The ‘Aquaman’ Poster Is Here & Wait, Is My Dude Wearing Jeans Under The Sea?

After what seems like an eternity in production, the James Wan helmed Aquaman movie is finally, finally getting a trailer on Saturday. The aquatic hero, played by Jason Momoa, got a bit of an outing in Justice League, but now his own movie is coming into the home stretch.

Now that those facts are out in the open, let us proceed to the matter at hand: why is Aquaman wearing jeans in the sea?

There are few kinds of pants less amenable to oceanic tomfoolery than a solid pair of denim jeans. Versatile in most other situations, but wholly unsuited to swimming. The chafing would be unbelievable, and the restricted motion around the knees would make propulsion more difficult than it needs to be. And don’t even get me started on the weight, folks! Wet denim doubles your weight at least.

Anyway, that’s really my own fixation there. Most Twitter users seemed more interested in the fact that it looks like a dark reboot of Finding Nemo.

So, we can await the full trailer on Saturday. It’s certainly the case that few other than DC Comics fans are really on the edge of their seat for an Aquaman movie, but Wan is a pretty solid director with some great work under his belt, so hopefully it’ll have something to show. The single frame of the trailer he teased looks pretty fun, anyway:

Here’s hoping there’s an absolute abundance of whale fluke scenes for us all to enjoy.
