Many of us expected an official announcement that Zack Snyder's Justice League had commenced production, but there's no sign of it yet. We do have this image of Jason Momoa sporting his Aquaman tattoo art, however. The former Game of Thrones actor posted the snap in an effort to raise awareness for #rezpectourwater, which aims to put a stop to the construction of the Dakota access pipeline. A cause worthy of the King of Atlantis himself. I support the #NativeYouth of #StandingRockRez. I signed the petition to stop the #DakotaAccess Pipeline, your turn click on the link in my bio. Please take a second to check out what's happening. Mahalo Ezra @panterasarah and shai. For spreading the awareness Aloha j. The first Justice League movie hits theater November 17th, 2017.
