5 Reasons Why The Justice League Movie Shouldn't Happen

3. Aquaman Is A Terrible, Terrible Superhero

Now, I€™m no expert on the superhero anthology, but the concept of Aquaman just seems entirely ridiculous to me. From what I can make out, his only €œsuperpower€ (if you can call it that) is his ability to telepathically communicate with creatures of the sea. Unless Justice League is taking place in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, this power is going to be almost entirely useless. He could be left out of the movie for the precise reason that nobody would really take him seriously, but then I€™m sure there are a lot of people who thought nobody would ever be able to take Iron Man or Thor seriously before they had their films. It all comes back to the point that there won€™t be an origin story: we won€™t know about Aquaman€™s life pre-Justice League; we won€™t know how he came to be, or be told what his powers are. He€™s just going to look kind of strange in his weird fish-suit and everybody€™s going to be wondering what he can actually do until he goes somewhere near water.
