Able to leap tall chasms in a single stroke. Faster than a Mantis Shrimp Punch. More powerful than a speeding blue whale. This amazing visitor from under the sea! Aquaman! DAMMIT PEOPLE HE IS NOT A JOKE! For decades now, Arthur Curry has been the running joke of DC Comics, a character who has faced unimaginable horrors in the deepest …

There’s plenty of terrific stuff in the new trailer for Justice League, most of which seems dedicated to what I’d imagine is the third act of the film: There’s a conveniently abandoned Eastern-European City, the Parademons of Apocalypse have turned a nuclear reactor into a nesting ground and the Justice League is united for a final stand against SteppenWolf and his hordes. Still no Superman in action, which is the smartest marketing move by Warner Bros. so far I reckon.

What lies ahead for DC Comics? Here’s a round-up of the biggest titles on the way (Minus Dark Nights: Metal but more on that later), which will clue you in on what 2017 still has in store for the DC Universe.

I f*cking hate Aquaman in Injustice 2. If DC Comics and NetherRealm wanted to distance themselves as far as possible from the stereotypical image of a founding Justice League member whose moist schtick has been mercilessly mocked for decades, then job well done. Because the Injustice 2 Aquaman may be the biggest dick in the seven seas. Fortunately, Black Manta is here to cut him down to size.

From Avengers to Justice League, evil Batmen from another universe and Stephen Spielberg's love letter to video games with Ready Player One, the 2017 San Diego Comic Con had a lot of big reveals. Here's a round-up of all of them.

At the San Diego Comic Con, the Warner Bros. Panel confirmed that Gal Gadot would once again suit up as the mighty Amazon while DC’s big cheese Geoff Johns writes the script, although director Patty Jenkins has yet to confirm if she’ll be back to helm the sequel. A deal is expected to be inked soon however. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! DC’s current slate of sequels and original films is looking mighty strong.

Part of the work towards making Aquaman great again comes from the script, but a lot more of that responsibility is going to be riding on the shoulders of the artist tasked with bringing those words to life. Something that new Aquaman artist Stjepan Sejic appears to have a frim grasp of. Seriously, look at this gorgeous art and tell me that you don’t want to see more of this guy in action. That beard alone deserves to rule the oceans

We’ve already had one peek at the DC’s biggest attempt to sucker-punch Marvel with their own shared universe of iconic characters, a glimpse of things to come which hinted at a film that wasn’t in dire need of a prescription for Prozac and was ready to actually crack a smile between super-powered beatdowns. That’s a flavour which continues in the first official trailer for Justice League.
