First Picture of Ridonkulously Fine Jason Momoa As Aquaman Surfaces

Zack Snyder is determined to prove Aquaman is a bad-ass superhero, and actor Jason Momoa is the perfect person to play him: The director tweeted out the first images of Momoa as the king of the seven seas on Thursday, with the message "There is only one true King. #unitetheseven."

The former Game of Thrones actor will make his debut as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, coming to theaters in March 2016 and Justice League: Part One in November 2017, before getting his own standalone film in July 2018.

The character of Aquaman was seen as a second-rate superhero for years—the butt of jokes on SNL and Robot Chicken.

But the character has been revamped in recent years—given a rich history, strongwilled attitude and superhuman strength in and out of water.

While most people think of Aquaman as a blond haired twink with an orange shirt and green tights, Momoa's look is more in line with Peter David's take on Aquaman from the late 1990s,  which saw him sporting long hair, armor and, at one point, a hook for a hand.

Below, Snyder's original tweet.
