Similarly, the Dead King's Trident allowed the wielder control over the Trench in the comics, whereas in the sequel, Black Manta instead appears to have control over the inhabitants of Necrus - based on the comic kingdom's name being the working title of the movie, and the sinister beings whose eyes also glow green in the trailer. However, given Arthur Curry's own DCEU trident takes some elements of the Dead King's Trident, it would make sense to instead provide the weapon another name, in order to prevent any confusion that would otherwise occur. This weapon was also stolen by Black Manta in the comics, and allowed its user the ability to create earthquakes, which could viably threaten a global meltdown depending on what scale they are. ![]() The discussion of the Black Trident using dark magic and threatening a global meltdown strongly suggests the DCEU is using some of the major beats of the Dead King's Trident from the comics. The shot of Hyde's eyes glowing green with the Trident support this, as the information given about the artifact suggests its dark powers may further corrupt those exposed to it, meaning the DC villain may be just as much at risk from the tool as those he faces down with it. This suggests that while Black Manta is the movie's main antagonist, the bigger threat may indeed be the Black Trident itself. ![]() Based on the fact Atlan is dead by the time Aquaman 2 begins - but is shown fighting these creatures - it seems this flashback sheds light on what happened to the kingdom, suggesting that they attempted to attack the rest of Atlantis, and as such were defeated or sealed away as a result alongside the weapon.īlack Manta now wielding the Black Trident appears to have reawoken the dark magic that resides within it, which Atlanna describes as " spreading", stating that David Hyde " must be stopped, or a global meltdown is imminent". During this period of DC history, there was another, seventh kingdom of Atlantis, which appears to have been lost because of the trident's dark magic abilities, based on the necrotic looking enemies that Atlantis' protectors are shown fighting. In the new Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom trailer, it's explained that the Black Trident is a relic from long before in King Atlan's reign.
