Sneak Peek more new footage, plus images of Jason Momoa as 'Arthur Curry', the star of the upcoming "Aquaman" stand-alone, 3D underwater feature, plus take a look @ the origins of "Aquaman" movie villain 'Black Manta:
'Aquaman' was created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger, debuting in "More Fun Comics" #73 (November 1941), as the son of an 'Atlantean' queen and a lighthouse keeper from the town of 'Amnesty Bay', who would grow up to take on his birthright as the 'King of Atlantis'.
"...the story must start with my father, a famous undersea explorer—if I spoke his name, you would recognize it.
My mother died when I was a baby, and he turned to his work of solving the ocean's secrets.

"The boy would end up being subjected to experimental treatments. One treatment seemed to clear the boy's head, but left him violent as a result, killing the scientist who administered the treatment, before escaping from Arkham.
"As an adult, he designed a costume and fashioned a high-tech submersible inspired by manta rays. Taking the name Black Manta, he and his masked army became a formidable force, clashing with 'Aquaman', 'Wonder Woman' and a whole lot more...."
