    I’m still skeptical of Aquaman NOT being big and dumb or cheesy to some degree. Even the Justice League cartoon that scraped up all lame odds and ends of old DC heroes didn’t really have much idea of what to do with Aquaman. I don’t even have a clear idea of what his powers are supposed to be besides talking to dolphins or some crap. Did they make him a waterbender in this one? That seems to be about the only non-lame direction to take it in.

      That’s where you lost me. Or have a poor memory of the Justice League animated series. They knew exactly what to do with Aquaman: he was the noble yet rough-edged ruler of Atlantis, at first annoyed with the surface world, and then proving truly heroic in order to save his son, save Atlantis, and ultimately help join the League to save the surface world. This series was literally the sole reason I appreciated Aquaman in the first place.

        Well, it was a few years ago that I watched it, so you can tell what kind of lasting impact it had on me. I remember some about Atlantis, I can’t remember Aquaman doing much besides punching things.

What do you think?
