With the upcoming release of the Justice League movie 2017, we’re devoting an entire episode of Yellow Spandex to the monarch of mollusks, the king of crabs, the emperor of eels himself: Aquaman! When it comes to Justice League, Aquaman is poised to be one of the breakout characters of the Justice League movie. For the DCEU Aquaman, Justice League could be the character’s defining moment when it comes to mainstream audiences, even though the DC comics character has been around since 1941. As played by Jason Momoa, Aquaman has a wild, barbarian vibe to him, which is a far cry from the orange and green aquatic avenger that we’re used to seeing for the Aquaman costume. For Aquaman, Jason Momoa is bringing his trademark wildman look to a very different incarnation of the character. But, this Aquaman isn’t without precedent, he’s based on a specific era from the Aquaman comics. We’ll get there soon, but first we have to explore the history of Aquaman costumes from the DC comic books.
From the initial debut of the classic Aquaman orange and green costume, it went more or less unchanged through the Silver Age. Aquaman finally got a true secret identity: Arthur Curry, or Orin. Aquaman didn’t get a true costume revamp until 1986, when Aquaman got a blue underwater camouflage costume. It didn’t last very long, though. He went back to his classic Aquaman costume until 1994, when Peter David turned the world of Aquaman upside down. Aquaman sank into a deep depression and grew out a shaggy hair and beard. Aquaman also lost his hand, which he replaced with a badass Aquaman harpoon hand. There would be a few more Aquaman comic book costumes over the years, but between the classic Aquaman costume and the wild gladiator look, those are the two most important Aquaman costumes.
When it comes to cartoons, beyond an early Filmation Aquaman cartoon and the Super Friends Aquaman, the best animated Aquaman is probably the DCAU Aquaman. Though Aquaman first appeared on Superman: The Animated Series, the best known appearances of DCAU Aquaman are the Justice League Aquaman and the Justice League Unlimited Aquaman, or JLU Aquaman. The Brave and the Bold Aquaman is also pretty great, especially once you realize he’s voiced by Bender Rodriguez, and the Young Justice Aquaman is pretty dope as well. As far as a live action Aquaman movie goes, in one universe it already happened: James Cameron’s Aquaman. Entourage based a long-running on a fictional Aquaman movie, and the brief glimpse we get of the Entourage Aquaman costume doesn’t exactly fill us with hope. Aquaman also appeared on Smallville, where his orange and green Aquaman costume comes from the University of Miami. This Aquaman was going to be spun off into his own Aquaman TV show, codenamed Mercy Reef, but we never got to see a costume from that version. Finally, we’ve come to the modern DCEU Aquaman. The Jason Momoa Aquaman costume is definitely a departure from the classic Aquaman costume, but by the time the Justice League movie comes out, he might be our new favorite superhero.

The DCAU Harpoon costume was so badass that was the first time a lot of people started to take the character seriously
Are you kidding? He is going to steal the show in Justice League! That suit is bad ass!
Justice League is going to be bad.
Justice League was decent
Lol
It is
He did very well in the film, and the costume did fit in very well with the overall look. Jason Momoa was well cast for Aquaman.
Thx you’re doing a great job! Oh the HARPOON HAND! he’s a badass with that no matter what the costume is!
YES! I love aqua man and I'm glad he's getting a episode of this amazing show.
BTW like if you love Arthur Curry too.
Fav Aquaman is definitely Mermaid Man
the Aquaman suit from the James wan solo movie is just *chef's kiss* perfection. it's an incredible adaptation of the original orange and green look
Definitely the best Aquaman costume of all time. It's possible for there to be a better costume, but it'll sure be hard. That suit is easily in the Top 20 - Top 10 Super-Hero Movie and Comic Book Movie costumes of all time
I don't mind the armor he's sporting now but look he had going on in BvS is pretty darn badass looking.
Don’t care what updates he has from a bearded pirate to a black lantern the classic orange and green will always be my favorite
My favorite Aquaman costume is the one he wore in the 90"s comics.
Well done!
I've been a big fan of Aquaman my entire life. I remember him on the Super Friends cartoons. I thought his super power of aquatic telepathy was unique. It did as a young child as it still does at almost 45 years old. Aquaman has to be in my top 5 favorite DC super heroes list. I really thought the blue camo suit was a good fit, as well as the hook-handed gladiator costume. At the end of the day, the original orange and green costume will always be my favorite likeness. As for the Aquaman movie, I was impressed. Jason Momoa does a great job in the role and is truly giving Aquaman more credibility as a top JLA character. I can't wait to see Aquaman 2!
