As an avid DC Comics fan, the past few years have been rough, at least cinematically speaking. Watching Marvel Studios produce blockbuster after blockbuster while watching DC shoot itself in the foot for the fifth time is nothing short of depressing. It's like the equivalent of watching your older, way more successful sibling open up keys to a brand-new car on Christmas morning, all while you're holding a pair of socks. If you don't believe me just note that "Suicide Squad" came out for DC around the same time as "Captain America: Civil War" did for Marvel. Like I said, it's been a rough few years for DC fans.

Though not all hope is lost, as we just recently got a trailer for "Aquaman" starring Jason Momoa, aka the only DC character with a real personality.

With Aquaman finally getting his own movie in December, DC has time to properly develop a character for once. If done correctly, this forces viewers to make meaningful relationships with the hero. That way, when movies such as "Justice League" or "Avengers: Infinity War" come out, we should genuinely care about how our favorite characters will prevail. I can't speak on everyone's behalf, but I will anyways in saying Infinity War did a much better job of this. I almost wanted some characters to die when watching "Justice League" because of their annoying one liner every scene (The Flash).

For the new "Aquaman" movie, Jason Momoa plays his version of the iconic hero, who is this badass guy that roams the sea fighting enemies and drinking whatever chance he gets. He gives off this biker gang vibe, except the gang is completely underwater and probably based in Atlantis. Throughout the "Justice League" movie, Momoa's Aquaman shows time and time again he is this giant, muscular, fun loving being that has insane powers. The entire movie I couldn't help but wondering what more there was to him, especially after hearing him say things like "I just want to be left alone" when talking about Atlantis asking him for help.

What's that about? You're telling me that the supposed "King of the Seas" would rather blow off his own people than give up some alone time? Despite that, it's truthfully hard not to like him, even when introduced in a movie that didn't set up his character very well. I'm actually interested about the reason he's astray from Atlantis and living this rebel lifestyle.

This "Aquaman" movie has enough going for it that it could actually be DC's saving grace. Aquaman is an extremely powerful character that has been around literally since 1941. People have been waiting for the hero to get his own solo movie for such a long time now, that they will go to this movie regardless of the previous monstrosities that have wandered out of the DC film studio. If DC has any functioning braincells left, they will look at the success the Aquaman character has found in both comics and animated movies. Stories he's in such as, "The Trench" or "Throne of Atlantis" on the big screen would have people practically throwing money at them.

Look, I am no expert when it comes to movies, just an avid fan really wanting a great company not to "screw the pooch" over and over. They have a great actor in Jason Momoa and have access to hundreds of stories that feature Aquaman they can bring to life. At the end of the day, we just need to keep in mind that DC is the same studio that produced "The Dark Knight Trilogy" so there just might be some hope. Nonetheless, we shall inevitably see come this December if "Aquaman" is truly meant to save DC.
