Things seem to be coming along nicely on production of Aquaman. Mera's gotten a very comic accurate costume and so too has Aquaman (if that statuette is believed to appear in the film) and the comic accurate costumes keep coming in as Yayha Abdul-Mateen shows off how his Black Manta will look.

Pretty good if I say so myself.

We've got to wait a whole year until next november to see King Arthur and all of Atlantis properly but not before getting a glimpse at Aquaman's world in Justice League this november.

But what do you guys think of how Black Manta will look? Yay? Nay?

Hmmmm.......

I don't know.

Doesn't seem accurate. The helmet is all wrong.

KnifeWasTooSlow - 7/25/2017, 3:52 PM

I think it's different, but makes sense for the realistic setting the DCEU is aiming for.

Gjedi - 7/25/2017, 5:57 PM

@SlowKnife - make sense for them..after WW became the number one movie of the summer..why not :)

jerryblake - 7/25/2017, 3:55 PM

i could get used to the helmet but purple colour ? c`mon

TomSolo - 7/25/2017, 5:08 PM

@jerryblake - Dude, it's just the lighting. He'll look blue in the final film. People need to stop comparing him to Ivan Ooze.

PeterSparker - 7/25/2017, 5:11 PM

@TomSolo - Lol

TheBigLebowski - 7/25/2017, 3:56 PM

Looks pretty good. Wonder why they didn't reveal this at Comic-Con? Hall H would have gone apeshit

Kumkani - 7/25/2017, 3:57 PM

Couldn't have been done better if you ask me. Another great costume to add to the DCEU

Just in!!!!!! The cast of Inhumans are very jealous. Though one cast member is fine with this........that cast member being the wig!

DemonHunter - 7/25/2017, 4:20 PM

I like this more than Cyborg's CGI

sKeemAn - 7/25/2017, 4:23 PM

I'm feeling everything but the spatula. You couldnt get a damn fork dude!!

Ha1frican - 7/25/2017, 4:37 PM

Mmmm....mmmmmmmm....mmmmmmmMANRAY!

MrMartyMarvel - 7/25/2017, 4:47 PM

Damn, both practical and comic accurate. I gotta say, I'm in awe!

BlackIceJoe - 7/25/2017, 4:50 PM

This reminds me of the original Red Tornado.

BritishMonkey - 7/25/2017, 4:54 PM

@BlackIceJoe - Homage perhaps?

ThatAlexDude - 7/25/2017, 4:50 PM

Best...

Costume...

Ever...

I am crying manly tears right now, I'm not even joking.

Doomsday8888 - 7/25/2017, 5:05 PM

Still better than Inhumans.

BlackStar25 - 7/25/2017, 5:06 PM

Still better than this:

Mercwitham0uth - 7/25/2017, 8:13 PM

@BlackStar25 - Who could forget the value village Vision?

MikeEhrmantraut - 7/25/2017, 5:24 PM

I think DC is making a great choice with this redesign for Black Manta. Out of all the questionable decisions that DC has made, I agree with this choice.

By the way, I can't wait 'til DC announces the Black Manta solo movie.
