So apparently time has no meaning and Dick Grayson is fighting Batman when he just began? I think Nightwing has this since Batman is less experienced and hasn't really found his mojo yet.
For a sequel, I'd love to see how the Masters of Evil would be taken on on film. Ultron would be epic too, but we need Hank Pym to be introduced for that to happen.
definitely the Masters, the sequel is supposed be more "personal" so says Whedon, and having the Masters know their opponents weaknesses and exploit them is something I could see happening
@cattlebattle: Yeah but did those things work? It sounds like he picked up some redemption from Smallville but most people still see him as a joke, and Superfriends did that. I do hope they will turn his public image around but I expect them to try like 3 or 4 more times and if none of them bring mass awareness to the awesomeness that is a well written Aquaman, then they'll just focus on Batman or other characters that they know the public will back.
Well, I think the Aquaman action hour just ran its course, I recall the Aquaman tv series did not test well (that could be due to crappy writing and production NOT the character)...I mean really, I think they were going to drop Atlantis and everything and make him a super powered life guard...something along those lines you can likely research it. As for the animated movies...DC canceled all their future projects that aren't Superman and Batman related
and also, I forgot to mention, Aqualman was featured prominently on Brave and Bold, which was quite a popular, well received show, its just that the campiness of the show really didn;t help him be taken seriously...
I think a Justice League film needs to happen with the original seven members and just have Aquaman be the stand out bad ass character, that should spark some interest...
@cattlebattle: I have no problems with the classics. I'm stating what I felt was a problem with it. I can easily say negative things about the new one if I felt like it.
I'm just saying...it was a cheesy cartoon from the 80's...what are you expecting Shakespeare, LOL.
Yeah, the new series does a lot of amazing things backstory wise, but I find its either all or nothing, basically what I mean is its either a slow kind of "lesson learned" episode, that I, personally can fall asleep during.....or its balls to the wall greatness, like when Lion-O relived his ancestors experience and fought Mumm-ra in an armored space battle with infinity gems...
Is the second season suppose to be second part to the first season, or a different season altogether?
DC will never put to much time into Aquaman because if he's limited to comic fans then hes limited in potential profits so they would rather put time into pumping up Batman who can bring in tons of money from non readers. Aquaman being black listed to casual consumers permanently limits how much can be done with him in comics
I nodded my head off in agreement with everything you said until there. DC has tried to reprise Aquaman and sell him as a legit character many times. I guess to try to arouse interest in the character. Around the time of Superfirends, he had the Aquaman action hour, they tried to spin off a televison show from Smallville (actually due to his popularity from his guest appearance although it was to be played by a different actor) and actually he was on the list of solo animated movies before DC decided to focus on straight Batman and Superman
It's awesome, the voice acting is good, the series has a plot this time, and Snarf doesn't talk. And Mumm-Ra is actually a threat.
blasphemy. the series had a plot, which was the exploration of third earth, Snarf talking was awesome, and Mumm-ra was a threat ......as much as any other 80's villain
I have no qualms with the new series, just saying, pleases don't insult a classic.
