Aquaman: 8 New Details DC Just Revealed
1. Big Bright Colourful Action
As previously mentioned, one of the issues with the DCEU has been the darkness surrounding it, both in terms of the nature of the story and the visuals. Warner Bros are clearly aware of that, and ahead of Aquaman are really trying to make it clear that this isn't cut from the same cloth. Speaking to EW, outgoing DC Entertainment President Geoff Johns said:
“The underwater stuff has never been executed like this before. The visual effects shots coming in are just beautiful. James can switch modes from horror to big bright colorful action to really emotional scenes. He’s so able to hit all these different genres.”
Warner Bros. film chief Tony Emmerich doubled down on that message, saying: "The film is taking you to a different place and imagining the underwater world in a way you haven’t seen before.”
Most of all, though, is that it's yet another film that will supposedly serve as a course-correct for the DC universe, with producer Peter Safran adding it's "got the great action you expect, it’s got a lot of great humor, it works on so many levels … it’s a testament to James’ unique vision. I think it’s an extraordinary step in DC Universe that sets it on the right path.”
