'Aquaman': How DC can rectify its 'Justice League' mistakes by copying 'Wonder Woman'

Will Jason Momoa's demi-God of the sea, Aquaman, be the one to pull the DC cinematic universe from the rut it has been stuck in since ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'?

With ‘Aquaman’ all set to release on December 21, one can’t help but wonder if Jason Momoa’s demi-God of the sea will be the one to pull the DC cinematic universe from the rut it has been stuck in since ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ and provide some modicum of competition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

From the looks of it, the upcoming movie has already beaten some records set by Marvel’s 'Infinity War' and has the potential to break more records in the months to come.  

DC and Marvel fans have always been fiercely competitive, not unlike ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Star Trek’ fans, butting heads over their favorite superheroes time and again. However, even hardcore DC fans cannot deny that ever since both brands went cinematic, Marvel has been kicking DC’s rear end in terms of popularity, which in turn translates to box office collections.
