    >this scene seems really contrived to me.

    I can see it. It's 'cos Aquaman summons a pack of Megalodons as his retort to the superhero ****ing contest, and any ONE of the heroes present could easily deal with a pack of Megalodons.... so he kinda backhandedly supports their argument.

      No that's not it although I see your point. It's just I've seen this sort of thing a lot before and it's not new.

      It's nice that DC has a rouster of artists and writers taking Aquaman seriously, I totally love that. It just seems that they're all taking the same approach, "let's call him lame and then have him be a total badass" Seriously, everytime I see him he's stabbing things with his trident.

        Its the same writer applying the schtick to him in both Aquaman and JLA. So not really a whole roster of writers doing it.

                  He's been carrying that trident in almost every toyline since 1966. It really is about time he started using it for something!

                      what's with the chain on the trident, is it like the pens at the bank and he's worried about Blue Devil swiping it?

                        Blue Devil is cool, it's that damn Golden Pharaoh. He's always wanting to accessorize.

                              I agree that the trident's currently de riguer. Honestly, visually you can show case him using the trident or the sea-life. It's a artistic crutch, but:

                              Who complains about GL using his ring, Superman his heat vision, WW her bracelets/lasso, Batman his batarang? Or Spidey webs, Thor's Mjolnir?

                              Just sayin.

                                I never associated Aquaman with the trident but at least it is better than the rings coming out of his forehead or the seahorse.
