Yeah, I thought it was kind of odd, too. much like his reason for even being there, aside from having possession of one of the boxes.

Weren't the early screenings also considered good for Justice League?

I don't believe so... I'm pretty sure that's the reason they brought in Whedon in the first place, no? Then more positive advanced screenings were the ones right before the theatrical release saying "It's not that bad!"

Aquaman should be the "Black Panther" of DC movies.
Take an unknown superhero to the general public and make him mainstream. Granted the Brave and the Bold cartoon will always have the best Aquaman. Outrageous! |

You're retarded if you think people don't know Aquaman. Even as joke fodder, people know him.

General population? Most don't know anyone outside Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman. People you see spouting Aquaman memes online are not general people.

You seriously believe your average person knows who Aquaman is? Most don't even know who Green Lantern or Flash is, let alone Aquaman.
The most well known DC superheroes to casuals or people who don't care about comics have always been Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Robin. And for Robin it's just Dick Grayson, they don't know any of the others. |

Aquaman is definitely well-known enough by the general public for them to crack a joke about him being "the guy who talks to fish".
No one is arguing that he's more well-known than Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Iron Man or Spider-Man

For example Marvel made Iron Man mainstream that even a random 40 year old woman these days probably knows who he is. You couldn't say that a decade ago. That's what mainstream means, that your average person who doesn't know much about comics/cartoons, etc. can at least know who they are. None of my older relatives know much about superheroes, they basically just know Superman/Batman, Wonder Woman and that's about it. |

He is known thanks to Super Friends. Yes, it has been off the air since 1986 and yes out of rotation on normal networks the last ten years, but he is known thanks to that. The Big Bang Theory makes jokes based on his telepathic communication with sea life power. Aquaman may get the short end, but he is known. I argue he is the #4 character and a part of the secondary trinity along with Flash and Green Lantern. What makes him arguably more important than Flash and Green Lantern is not having multiple Aquaman characters for a period of time(yes, I know about A.J. Curry that was around for two years) and being a constant presence despite not getting the best of treatment. He does have royal authority over more area than anyone on the planet! He is short ended by being a water based character when most action takes place on either land or space. There is the limitation on how to use him for that and causes him to go into a circle on him being king then losing the throne and gaining it back, rinse and repeat(pun unintended). Aquaman should get a stint as the chairman of the JLA. He is the natural leader among them. Forget about the bait and switch in the short-lived Detroit give the King of Atlantis his chance!

Why do you guys assume every average person knows everything about superheroes, comics, etc? Or watches the TV shows, etc? You guys do realize many millions of people do not watch all these movies or shows that come out?
Up until the early 2000's I never even knew who Green Arrow was. My first exposure to him was the JLU cartoon, and before that I never heard of him. But not everyone watches cartoons, TV shows, etc. |
