Aquaman on the Daily Show

Aquaman made a brief appearance on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show last night as a member of the Supreme Court. After Jon listed off his slightly altered list of Supreme Court Members, an image of the Court was shown. I've included the original of the image to show you which Justice was replaced by which fictional character.

Jon Stewart: "The final arbiter of American justice is the Supreme Court. Roberts, Ginsberg, Souter, Stevens, ... Blitzen, Sleepy, Aquaman, Thomas and Scalia. These nine judges, these magnificent b*****ds, help settle intractable American disputes. They settle intractable American disputes, oftentimes only 6 to 15 years after the original incident has lost its relevance."

Supreme Court

Note that Aquaman replaces Alito. Aquaman continues to get no respect. *sigh*

You can see the full video segment on The Daily Show's site by clicking here or on the picture.

Updated 3:20pm with screen cap and transcript.

Dear Aquaman. I may need to hunt down some of these to watch. The Aquaman Shrine interviews Ben Stout about them.

Tonner Dolls. Scroll down for information about the Aquaman Doll. No, I don't want the Tonner Aquaman Doll. I wouldn't mind the Mera one, but the Aquaman looks wrong to me.

I am only linking to this article because of the name of the seal.

More DC Filmation coming out, including the Teen Titans. Gonna have to get this set.

I wish I could get this! I probably wouldn't use it either, but it looks great.

Can you identify the fish? It's pretty scary looking.

I feel sorry for these fish. Strange how people get pets, then mistreat them. Why get pets if you can't take care of them?

Pirates of Somalia seize a yacht, capturing 30 crew members and apparently holding them hostage. Of interest: "The International Maritime Bureau, which tracks piracy, said in its annual report earlier this year that global pirate attacks rose 10 percent in 2007, marking the first increase in three years."

More Animated Aquaman?

According to Comics Continuum, Cartoon Network has announced a new cartoon series called "Batman: The Brave and The Bold", set to debut later this year.
"Batman isn't going at it alone this time! From Warner Bros. Animation comes the latest interpretation of the classic Batman franchise. Our caped crusader is teamed up with heroes from across the DC Universe, delivering nonstop action and adventure with a touch of comic relief. Blue Beetle, Green Arrow, Aquaman and countless others will get a chance to uphold justice alongside Batman. Though still based in Gotham, Batman will frequently find himself outside city limits, facing situations that are both unfamiliar and exhilarating. With formidable foes around every corner, Batman will still rely on his stealth, resourcefulness and limitless supply of cool gadgets to bring justice home."
The fact that Aquaman is actually mentioned in the series description bodes well for the chances of his appearance. I'll be watching the airwaves for this one.

April 1st

At the moment I have no plans to do an April Fools joke this year. However, I urge everyone to remember that the internet, which is usually fairly unreliable, generally becomes COMPLETELY unreliable at this time of year. Any item you read on April 1st, or that is dated April 1st, check the sources. If you can't find any sources, don't believe it.

This has been a public service announcement.

As Seen on the Wiki

Dan DiDio on Aquaman:
Will we see the original Aquaman again? DiDio: "Aquaman. This year." DiDio said they want to make sure that the next time readers see Aquaman, it'll be the "best" version of the character.

Wiki

Aquaman Wiki
The Aquaman Website continues to grow into its new wikified format. If you want to participate, there are a couple of ways you can help out.

If you simply know of an Aquaman sighting, you can report it on the wiki. If the sighting is in a comic book, post about it in the Sightings Discussion Page. If you have found a reference to Aquaman elsewhere, like on TV (for example: The Simpsons or Mythbusters), you can report it on the AquaSpotting Discussion Page. And MANY MANY thanks to Vinnie for coming up with the name "AquaSpotting".

If you want to help edit, please drop me a line on the Soapbox or The Aquaman Mailing List. Editing on most pages is limited to Atlantean level users because of the extremely high probability of vandalism.

Please check out the new pages and let me know what you think. The Soapbox is there for you to stand on, or you can comment in this post. Seriously. I want some feedback. Thanks.

Administration and a Couple of Links

Aquaman Wiki
I've been setting up a framework to put all the facts and details of this page into an easier format to edit, namely a wiki format. The new section of the page is now ready to visit. The content is still very sparse, but it will build up. Editing on most pages is by invitation only, but you can leave notes on the Soapbox if you have something to say.

Some good Aquaman artwork.

I love Aquaman Shrine's Superhero Vitamin Ad.

Links and Notes

Dan DiDio is confused about Aquaman.

Here's a quick run-down: the original Aquaman, Arthur Orin Curry, is currently "dead" (in the same sense that DC heroes are often dead). Arthur Joseph Curry, who wants to be known as Joseph, is currently playing the part of Aquaman until he can find/restore the original Aquaman. IMHO, Joseph Curry isn't actually Aquaman, he's the Sword of Atlantis. So, whenever DC "brings back" Aquaman, they'll need to address both Joseph's quest and Orin's death. Any restoration that doesn't is crap.

Moving on, The Trouble With Aquaman.

Johnny Quick = Not Aquaman

More Fun 105 Aquaman Reference

This panel appears in More Fun #105, and may be the first reference to Aquaman outside of his own feature. Johnny Quick is recovering a gun that was thrown into a river because it was evidence of some murders.
