for David Milton Hyde Jr. in Aquaman: Before the Fall
Suggested by justincasts
This film should release after JL Drowned Earth but serves as a prequel to it. It shows how Aquaman and Atlantis angered and awoke the ancient sea gods to begin with, and how Poseidon really died. This is sort of an origin film for the bitter Aquaman-Black Manta conflict. And it's a movie really about BM, who is the son of a man who used to work for Lionel Luthor building weapons. But Lionel cut him out of the company and stuffed him away. The JL fight with Amazo reaches the ocean and Atlantis but Aquaman, the king, does not want to intervene. He causes a flood in the city to shield his borders from the surface world conflict. This unintentionally kills the man, and his son grieves, eventually learning that the flood was not natural but Aquaman. David creates a powerful supersuit and calls himself Black Manta and vows revenge, he learns of the ancient sea demons who tell him how to kill Poseidon and steal his Trident to take over Atlantis, which he does. This causes the conflict in JL 3, which ends with Arthur taking back the throne and imprisoning David. This film ends, however, with David taking the throne of Atlantis and expelling Aquaman-- which is how he ends up with the JL on the surface.
