Trailer Thoughts: "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis"
Continuing the pattern of DC Entertainment films, we just got a Batman film in “Batman: Assault on Arkham,” so now it’s time for a Justice League movie.
This one, “Justice League: Throne of Atlantis,” is the Aquaman new 52 origin to introduce him to the Justice League. I didn’t understand why Aquaman needed to be replaced in “Justice League: War” by Shazam, but Atlantis’ rightful leader gets his due in this feature.
Right away, the animation stands out and even in the quick clip, we see that this is another effort that will definitely earn its PG-13 rating. Not that I have a big problem with it, but it seems a bit counter-intuitive for DC to revamp their universe in an attempt to get younger readers and make their movies so decidedly non-kid-friendly.
Black Manta is also making an appearance, but it looks like the main focus is on Aquaman vs. Ocean Master so that should be fun as that’s not a main comic rivalry we’ve seen outside of the comics too often.

I never understood why aquaman suit is orange? I never took to him or cared that he existed other than the JL unlimited version
It breaks up the numerous reds, blues and greens in the Justice League and DC characters in general. And it’s not a color that a lot of characters have so it helps him to stand out.
