TRIDENT TIME? Itte oakah!

There’s quite a bit of set footage fl oating around out there from upcoming superhero standoff epic Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it’s only wobbly hand-held bits of Ben Affl eck as regular old Bruce Wayne running down the street. Now we have word that perhaps we actually should be looking out for Aquaman! While rumours have been sprinkled around that Jason Momoa may be cast as the underwater hero (rumours that we ourselves helped spread last month), a man claiming to be Zack Snyder has rung into a Detroit radio station and told the hosts off for laughing at Aquaman’s abilities. “The cool thing with Aquaman is his triton, so you have to realise that could cut the fl esh of Superman if they came in contact,” maybe-Snyder said. “Not to say he’s in my movie or anything like that, but he has the potential to be bad ass. That’s all I’m saying.” I think we’d all really like to see Momoa swipe his triton around at Henry Cavill, so let’s hope this one’s for realsies.
