Warner Bros. and star Jason Momoa are certainly making a splash with Aquaman, the first ever standalone outing for the DC Comics hero, under the direction of Conjuring universe creator James Wan. Aquaman is unique in that a huge portion of the film takes place underwater, leaving no question of why Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman don't get involved with a global-scale issue. Comicbook.com reports the benefit of the film's wholly independent nature is that it allows Momoa's Arthur Curry to finally establish himself free of almost any universe-built continuity constraints.
