After the relative critical and commercial failures of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and then Justice League, against the successful Wonder Woman, the sole hope for the universe formerly known as the DCEU (which is currently without an official name) this year is Aquaman, a character that for a long time was considered a joke.

To be making a movie based on the seafaring superhero was once a risky proposition, and it still is to an extent, but with star Jason Momoa and director James Wan driving things the prospects are looking better than they have any right to be. Somehow, based on what little we've seen and heard, Aquaman is set up to be pretty good.
