Aquaman: 8 New Details DC Just Revealed

6. The Underwater Dialogue

With the movie mostly taking place underwater, one of the big questions has been how it'll handle dialogue scenes. Justice League had Mera creating a large air pocket so she could converse with Arthur, but Aquaman is really simplifying the approach to talking, as Wan explains:

"People are overthinking it. They’re just gonna talk!”

It's hard to argue with that, really. EW - who got to see around 15 minutes of footage - mention that "Wan then adds a tad bit of a visual effect as Atlanteans speak, suggesting sound waves" but otherwise dialogue scenes are going to play out as they would in any other setting, which makes much more sense than having two hours of people creating air pockets to have a chat.
