The crew cut does indeed cause an unfortunate resemblance to Captain Nazi.<br /><br />2.Not loving the trident, although it could be a badge of office, being this is "Emperor" Aquaman. Once again, however, Tridents have 3 prongs, not 5. It's right in the name.<br /><br />3. Are those leather pants? Thick ankles, too.

Not that psyched about a weapon being a permanent part of Aquaman's m.o.; would really rather see him accomplish things via his physicality and telepathy. And while it looks cool, it's not a trident if it has 5 prongs.Joseph Brian Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-69953553298623452702011-04-01T18:40:45.578-04:002011-04-01T18:40:45.578-04:00Good job JD and yes its a temporary look but word ...Good job JD and yes its a temporary look but word is that Flashpoint will have bits and pieces that last into the mainstream DCU even after the timeline is restored.Joe Slabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830460003862069026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-41318794595583125392011-04-01T17:33:32.842-04:002011-04-01T17:33:32.842-04:00Do we think maybe they change the costumes for the...Do we think maybe they change the costumes for the specific intent of selling more action figures?!?

I'm thrilled to have ANY comic with "Aquaman" in the title again.<br /><br />Also, call me cynical, but the minute I see a major character getting a revamped look, even a temporary one, all I can think of it'll be the basis of a new line of DC Direct figures.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-41802143760545158982011-04-01T15:51:55.188-04:002011-04-01T15:51:55.188-04:00I always preferred fins too, now that you mention ...I always preferred fins too, now that you mention it.JDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-76456530870379182622011-04-01T15:44:05.618-04:002011-04-01T15:44:05.618-04:00As long as it is temporary, I am okay with it.

Since it looks like the trident is becoming a permanent part of Aquaman's arsenal, a strap for him to actually keep it on his back (it's just kind of floating there magnetically in brightest day) would make a lot of sense.David J.
