Aquaman to get own TV series...
also
Sweet mother of crap! Has the whole world gone mad?
Look, THE LEAGUE LIKES AQUAMAN! Do not let it be said otherwise.
Based on the strength of the "Aquaman" episode of Smallville the WB is working on a Smallville spin-off for the King of the Seven Seas.
Aquadork is getting his own show.
The League has a theory. Here it is (hold on to your hats):
Good looking people in swimsuits sell ad-space.
Aquaman's comics do not even begin to lend themselves to being a good idea for TV. They mostly take place underwater and involve a complex monarchy system, losses of limbs and dead babies. And a sidekick named "Garth".
My guess is nobody but about a handful of comic nerds knows or cares about Aquaman's story, and we can expect for all of that to be scrapped for a beachside resort which constantly faces crooks and criminals of the supernatural variety.
Yes, Aquaman is being turned into Baywatch Nights. (And, yes, at the height of X-Files' popularity, Baywatch Nights became a show about supernatural menaces).
Oh, Leaguers...
The League supposes we will watch the pilot as we are often wrong, and we are always curious to see how mainstream supoerhero properties will be mangled in the wrong hands.
