Has anyone noticed how all the colors seem to be darkened in Zack Snyder's DCEU films? The trend continues with the first photo of Amber Heard in "Justice League" (via Twitter). Some fans believe that Mera's new look is too dark compared to her appearance in the comic books.

There are speculations that Amber Heard will be getting into the action along with Jason Momoa when Steppenwolf finally appears in "Justice League". After all, Mera is a skilled warrior in the comic books and her superpowers would definitely be useful in the fight against the villain. It is possible that DCEU's Queen of Atlantis will join Aquaman in the battle to save Earth. But will the Zack Snyder film also touch on Mera's comic book origins?
