Smart phone manufacturers should'a used Aquaman to sell their wares, "Put the power of the web in the palm of your hand."

To the whale question, I would hazard a guess at the answer being "because they live in the sea".

Sounds waves propogate through water just like they do through air. He's probably just got super-vocal-chords. And lungs full of water, but that was a given.

Are they gonna make a aqua man movie now?

Other than Justice League, no idea.

How The Aquaman Movie Will Tackle Characters Talking Underwater, According To James Wan

During an interview with IGN, James Wan admitted that because Arthur Curry and the other characters will have waters in their lungs, there won't be an air bubble for them to talk normally. Since speech bubbles aren't an option, Wan aims to work around this by adding a "sonic" quality to the underwater dialogue in Aquaman. He explained: I love the idea of underwater speaking but with a real sort of sonic, aquatic quality to it. So there's this sort of aquatic, almost sonar/whale thing. Even though it's in a human language, there's this slight sort of underlay to it, this ping to it, which I think would be interesting for us to design from a sound design perspective. Yeah, it will be fun. Also, Zack has some ideas that he'll be doing in Justice League.

Here's an interesting thread too from May 2015
Marvel/DC] How can characters like Namor, Mera and Aquaman speak underwater if sound doesn't travel well in water like in air?

I would watch the fuck out of an Etrigan trilogy.

I'm just glad they haven't (yet) made a live-action version of Neil Gaiman's Sandman that completely fvcks up the storyline.
