Aquaman and blank manta got beef
I dont even fuckin know who Black Manta is up until he is a dlc in Injustice 2. I am an idiot
Manta's name wasnt changed to Devil ray on JLU because of copy right issues, it was because a live action show of aquaman was in development at the time and WB didnt want two shows running the same characters, as they thought this would cause confusion. As it so happened the show didnt come to pass. The same problem occurred with batman related characters because at the time the Chris Nolan's batman films were also on, so characters like scarecrow, two-face etc never made it on JLU animated series
Black Manta was the only dude aside from Batman who I really find Badass.
Bruh say "Aquaman" correctly. Who's fookin' man's is this?
black manta should be in the marvel universe lets see him fight black panther for wakanda
The injustice story is better
Boi the word aqua isn't that hard to pronounce. Lol
Amazing to see my faviote villain
Mind blown
Akwaman
Black Manta: The worlds most dangerous BLM activist
Black Ocean Man is better than white Ocean Man
who the fuck calls him Ackwaman D:
Please do a Video on Deadman, D.C.'s Frankenstien or Griftor
Autism…
I can see why they don't use this guy anymore… It's sad, he's a good bad guy.
"Ahkwaman"
I saw lex luthor turn into Black manta
he couldnt just find another spot in the ocean…..
Ackwaman? WHAT?!?!?!
Aquaman killed Black Manta's Father in new52 version. thats why he became enemy to Aquaman. Aquaman is not that good as people think.
Aquaman killed his father
Ahkwalahd
He is the best characters that I like to play with on Injustice 2.
0:12 – "with the batwing shape of a manta ray"… What? lol
"His name was changed"….. due to copyright issues…. ok…
Sorry lads not a huge fan of black manta and aqualad's boring archenemy-archnemsis and his other enemies that are boring not fun or interesting
"Not driven by Racism,Profit or Prejudice"
…but I guess genocide and kidnapping THEN killing the child of a people that literally did nothing to you is just fine..
This is the problem with people like this and SJWs in general, their pseudo morals will always be their downfall,forever doomed to fail by their own lack of commonsense and one-sided desires as well as a failure to understand and work past their own Bias..
I am sure if D.C. were to include him in the Aquaman movie they'd either not touch the civil rights subject, or they'd make Black Manta some white guy hater. D.C.(or marvel) Would never have the guts to touch a really controversial plot.
Ah-kwuh
Awkward men !
I wanna know how the fuck there was copyright concerns for putting a DC character into a DC movie like wtf
Are you for real? This man is evil becuz they ran tests on him in Arkham asylum becuz he had autism?!
This is why they had to give Aquaman a make-over for Justice League, it's difficult to market a hero whose main antagonist is an autistic scuba diver.
Am I the only one who goes FUCKING INSANE LISTENING TO HIM SAY AQUA AND AQUAMAN AQUALAD AND AQUASON WRONG LIKE OMFG LMFAO!!!!
Who tf is “AAAckuaman (his pronunciation pisses me off)
This mans gonna get some hate for saying “cure autism”
Manta is easily the best villain for Aquaman. I don't think there is a more perfect arch enemy for ANY hero.
Wasn’t Black Manta the father of Aqualad and Aquaman killed him?
Manta
“Akkkkkwa man”
WE WUZ ALTANTIANS 'N SHIET!
Now he is one of the main antagonists for the Aquaman movie. With Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the deadly Black Manta
Haha can aquaman cure my autism next please
Forgot his appearances in Challenge of the Super friends ✌
aqua is not akwa
you didn't tell us his real name
Blackmanta is the best villain
I always assumed he was a treasure hunter… ah well. I think it would be cool though… like he tries to loot treasure from Atlantis and stuff… wish I had a suit like this for real… imagine all the shipwrecks you could go too… the gold… damn…
