Nah. That went out the window over 30 years ago when Canada brought home the Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

First look at Momoa as Aquaman (and I'm not liking it):

*Long hair, scraggly beard and a ton of tattoos -- not at all what I wanted to see as Aquaman.

Don't get me wrong, I think Momoa has the face and body to carry off the classic Aquaman but the styling on this version is totally wrong.

Aquaman is BLOND. He has short hair and NO tattoos. Why the hell would a man who lives in water have a tattoo? Who would do the work and why? DUMB DUMB DUMB.

Momoa sure can pick em, eh?

I'm not understanding this need to move away from the classic description of these superheroes and into something dark and edgy. It's one thing to want to stay away from being cartoonish with costumes but there's no reason to change their looks entirely. Marvel didn't have to do it with their superheroes so why DC feels the need to muck it up is beyond me.

I shudder to think how DC would have handled the Guardians of the Galaxy....

They just seem to keep dropping the ball. People don't want to see some heavily tattooed homeless man with a trident, they want to see Aquaman. Why can't DC figure this out?

*and from the looks of it DC couldn't even get the trident right.

Hey, he would make a great Poseidon though.

Jason Momoa nearly undressed....hmmmm I like!

Don't know how much he got paid - but despite his lack of box-office success I doubt he's clipping coupons!

No Jason, we don't want Aquaman re-made into a homeless man who lives on the Santa Monica pier.

What’s great about this is Zack [Snyder], man. We don’t want to just reinvent it, but he’s a got a whole idea of what Aquaman should be and I’m really honored to be playing it. I’m excited for the world to see it.”

That image says Neptune more than it says Aquaman to me. Why would a water-breathing human hybrid have tattoss?

Probably because the writers are going to have him be some bad ass surfer dude who doesn't know his lineage only to have it thrust upon him or some shit like that. He'll be a wastrel and a dilettante who spends his days at the beach and his nights bedding different women without a care in the world...until he's attacked by an evil villain who knows his secret and then he has to quickly learn responsibility and leadership skills, all in about 90 minutes of screen time.
