Comic Con 2018: Every Major Announcement You Need To Know

9. Aquaman Finally Gets A Trailer...And It's...OK?

After months and months and months of waiting, Warner Bros. finally unleashed the trailer for this Christmas' Aquaman. Director James Wan famously held back prior planned trailer releases because he wanted to ensure the visual effects were up to par, so it's a bit disconcerting that by far the worst thing about this first trailer is the ropey inconsistency of the CGI.

There are definite moments of promise throughout, though: the world of Atlantis looks gorgeous and the cast is certainly bringing the requisite charm, but if you're for some reason expecting anything more than a dead-average superhero origin story, you should probably start lowering your expectations right about now.

Hopefully trailer #2 will make a more convincing case for the film's greatness, but this was definitely a bit of a stumble out of the gate.
