Arthur Curry, better known as Aquaman, is getting his first solo movie on December 21. The character first showed up briefly in Batman v. Superman before getting a proper introduction in Justice League, in which he teamed up with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Cyborg to save the world. But now it's his turn to go it alone.

Aquaman is historically one of the Justice League's less celebrated members, since fans typically aren't super impressed by his ability to talk to fish. But the latest entry in the DC Extended Universe hopes to change that. And it's off to a good start with actor Jason Momoa in the role. Much has been said about how awesome Momoa is, but there are plenty of other reasons to get hyped for the flick.

Here are some other things you should know about Aquaman.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role.

Without spoiling it, the impassioned debate revolves around rodent-kind versus an all-American toy. Plus, the panelists tackle what Pixar sequel reigns supreme, which Disney villain is the best (and baddest), and which Star Wars film is left lacking.
