  • But some defended it by comparing it to another panned superhero movie poster for "Spider-Man: Homecoming."

 

Images and details have slowly been rolling out for the upcoming "Aquaman" movie directed by James Wan that spins out of "Justice League." Earlier this week, the first official poster was released and it's less than amazing.

The poster features the title character, played by Jason Momoa, perched on a rock in the ocean with an army of sea creatures behind him, and the tagline reads: "Home is calling."

Aquaman has always been an easy target and only hardcore comic book readers truly appreciate him. Now that Momoa and Wan are attached to his solo movie, though, hopefully he gets the respect he deserves.

That respect will just have to wait a little longer.

Below are some examples of people tearing into the poster online by comparing it to the Pixar classic, pointing out stock images used, and poking fun at the tagline:

"Aquaman" comes to theaters December 21.
