Aquaman: 10 Things Fans Demand Most

2. Aquaman Losing His Hand

Aquaman First Look
DC Comics

Since no comic film aims for an NC-18 rating, it’s pretty unlikely that any film would contain how Aquaman loses his hand – mostly since it’s eaten off by piranhas in a series of comic pages that are pretty hardcore at their nicest. That said, the Aquaman that develops from this event is the closest – physically and personality-wise – to his movie counterpart, making it seem possible that the storyline will be used.

While it's unlikely that The Hand Event will make it into his first solo film, there is yet hope it will feature eventually in the DCEU films. Or, at the very least, there will be a reference to the fact that the hero went so long without one half of his punching ability in the comics. Also, who doesn’t want to see someone fight with a harpoon hand?

It’s a dark, dark dream to hope someone loses their hand, and yet it seems crazy to not hope this will eventually occur in some film or another.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
