It looks like Mera is telling the guards to stand down. Acumen probably tries to steal the mother box or trident and she recognizes who he is.
Still don't see why she cannot be on the actual team? It'd be awesome. Well hopefully they at least give her something of note to do in this film.
I don't really care about the history of the comics in this case. This isn't the comics, it's it's own thing, Superman wasn't already DEAD when the JL was first founded in the comics, nor had he already fought Doomsday either. Batman wasn't a 40-something psychotic murderer. Cyborg wasn't a founding member, etc.
She's in the movie already, they chose to put her there. The whole "there can only be ONE woman on the team at the beginning" is an annoying cliché that needs to STOP already, and she's a cool character. So again, why not put her on the team, what's the harm?
And yes, the fact that she's never been a member of the JL even in the comics, given some of the other characters that they've managed to cram onto the team over the years, yet is also ridiculous.
Two reasons why I am against it:
First, Mera doesn't bring anything interesting to the team, as she comes from the same background as Arthur, while characters like Vixen or Hawkgirl would certainly be much more unique and interesting in this regard.
Second, if they are to keep her personality from the comics (which I hope they will), she isn't someone who would care about being in JL. Besides, I'd rather have her be an important figure in Atlantis, solely tied to Aquaman mythos, than force her into the League just because.
That's actually a very good question.
I would lean towards JL if only cuz I am betting there would be more CGI/wire work type stuff in AM, which hopefully takes place in an under water environment. I can see Mera in JL if she has any action scenes being on land. That said it is a recent insta so she would be prepping for AM.
The question is... For AM solo or from training for JL?
Good thinking about wire work. Besides, I think there were either some pictures or gifs from her JL training quite a while ago, where she wore the exact same clothes... I'll try to look it up.
