My sun and stars -- Aquaman is cooler than ever.
Director Zack Snyder tweeted out a first look of what Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa will look like in the upcoming film Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. From the looks of it, the traditionally brightly-colored, spandex-clad superhero has taken on the look of much grittier, bad-ass sea god.

Momoa's Aquaman now joins fellow Justice League members Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman, who have been previously announced. Of course, as with all superhero film announcements, fans immediately celebrated the news with memes.

Momoa's ultra-cool, spandex-free look should please superhero fans. Historically, the character hasn't been much of an ally to the rest of the Justice League since being able to control sea creatures doesn't come in handy in their line of work.
Judging by Momoa's tribal tattoos and trident, the age of sad and dorky Aquaman is over. Let us take a moment of silence.