It's hard to imagine that the cheesy Golden Age persona is arguably one of the most bad ass hero's today. I loved the Geoff Johns New 52 take on Aquaman which got me hooked. I even like his gold and green suit, as long as he kicks ass 😉. But his Rebirth suit is my favourite comic suit, as for the DCEU, Aquaman looks awesome! Trust me if done right, Aquaman will be a more mainstream hero than ever before.
hank venture's aquaman pj's are my fave. can't wait for the movie!
Thanks for these videos ;-)
I quite like the Justice League version of the costume worn by Jason Momoa, it looks really cool and fits in with the overall style of the JL in that particular movie.
New 52 is my favorite and is the best
I love the blue and white costume and I’m also proud to have the dc universe figure
I think y’all left out one Aquaman show/movie
I just hope they keep influences Greek in the live action. The Atlantaneans worship Poseidon in the DCU, and Atlantis is of course a Greek myth.
ok, I think it's time for Kya to say how was AQUAMAN on the JL movie...! Come on, a little feedback is also welcome, you know?
Aquamans current suit Awesome
Classic digs for the win, or maybe The Brave and the Bold! Great show\upload PEACE.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU DON'T A LIVE ACTION BATMAN EVOLUTION YET? YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!
Slim Shady they did
he has a new suit now
aquaman with long hair is THE aquaman
Always love the vids
4:44 Only an hour? LOL
My favorite is from Batman Brave and the Bold
Harpoon because I grew up watching the justice league show
"only an hour" 😂
I prefer the silver age Orange top & green pants, blonde hair cut &clean shaven Aquaman.
Thanks
aquaman new 52 my fav ..
Why no mention of "Throne of Atlantis"?
Or the Flashpoint movie?
The humming in the music creeps me out
Did anything happen to aurther joesph currey after the sword of atlantis.

The new one is the best
I like the blue one
great in-depth videos as ever, i feels sad that not that many people watch them :(
Why not just use a white backdrop? She looks like she's turning into She-Hulk.
🎶🎶 Under the sea 🎶🎶
Aquaman acts more like Cyborg than Cyborg in Justice League
Need me a Green Arrow episode of this series
I know this is late but do a WOLVERINE yellow spandex
Arthor Joseph curry is his son
Bruh dont you mean The Movies catch up to the comics? He's already changing costume to his og one in aquaman
7:58 Good night everybody!
Nice Speech , to my opinion I go with the Justice League Animated series he looks more bada**
yay
Aqua man is going to have his movie in 2019
0 what's Aquaman's name
Lmao Roman reigns
Who's here because of kya
I meant what's Aquaman's son name
What's with the weird pronunciation in the older cartoons? "Akk-wah-man???"
I love the episode the Justice League when he lost his arm. It's a shame you didn't share the clip.
What’s that sound around 1:15
There’s another around 2:30
Part 3 at 3:43 man this is like so irritating
Dammit, there’s another thing at 6:55
Jason moma looks like namor.
Lol me and aquaman have the same name
Not arther btws his atlantis name
I think the movie version is the first decent version.
Ever realize that Aquaman's weakness is those tiny plastic rings and pollution come to think of it he's lame af
Can you please make a video were you don't put your downward opinion in them it really make me not wanna watch your great videos.
Batman BATB Aquaman is the best Aquaman
Aquaman is the only one from JL I'm looking forward to. I just hope they cut his hand off
Don’t forget how spongebob parodied aqua man with mermaid man and barnacle boy
WHO LIVES IN ATLANTIS AND SUCKS IN DCEU AQUAMAN
I actually thought for a brief moment it was Roman Reigns, when I saw the Aquaman for the first time lol
btw: am I the only one who thinks that the seashell tiara actually looks pretty cool, regarding the whole appearance of the corresponding version of Aquaman? xD
Harpon
....She didn't know what aqua man was before filming this video
yea
Aqua man action hour...
No worries with Arthur Curry
Is the early squad here
15
All these new JL movie costumes already look hokey and awkward to me. I suspect that they will age like Shaq O'Neal in Steel.
Thomas
Ted Naifeh WHY DID YOI SAY THAT NAME????!!!!!!!!!
Ur hard to listen to/watch
