Aquaman director James Wan recently claimed that it was the crazy underwater world inhabited by Arthur Curry that convinced him to pick this DCEU project over The Flash, but it seems that even the Conjuring helmsman had his limits on just how out-there he was willing to go in the film’s subaquatic set pieces.
