Shows that We're Glad Never Made It #3: Aquaman



In celebration loss of Smallville, I thought I would post another disaster interesting look into another "teen audience" reboot show of a famous DC Superhero: Aquaman.

Written by Smallville creators Miles Gough and Alfred Millar, for The WB's 2006 fall TV season, the show starred Justin Hartley, who would go on to play Green Arrow in Smallville. Hartley starred as Arthur A.C. Curry, working with Ving Rhames and Lou Diamond Phillips in their fight to save the oceans. Had the series been picked up, we would have seen A.C. take on such Captain Planet-y threats as ocean polluters and evil oil companies. Sounds entertaining! Kill me now.

The pilot never aired, but if you REALLY want to check it out, it did get its day on iTunes in July 2006, where it became the most downloaded TV show at the time. But you really must hate yourself and Aquaman. Poor guy, can't ANYONE treat him right?
