Other media

Aquaman appears in several animated series.

In Superman, the Angel of Métropolis:

On Earth, the history of Aquaman seemed to raise of the legend, until the day when this one decides to meet the inhabitants of surface to mention the problem of the pollution of the oceans. Unfortunately, king d' Atlantis is captured by Lex Luthor before it has time to reveal his existence with humanity. The business man is indeed well decided not to let the Telamon waste his nuclear tests in the middle of the ocean to him.

Whereas Aquaman is retained prisoner, the marine animals break out against the human ones. Attracted by the events, Lois Lane then discovers the legendary hero with whom it flees. Finally, this last regains its kingdom and, by deploying its armies, makes a terrible show of force with Luthor and its men. Only the intervention of Superman will prevent Aquaman from declaring the war with all humanity.

In the League of the Dispensers of justice:

Furious to see the marine ecosystem devastated by the intrigues of the men, Aquaman runs an American submarine to impress the governments. Superman and the League manages to convince the monarch of Atlantis to plead his cause with the the United Nations, but, unfortunately, the hero is seriously wounded by the killer Deadshot acting for the account of a Telamon.

Of return to Atlantis, Aquaman is stopped by his/her Orm brother, decided well to reverse its elder and to attack the human ones. The assassination which it financed having failed, Orm made connect his/her brother and his heir close to an underwater volcano in eruption. Incompetent to get clear, Aquaman, to save the life of his son, slice the left hand then! Income in its city, it is made graft a harpoon in the place and share in war against his/her brother. The Sovereign of the Seas and the League face the army of Atlantis together and beat Orm. The watery world and that of surface saved, Aquaman is then ready to continue the dialog with people of surface.

Temporarily, Aquaman will be brought later to measure itself again with the League when it is linked with the Dr. Fate and the zombie Grundy to destroy a threat of another dimension.

In the New League of the Dispensers of justice:

The bonds of Aquaman with the League will remain always rather vague. When Superman joins together around fifty of new hero with following day of invasion of Thanagar, King of Atlantis answers present (Initiation) and fights with sides of Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman (the Ultimatum), but, some episodes later (Death which goes), it gives the impression to slightly make “band with share” at the sides of the Dr. Fate, Amazo and Hawkgirl (then “banished” of the League).

Lastly, Aquaman does not appear at the time of the fourth and fifth seasons of the League of the Dispensers of justice. Indeed, a decision absurdity of the leaders of Warner and cd. had declared that it was preferable that the character is used any more in the series animated in order to keep in it exclusiveness for drama series in the same line only Smallville. The character any more but is not then evoked in the episode the Legend of the invincible Prince where Wonder Woman, during a diplomatic meeting where it represents Themyscira, evokes the fact that Aquaman and Atlantis were withdrawn from the negotiations with surface within sight of the bad faith of many countries on the state of pollution of planet and the oceans.

In Aquaman, the series:

Only the pilot of the series is diffused on Internet. If the episode receives good criticisms, the Aquaman series will be creates then diffused, if not the project will fall to water. This new series recalls the life of Aquaman. It is Justin Hartley (the green archer, Green Arrow, in Smallville) which incarnates this superman, prince d' Atlantis.

Character of the character analyzes

During the first appearance of Aquaman (Superman: A hero come besides), Bruce Timm and his team (in love with Old Silver) preferred to take again the traditional look of the hero all while equipping it with the personality coleric and bubbling of bearded Aquaman.

In the League of the Dispensers of justice, the creators finally found that the side “Conan of the seas” was appropriate very well to the character that they wanted even more wild, independent, quarrelsome and isolationist.

In the comics, Aquaman belongs to the JLA, but the series Justice League preferred évincé with the profit of Hawkgirl, a second female character. Aquaman then became a hero “guest-star” who will never form fully part of the League. It seems besides sometimes quasi an adversary in some of episodes (the Threat of the Abyssals zone, the Terror of beyond). Actually, the character is especially defined like king d' Atlantis, above all concerned with his people and his family - a very important aspect of the character - more than by a super-heroic career.

With final, the character is very successful and confusion on its role is learnedly maintained. Not only one saw it facing various members of the League on several occasions, but one also saw it letting die the brother who had betrayed it or sacrifice his own hand to save his son. Lastly, it will be noted that it also joined the zombie Solomon Grundy and to Doctor Fate in the episode the Terror of beyond, a wink with the Marvel comics in the form of parallelism: the Doctor Strange (Doctor Fate), Hulk (Grundy) and Namor (the equivalent of Aquaman) being founders of the group of the Defenders.

Notes on the design

More than no other, one will note, at Aquaman, the considerable change of design between the two series. In Superman, its appearance is copied on the traditional comics: dimension orange meshs, green pants and glabrous face. In the League of the Dispensers of justice, his design corresponds to the modern comics but the barbarian side is still reinforced: Aquaman carries from now on the long hair and the beard, it is barechested with a harpoon in the place of the left front armlever.
