Justice League may have been a disappointing mess, but at least it gave Jason Momoa's Aquaman a decent enough introduction.

Will it be enough to make the Atlantean's $160 million solo movie a hit? It remains to be seen, but with The Conjuring and Furious 7's director James Wan at the helm, leading a cast including Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard and Dolph freaking Lundgren, it's tough not to be intrigued.

If Wan can decisively cement that Aquaman's not a joke character, and can deal with the potentially tricky nature of a movie set predominantly underwater, this could be a left-field hit for the DCEU. It can't be worse than Suicide Squad, can it?
