The Colbert Report
Aquaman... or rather Aguaman... made a quick appearance on The Colbert Report last night. As a super-minority. I don't even want to try to explain.

In another story right out of an Aquaman tale, Mexico is looking for a missing island. The reason is logical, they want the territory the island would give them. But you have to wonder where the island went, if it ever existed in the first place.

Yes We Clam!
Aquaman got a mention on the Colbert Report. In his opening monologue, Stephen reports that Black Lightning is the Justice League President-elect, who beat out Aquaman after the failure of his slogan, "Yes we clam!"
The Aquaman reference is about a minute into the clip.
Remember, you can report sightings of Aquaman outside of comics on the AquaSpotting Talk Page, and see the compiled list on the AquaSpotting page. If you know of a sighting I've missed (and I'm sure there are plenty), just post it on the Talk Page.

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."
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.

On the February 4th American Gladiators, contestant Anthony mentioned before "The Wall" contest that his opponent was Spider-Man, but he didn't want to end up like Aquaman (i.e., in the water at the base of the Wall). For the record, his opponent made it up in record time but Anthony didn't do too shabby either, making it up without falling.

The Simpsons
A pile of Aquaman references from The Simpsons for you...
First up is The Simpsons Comic #134, in which Homer gets into an altercation with a killer whale and...
"Think Homer, think! What would Aquaman do? Fish! I command you to attack the killer whale! Attack, I say!"
D'oh.
Next is the annual Bart Simpsons Treehouse of Horror comic, which had not one, but TWO Aquaman references. First up, from a tale about a mutant fish:
And next up is one of three covers that Bart looks at in the comic shop when he desperately needs to use the restroom:
But the real fun came in the most recently aired Simpsons episode, "Husbands and Knives", which featured comic book writers Alan Moore, Art Spiegelman and Daniel Clowes.
It also featured Bart looking at the Death of Superman:
And the Death of Aquaman:
Note that the two covers are identical except for Superman and Aquaman trading places, logos, and the super-pets. heh. Jack Pendarvis gets a shell for spotting and reporting this one before the show even aired in my area.

Aquaman – cause he should be the greatest eye-candy, all-ages global adventure comic in the world, and well, have you seen Aquaman lately? I think this book has the potential to be incredible and like nothing else on the stands. It could really take advantage of all the breakthroughs in production that comics have undergone in the last 25 years and it could serve as an ambassador to capture new, young readers...Golfer Woody Austin makes the most of his new nickname, gotten when he fell face-first into a water hazard.

In the episode of Smallville "Labyrinth", Clark is in an asylum. Eventually, he learns that everyone he thinks he knows is related to the asylum somehow, including a fellow inmate who turns out to be named Arthur Curry. Blink and you miss it, but it's an Aquaman sighting in an otherwise aqua-less episode of Smallville.
Speaking of Smallville, iFMagazine has an interview with Alfred Gough which talks a bit about the ill-fated Aquaman pilot:
Dennis Doucette, who is a Prince of Weekiwachee, as seen in these images, has a couple of references for us.
First up is an episode of X-play on G4 TV. Here's a summary of the episode:
The next one is a little more lighthearted... In the Jeopardy Teen Tournament on February 12th 2007, Aquaman was a clue. It was in the Jeopardy round, in the "Stamps" category. The first contestant to ring in got it wrong ("Who is Neptune?") but the second to ring in was correct.
Go check out The Aquaman Shrine for yet another unique collectible, this time an empty but sealed soda pop can featuring Aquaman artwork and lettering in Arabic script. Hey Rob, put up some better pictures and see if someone can translate that sucker! And if anyone else runs across a second example of this, please send it my way. I'd like one of these.
Speaking of Smallville, iFMagazine has an interview with Alfred Gough which talks a bit about the ill-fated Aquaman pilot:
There were a lot of different stories to tell on land and sea. The mythology, Atlantis, would have been a small portion of it. Every fourth episode would have dealt with some of that mythology. I think it could have been very interesting that we’re destroying their society and Atlantis has sort of turned into eco-terrorists – sending back people they’ve sort of reprogrammed as suicide bombers. There was an environmental angle to it that was very interesting and you could talk about politics in the way that the best of sci-fi can talk about it -- the way that BATTLESTAR GALACTICA does. It was definitely a cool show, we had a lot of good ideas for, the cast was certainly great. It was probably a bigger, epic show than SMALLVILLE.Electra Woman and DynaGirl 2001 pilot (YouTube). Aquaman cameos at about 2:39 in, "They're serving halibut at the luncheon!". Thanks to Wil Radcliffe for the report.
Dennis Doucette, who is a Prince of Weekiwachee, as seen in these images, has a couple of references for us.

Memory Card: A psychotic serial killer who would conceal his identity by speaking through a modified R.O.B. robot. During the 2006 Halloween episode, Memory Card kidnapped a number of G4TV hosts and put them through a series of tortuous deaths. At the end of the episode, it was revealed that the person behind the "Memory Card" persona was actually Aquaman, who wanted revenge on X-Play for naming his Battle for Atlantis the worst game of all time.Um. Ok.

