Here is your new Aqualad!

How about we have a discussion that does not involve his ethnicity? I double dog dare y'all!


What's most interesting to me given his new role connecting between comics-creative and film/TV is that Geoff Johns is introducing the new Aqualad in Brightest Day #4 prior to his animated Young Justice debut.

I wonder if the development was similar to the way Barbara Gordon was introduced as the New Batgirl in the 60's.

Sorta impossible considering that his father is rumored to be Black Manta

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Awesome.

[Werewolf]

My only question is: How can he hurt Deadman who is, you know, dead?

Speaking of ethnicity, I am curious Anthony, from when I saw your picture in your COTM interview. What is your ethnic background?

Boston Brand is returned to life along with 12 other previously dead heroes and villians at the climax of Blackest Night.

He is currently the one and only "White Lantern"

Ah, okay. Is he still called Deadman even though he isn't dead anymore?

[jemboy2004]

I love it so far hope it's as good as it looks. I think if he's Black Manta's son that makes it even more interesting to me as Black Manta is one of my favorite comic characters.

[B-Lister]

C'mon, let's hear it!

Blaqualad!

Looks like he stole the whole look from Tempest , the other Tempest from the New Doom Patrol in the 80's

Italian

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

^Ah, I thought so.

[LadyZod]

He's cool looking.

And really? He's black? Big whoop. He's a new character taking the name of a fallen superhero. It's not like the original was rewritten to make him different.

[Earth 2 Chris]

They didn't retroactively make Garth black, so it's fine by me. Black Manta's son is a good angle.

His shirt looks like Smallville Aquaman's suit!
