While Aquaman is still a part of the same DC continuity as Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and Justice League, it's also going to stand apart from them in one major way: it takes place under the sea. Speaking to EW, Wan said:

"The water world my movie takes place in is so separate and so far apart from previous DC movies it’s like I’m making my own sci-fi fantasy film. This is a whole new underwater world nobody has seen before in live action.”

The tone of the DC movies - Wonder Woman aside - has been something that's come in from a lot of criticism, but it sounds like Wan is really taking things in a completely new direction, which should allow it to feel really fresh and distinct from what's come before, and make for some unique and inventive underwater sequences too.
