They shouldn't make this film, it will be awful. That is all.

So true, just make an FF 3 with Namor in it and hopefully Super-Skrull

I'm already doubtful if DC/WB will be able to successfully adapt Aquaman, which I think they should save their time with and move on to other more plausible and profitable characters.

Why make a movie about the poor mans Aquaman the Sub-Mariner? Both of them shouldn't be adapted. I can't see the general public latching on to this.

namor appeared two years prior, and anyone with any sense will tell you aquaman is the poor man's namor. aquaman dresses like a goldfish and has less powers than dr dolittle.

Black Lantern Aquaman though, he awesome.

zombie anything is awesome. zombie uwe boll would be awesome. did i go too far?

def too far. Though i'm much more a fan of Aquaman than Namor. i think he'd make a better movie too. and i prefer aquaman's goldfish suit to namors beta-fish thong and red-bull ankle wings. gimme a movie that would involve an army of great whites anytime!

while you say aquaman dresses like a goldfish what about Namor he basically the same plus he got freaking wings on his leg LMAO

Based on popularity more people would be able to point out Aquman over Namor.

Thats why I used the term. No need to give me a lesson on premiere dates of each of the characters as thats not what I was referring to.

Anyway both of them suck.

Aquaman has more powers. if u read his comic ud know. he can command marine life, leap 4 stories, super strength, and impenetrable to bullets. namor can fly and has super strength. that it. oh and hes prince. Aquamans KING!!!

This is a testament to how little you infidels know about the history of Prince Namor... thus, I won't even grant you the courtesy of cheating you out of doing your homework. Awww... what the hec.. I guess I can helpyou out with this little crib sheet. Ready? ---Anyone knows that Namor is the crowned jewel of the creation of none other than Stan Lee, and his power far supercedes that of Aquamermaid, or whoever. Even though he had a fan base in the 70"s Cartoonivese (right next to the Banana Splits), Aquaman was a mortal that had aquired superpowers. Namor is IMMORTAL, and Namor the Sub-Mariner is a fictional comic book character in the Marvel Comics universe, and one of the first superheroes, debuting in Spring 1939. The character was created by writer-artist Bill Everett for Funnies Inc., one of the first "packagers" in the early days of comic books that supplied comics on demand to publishers looking to enter the new medium (Later a StanLee aquisition). Initially created for the unreleased comic Motion Picture Funnies Weekly, the Sub-Mariner first appeared publicly in Marvel Comics #1 (Oct. 1939) — the first comic book from Timely Comics, the 1930s-1940s predecessor of the company Marvel Comics. During that period, known to historians and fans as the Golden Age of Comic Books, the Sub-Mariner was one of Timely's top three characters, along with Captain America and the original Human Torch. Everett said the character's name was inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".[1]

The mutant son of a human sea captain and of a princess of the mythical undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Namor possesses the super-strength and aquatic abilities of the "Homo mermanus" race, as well as the mutant ability of flight, along with other superhuman powers. Through the years, he has been alternately portrayed as a good-natured but short-fused superhero, or a hostile invader seeking vengeance for perceived wrongs that misguided surface-dwellers committed against his kingdom.

The first known comic book antihero, the Sub-Mariner has remained a historically important and relatively popular Marvel character. He has served directly with the Avengers, Fantastic Four, the Invaders and the X-Men as well as serving as a foil to all of them on occasion.
In all his incarnations, Namor possesses superhuman strength nearly equal to that of Asgardian "God" Thor and the nuclear power of Hulk (and, with the possible exceptions of Orka and Tyrak at their full sizes, is the strongest Atlantean ever known. The exact level of his strength is dependent upon his physical contact with water, in which he needn't be submerged. It has been shown as sufficient to effortlessly toss a water-filled ocean-liner, despite the underwater viscosity.[20] His strength diminishes slowly the longer he is out of contact with water, though an extended period on land does not result in his death, as it would for a typical Atlantean, and his power is retained in full as long as he keeps himself wet. Namor also possesses superhuman stamina and resistance to injury due to his hybrid nature. He also cotrols and can transfigure water, as well as telekinetically cotrol all aspects of Marine life... I mean, after all Stan Lee is intelligent enough to give him this power if he is going to be deemed the Prince of the Sea, don't you think? Namor's strength level is such that he has held his own in hand to hand combat with beings as powerful as the Hulk in the past. When underwater, Namor is rivaled only by the Hulk and Thor in terms of raw strength. Namor was born in the capital city of the Atlantean empire, then located off the Antarctic coast; he was born of the pairing of Atlantean Emperor Thakorr's daughter, Fen, and an American sea captain, Leonard McKenzie, of the icebreaker Oracle. When Fen did not return from investigating the ship's presence in their Antarctic waters, Thakorr sent soldiers to attack the Oracle, thinking that she had been captured. In truth, McKenzie had taken her as his bride. In the ensuing attack, McKenzie was believed to be killed, and Fen returned to her kingdom. Nine months later, a pink-skinned child was born among the blue-skinned Atlanteans. He was raised in Atlantis, and when he matured, he would alternate between living there and adventuring in the oceans and on the surface. He became the Prince of Atlantis, and a warrior for his people. Upon attaining his kingship, he attained immortality. ----- 'nuff said.....

