Do you plan on shopping there again for your dietary needs now that you can eat gluten foods or will you not purchase from them out of principle? Heh heh

70 pounds is huge. I can't imagine how it feels now on your joints. It must feel so good.

lol! Just thought it was funny. These moves seem easy but can still make your heart race, good cardio.

One of our CBMers, Desstroke, added a bit of colour to the Aquaman image director Zack Snyder posted late last night. Obviously it's just a rough idea of how Momoa could look as the character in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, but it's probably not too far off if you take the second image into account. That comes courtesy of graphic designer Elija VanDine, who messed with the levels in the original pic and got the most colour he could from it.

By completely changing the look of the character. Though it's yet to be seen if this changes perception of the character.

Also, in MOS, he was supposedly the one who saved Clark on that oil rig so.....I'm guessing he's already Aquaman by then.

That was a shocker for sure. It was supposed to be a surprise in 2016, so it definitely helps [our show]. I’ve been holding that secret for a long time. Zack Snyder called me up and said, “I’m posting this picture now.” He’s just a genius and I love him to death. He sent it over and we’re in the middle of the editing suite for the thing I’m doing right now, and we all freaked out, man. It was so amazing to see it come out.  

No, we haven’t done too much on the action yet. You know, Justice League is still quite a ways away. But I’m looking forward to it. Henry’s a sweetheart, Ben is a badass, so I’m really looking forward to when we all shoot Justice League.

Well, it’s Batman and Superman, it’s not my movie. It’s the first time in history to have them both on the screen together, and I’m just excited to see those two up there.  

Well, you know, I think that’s left for the genius of Snyder to kind of reveal that. There’s definitely a plan in this whole universe that he’s designing, and it’s amazing to be a part of it. I think everything that you see that is building, there’s a purpose behind the whole plan. So I wouldn’t want to take anything away from Zack, because he loves revealing all those things. And… you never know, man.

Oh, absolutely. The whole mythology of Aquaman is pretty amazing. There’s so many things to tell, and there’s a whole backstory that’s just amazing. There’s a lot of surprises coming. I think, yeah, he’s been cast aside. But, um [laughs] times are going to change now, buddy. Conan was really hard, because you have 15 different types of fans and so many things to respect and honor. To do it right it’s got to be bloody-bloody-bloody-bloody-bloody, and not a lot of people go see that anymore. It’s not the ’80s anymore. It’s a really hard format. We busted ass, but there were a lot of cooks in the kitchen on that one. What’s great about this is Zack, 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. 

I would love to. What’s great about it is we shoot six episodes in less than two months; it can totally fit in there. I would love to do two more seasons. Kopus is an amazing character to play. I’m going to direct my own stuff, work on Red Road, and obviously, I’m excited about kicking some ass on the DC Films. It’s fun to be able to dress up and go play a superhero. It’s a pretty choice job. And to be able to honor my native culture is another badass thing. I’m definitely living the dream right now.

It's not like he was commanding it, I think they just did it to show a basic storm. It was something someone whipped up in the first few hours of the release. I just liked it cause it shows his suit from another angle, makes me wonder where they got the image and why it was released so fast.

Is that also official? I only see one pic in Snyder's Twitter.

“Hey guys, remember that poster I got? I had it signed at Indy Comic today by Jason Mamoa. I asked Jason, ‘Can you write down a reason why all these DC haters out there should join our DC universe.’”

“F**k Marvel!”

Well, can you blame them? Looking back now, he wouldn't have been a very good fit for the character anyway. Aquaman is more up his alley.

His Drax was painful to watch. I finished the movie, but it was a tough task.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is currently on the press tour for Universal's Furious 7, and while he's primarily answering questions about the upcoming action sequel, the good folks over at IGN managed to slip him a quick query about his upcoming role as Black Adam and whether or not he could potentially show up and/or join the Justice League.

IGN: We are so excited to see Black Adam as this anti-hero imagining there's going to be this antagonistic relationship with Shazam, but I'm wondering, are you interested in exploring his heroic side down the line. Do you think that he could eventually join the Justice League?

Dwyane 'The Rock' Johnson: I think so, and I think you always want to leave that creatively open, that he could join the Justice League and I think... that's the fun part of creating this character right now and everybody involved, from the studio, from New Line, to Warner Bros as well, to the writer, our producing partners. You want to... you definitely want to engage in his heroic side, but that has to be earned and with the mythology of Black Adam starting off as a slave, because when you start off as a slave, just inherently, there's things in your DNA that piss you off. And that's the bottomline, so I think we have to respect and pay homage to the true mythology and then the heroic side will come down the line, but I think it's important and we all feel it's important and I believe the fans at IGN feel it's important to make sure the homage is paid at the beginning because then you have a stronger foundation to stand on, and so he will become an anti-hero, but at first... daddy's got to go to work. 

Now, let's recap a bit, Shazam! is expected to hit theaters April 5, 2019, so the earliest we would theoretically see Johnson suited up as Black Adam would be sometime in 2018 when the film kicks off production. However, if he debuted as one of the villains, presuming that there are multiple villains, in Zack Snyder's Justice League: Part One, which is set to arrive November 17, 2017, we could see him as the character as early as next year when that film begins production. This could potentially mean a showdown between him and Henry Cavill's Superman might happen sooner than later. 

If none of the above comes to fruition, Shazam! does arrive two months before Justice League: Part Two, which releases June 14, 2019, so if he doesn't appear in the first part, there is always a good chance he could appear in the second.
