I'm actually looking forward to the possible Aquaman TV show. There are so many DC characters with so little exposure it's good whenever one of them gets out there in the public eye. What gets me nowadays is that there can never be a straight-up superhero series. Smallville as a young Clark Kent was a great, original idea. But lest we forget it's origins are from the aborted young Bruce Wayne series. Then "Birds of Prey" came and went, set in a post-Batman Gotham City, and don't forget the abandoned Flash series that wasn't even close to the comic character at all. Now here comes a young Aquaman show.

Nothing against these new takes on various points in comic book history, but what's so wrong with shows in the same vein as "Lois and Clark," "The Flash," "Wonder Woman," and even the 60s "Batman"? I eagerly await the next superhero seires featuring the main character suiting up in full hero persona to fight for truth, justice, and whatever else they might stand for.
