I asked myself, What they really have to do to return the respect and dignity of Aquaman in other media?...

All that rite there.

Perhaps an animated movie in the same style as Batman Year One, or at least a DC animated short where he creatively uses his powers to whoop on any baddies who takes his abilities lightly when he shows up. Then he can be all like "You want some of this to" to the onlookers who were talking smack about others getting a beat down by Aquaman. That'll start showing how boss he is.

@Vance Astro: If it's a DC animated movie, I know quite a few who will buy it, or at least watch just because of that (and these are folks who wont even pick up a comic) and from that all he will need is for one of those people to make a vid featuring his awesomeness and post it to the tube of you and viral Aquaman vid.

Meh... you never know.

But alas, I'm aware that this would work a bit easier with my gen and under bc I'm in the gen that thought John Stewart was the first Green Lantern (then Aquaman having a hook...). I had all my knowledge of Justice Friends Aquaman from Adult Swim skits in passing. I'd have to imagine its a whole nother mindset of uprooting if you grew up with Aquaman being the haha dude with fish powers.

Luckily I wasn't to far gone before seeing just how swanky his abilities are.

He needs to ride on little Pony :P

Maybe, they are more respected that he I can say (Yes they laugh at Aquaman but see a pony and say D'aaaw, even the boys) or at least in my classroom

1: Change his image, the beard was something cool he used to have

2: Show his other powers more.

3: A new kick ass costume

QFT!

@DeathpooltheT1000: That first costume variant is wicked!

@DeathpooltheT1000: The first is Ok but the second is too fluffy

That wouldn't hurt.

He is on his way. The comic is great and word might spread. Then eventually an adaptation of him will come that the general public will see and change their minds.

@RedOwl_1: @Deranged Midget: Actually i made a thread about a Aquaman redesign, also the crustation armous look badass, they need to misx that one with the Young Justice one, make it less orange and make it more agressive.

If he look badass people willl notice he is a badass.

Also the armour parts of the first redesign looks more agrssive, that is what Aquaman needs.

For people to stop making fun of him..for good

1. Superfriends was fine. That's where I first learned about Aquaman and first learned to like him. My reaction to that cartoon was decidedly different from the one I keep hearing about all over the net. Years after the cartoon was over, when I first got wind of the meme about him being a useless hero, I was actually surprised. It never occurred to me that he was useless.

2. I can't imagine why the opinions of non-comics readers about comic book characters would be important to me. As far as I am concerned, if they choose to swim in a sea of ignorance, that's their business, not mine. If they ask for a life preserver and laugh at the one I throw them, I say let 'em drown.

Almost agreed,we need of non-comic readers,before being comic fans,we were like them, had no knowledge about any of this. What I mean is everyone has to know the character in some way so that he receives more attention and popularity,see for example now with the Avengers, he was popular but not as much as JLA,the film only brought more exposure to them, which attracted more people to their comics and many of these people were non-comic readers. We need them for the comics in general gain more attention and respect,is our duty to teach them.

Make more use of his other powers. Such as his super strength and skills with his trident. The 'water hand' power was badass to, should have kept that.

Because he used to talk to fish.

Just got bada$$ written all over it.

But seriously, Aquaman is finally living up to his potential in the New 52 so I say give him a solid movie.
