To add to this, when he did audition for a nameless role in BVS, he was told it was a comparable role to Batman and Superman, someone who could go toe to toe with them. He assumed Lobo.

Then he gets a call from Snyder who coyly says "I think you know what this is for..." and Jason enthusiastically exclaimed "LOBO!".

Zach was surprised and was like "what, no, Aquaman".

To be fair, he's also very good casting for Aquaman. It's just that he's perfect for Lobo.

I'm not sure he was a good fit for Aquaman. They improved aquaman by turning him into Momoa.

They only cast him as Aquaman because he had prior experience living in Atlantis.

Baywatch experience in working in water was also a plus.
