In my opinion, the only reason Aquaman is such a widely known character is because of the fact that people don't like him. The reason that people USED to like him was because they didn't have much of an option. The fewer options you have, the bigger the names are. Look at TV. When people used to have only three channels to pick from, everybody knew the people on TV. Now we have hundreds of channels and there are entire stations that most people haven't heard of. Back in the day, Aquaman was a fresh, exciting concept, and even if it wasn't the best, it was one of the few alternatives they had. If Aquaman was released nowadays for the first time, nobody would pay attention. A movie about him would - sadly for the character - tank. Some people would see it, but it would immediately be bombarded by jokes (and rightfully so) and it would quickly become a target.
Aquaman is very bland & uninteresting so making a movie about him would surely be a disaster.

Namor will be getting his own movie soon. Aquaman is completely uninteresting & unneccessary.

The part that I don't understand is how some people can be like "Namor is alright, but Aquaman is so lame". Then they follow it up with "All he does is talk to fish". This obviously shows the person is ignorant of the character and his abilities. I could easily mock Namor by saying "Namor has f***** feathery wings on his ankles and wears a f****** speedo. He's so lame." but that doesn't do the character justice. I'd wager that 85% of the people that mock Aquaman have never read an Aquaman comic their life.
Well...if they did a movie where he teamed up with Jar Jar Binks, that would be perfect! I'd pay money to see those two kick fish together!
