Walt

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you Aquaman! Director Zack Snyder has delivered a late night treat on twitter, revealing Jason Momoa’s Aquaman from the upcoming “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Seeing as how Aquaman is the king of the seven seas, the title over the image — “Unite The Seven” — seems rather fitting, but is that all it means?