Aquaman has more powers. if u read his comic ud know. he can command marine life, leap 4 stories, super strength, and impenetrable to bullets. namor can fly and has super strength. that it. oh and hes prince. Aquamans KING!!!

You're a dick.

vin diesel for namor

I can get behind that.

I'd love to see Namor in a film but I don't know if the character could carry his own, at least not right away. It's sad that Universal owns the rights to the character, since Namor should really be brought in gracefully on the side, something along the lines of what they're doing with Nick Fury. He'd fit very well into the Captain America film - it'd be great if they found a way to work Namor and the rest of The Defenders into that movie in a small subplot or as background character. Namor could return in the other Marvel films, and be presented as a friendly (yet deeply changed by time) face for Rogers when he wakes up in the present day. Of course, none of this is possible. Oh well.

what's up with the BLACK PANTHER FILM?!?!?!

I'm pretty tuned into comics and I've never heard of this character. Sounds like a bad idea to me.

If you don't know who Namor is, you are not tuned in to comics.

And I like Namor enough, but have found him barely able to hold his own comic let alone a movie. He is one of the best side characters in any story he is in, though. So I'd much rather see him in a reboot FF or something else.

fail

You're "tuned into comics" and you don't know who Namor the Sub-Mariner is? You might want to check your frequency.

I can't see a full fledged Namor pic working well. But then again, I don't see how Thor will work out well either. It doesn't stop me from being excited for it though.

There's a small but vocal group at Uni which is pushing for Uni to go whole-hog on Namor with a big budget... depending on how Avatar performs (financially and technically) and, to a lesser extent, how Thor is visualized (if not also how it tracks or performs.

Because Namor could very easily translate into Uni's 'Avatar' - but with a known name Marvel brand (True, he's not been particularly popular these past decades, but he's known to parent/grandparents' generations and he's one of Marvel's original heroes - as old as Batman. So it's a very publicizable brand).

A significant amount of any Namor story's - especially if it comprises his origin story - screentime would be underwater, in both familiar, deep-sea wonderful (think Cameron's doc), and then in the fantasy otherworld of Atlantis. These parts would be produced 3D/IMAX 'Avatar'-style in that film's sections' first-person 'explore a sci-fi otherworld style. Sub-Mariner's best storylines involve a clash of our and Atlantis' civilizations, and '60s storys featured environmental anti-pollution themes.

It's already so close to Avatar in themes and 3D-immersive-visual-effects possibilities, but in an entirely earthly/undersea/fantasy realm instead of solely sci-fi. That's why they're hesitant to check out Branagh's approach to Thor, which will also take place in a realism/fantasy 'mix' (Earth/Aasgard).

As long as there are underwater sexy sea-women....then who cares what the story is about? Namor would be better anyways so stop worrying, Marvel kills DC in story lines any which way.

This film should start with him already captured and kept somewhere in the deepest part of the oceans by some powerful foe. Then an ocean quake hits due to man's testing of submersible atomic bombs for war, shattering his stone prison and he is released. It's been 1000 years (why not?) since he's seen the state of his oceans and he becomes furious with how empty and lifeless it is and how bad humanity has exploited his kingdom.

(*Think blue planet footage., like when all the fish are swimming in a tornado-like fashion and when they disperse, Namor is revealed at the center of the shimmering vortex...pom pom poooooom.)

He then starts lashing out on tankers and freighters and stuff in the ocean by summoning all the creatures in his kingdom to fight back. Humans cannot stop him (we can't do much in the oceans now can we?) as he thunder claps his hands near the ocean surface and causes two massive swells that barrel towards aircraft carriers that swallow the ships whole down into the oceans. Eventually, they have to call some other hero to stop him (fill in the blank, don't know who Namor is down with). Namor eventually comes to his senses thanks to this other hero (and perhaps a specific human?) and feels remorse for his actions.

"How can I make up for all the damaged I've caused them?" - (for instance)
and just then his old nemesis surfaces once again to finish Namor for good and reclaim the entire planet for his own (or something). Now he has to stop him before he REALLY does damage.

IN A NUT SHELL - Start him off as a pseudo villain and make him realize that it's not his place to punish humanity for it's actions. Add star power to the film by bringing in another hero and double the action and screen presence, then they join forces along with the humans to stop the real evil that threatens them all.

It's slow here at work, don't hate! and enjoy.

Oh, forget about doing the entire origin in the first movie. This one should hit the ground running with clues/info spread out throughout the length of the entire trilogy revealed through the events of the story. That way he'll remain mysterious and you'd learn something more about him with every flick, becoming more interesting with every installment. And in the third movie, all will be revealed, coming to a climax with action AND the mystery of who this psuedo-god Namor really is. Just give enough in the first one to make the character relatable and engaging. Plus you break the tired hero flick formula that seems to be stifling the momentum of so many origin films nowadays.

The third Terminator film is the worst? Have you not seen Terminator Salvation?

VIN DIESEL IS NAMOR!!!!

Grow the hair abit, blue contacts an change the voice a little, damn you wont even know its VIN! ; )
