Aquaman set pics show Jason Momoa and Amber Heard frolicking on the beach

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

I remember the first time I ever performed stand-up, I was in the sixth grade for a talent show. This would've been in '99 (if people are keeping track), and one of my first jokes ever was about Aquaman, which something along the lines of "If someone's robbing a bank, who are you gonna call, Aquaman? What's he going to do, ask a fish from a pet store for help?" As you can see, there's a reason I'm not the next Louis CK (also my final joke was a riff on Columbine, because I was a shitty kid).

I bring that story up, because for a long time, Aquaman was indeed just a joke. But that looks like that's finally about to change with the Jason Momoa iteration for the movies. He seems cool, badass, and above all fun. If you would've told sixth grader Damion that Aquaman would be one the things you were most anticipating for the JUSTICE LEAGUE film, he would've…probably kicked you in the nuts. Again, I was a shitty kid.
