The Rumour

Worry not, Aquaman purists, for Aquaman will indeed be using his famed marine telepathy, according to one particularly avid follower of the project and the character, from AquamanShrine (so you'd think he would know...)

Response

It has to happen really: it might seem a little... hokey... from the outside, but Aquaman's ability to talk to fish and sea mammals is as fundamental a part of his character as living under the sea. You can't just drop it because someone thinks it's silly.

And to be honest, the DCEU could do with some levity, and seeing Aquaman have conversations with fish might be the right tonic. Though presumably it's more likely we'll just see more stylised natural history documentary style footage of fish swarming at his command or something similar.

Have you watched underwater documentaries? That stuff is terrifying and amazing: and if you think it'll be too silly you're really not paying attention.