Aquaman Sightings
Although I knew about both these sightings, Hugo reminded me to post about them (Thanks Hugo, another shell for you!).
First up, in DC 52 Week 35, Lorena appears as a part of the Teen Titans, helping out in the hospital after the Fall. She's with Plastic Man's son, Offspring.
More recently, in DC 52 Week 39, Aquaman himself apparently appears. I say apparently because it's never specifically stated that he's Aquaman, as whatever has happened to Aquaman is already well on its way to finishing. If it is Aquaman, the transformation to half-magic water isn't done, as you can see his full face.

Aquaman Reference - Mythbusters
Sighting reported by Aqua-Researcher Vincent P Bartilucci, who earns another shell for his collection. Sighting confirmed by Laura "Tegan" Gjovaag.
The January 24th 2007 episode of Mythbusters - "Underwater Car", featured two myths. The first regarded water differential when attempting to escape from a car that has gone into water, the second was about paper folding.
In the last segment of the show, going to commercial break before Adam's last two tests in the car, the narrator asks, "Next, has Adam learned how to channel Aquaman?"
For reference, if your car does somehow end up in the water and you have no tool with which to break the window, you have two opportunities to escape with your life. The first opportunity is to open the door right after your car hits the water, before the pressure of the water becomes too great. If you miss that opportunity, you need to remain calm, wait until the cabin of the car fills with water, hold your breath (channel Aquaman) and then open the door once the pressure has equalized. In the last segment of the show, after the Aquaman reference, Adam demonstrated the latter technique and did not need emergency help to escape the car.

Vincent P Bartilucci reports an Aquaman mention. UPDATE: I confirmed the mention. It's in the first few moments of the episode Lost In Parking Space, Part One in which Clara is walking down the hall checking out the evil of her housemates. First she spots Xander using stem cells to cure leukemia, then she comes across Captain Hero with a woman in bed saying "Oh, come on baby, that fin rot I caught from Aquaman cleared up a long time ago!" to which Clara screams, "Ah, rampant lying!" as she points at Captain Hero. He races to the door, showing off his right arm, which is now a fin, with rotted bits. A porpoise laughs as he slams the door.

Everyday Heroes
A New York photographer, Dulce Pinzón, did an exhibition of the "real superheroes" in New York, asking the people who are hard everyday workers to dress up as heroes for the photo shoot. The heroes involved included Aquaman:
Aquaman in Indonesia?
If any Aquaman fan can translate this article for me, I'd appreciate it. The only automatic translator I found that would go from Indonesian to English was... confusing.

JLA Classified #26
Nice use of the Waterbearer Aquaman, presumably this fits in just after Veitch's run and before he changed back into his old costume. He was at loose ends during that time, so JLA activity is probably a good fit. (SPOILER)I think his comments on not messing with nations fit Arthur as King, as he'd hardly want the Justice League to interfere with Atlantis when he ruled it.(END SPOILER) A nice little set-up story. Go read it.

Inheritance
Galley Cat asked what was up.
So I shot off an email to Grayson and asked her how this all happened. She reminded me that as one of the comic book industry's few openly bisexual women creators, she's enjoyed working queer material into her stories throughout her career. "That said, I am also a contract worker when at DC crafting stories with licensed characters," she explained, "and my job at that time is to stick pretty close to previously established interpretations and guidelines, which is a necessary and satisfying aspect of this kind of work. In the licensed publication novels, we have more room, permission, and need than we usually do in the comics to explore character back story and culture." Despite that additional freedom, she's careful to point out that Inheritance is about father/son dynamics, not gay culture. "But are the characters in Inheritance aware of gay culture?" she asks rhetorically. "Sure. And they get to joke about it, just like I, as the narrator, get to joke about it. I'm joking with the reader, the characters are joking with each other."I may not really enjoy it, but I do plan on getting a copy. If I do, I'll be sure to review it here for Aquaman fans.

CBS Blog Report on Aquaman
CBS's Blogophile tackles the question of Aquaman, with quotes from various bloggers about the life imitating art aspect of the possible Aquaman movie.
I'd rather everyone picked up the comic book to check it out, personally.
And, yes, the Aquaman pilot is still the top video download on iTunes, with over 550 reviews now, still running an average of four stars. I think the show would've hit its intended audience perfectly.

Aquaman Stays On Top
The Aquaman Pilot continues to be the top video download on iTunes. I'm wondering if the WB has made back the money spent on the pilot from the downloads? Since we don't have any actual numbers, we'll probably never know.
In other news, you can buy the Superhero Stamps, which feature two Aquaman stamps, at The Postal Store. You can also buy a book of postcards that features all twenty stamps as postage-paid postcards with a large version of the art on the front and a smaller stamp version of the art on the back.
When I bought my (first) set of stamps at the local post office, the clerk noted the words "Chapter One" at the bottom of the page and speculated that there might be more superhero stamps coming in future years.

Aquaman PJs in Superman Returns
I have not seen Superman Returns yet. I intend to see it once it's out on DVD. I hate going to movie theaters, so I save that "experience" for movies on my must-see-immediately list.
However, the news that there was an Aquaman reference in Superman Returns meant that it went a little higher on my list of DVDs to check out. Amusingly, someone thought it was important that I see at least images of the PJs even sooner than I see the movie itself. Many thanks to Steve for these images (and no, I'm not going to ask where he got them).
Out of curiousity, for those who have actually seen the film, is this the best that the PJs showed up? I'm sure it was better on the big screen, but did the kid sit up or something so we got a better look at the design?

Peter David Wants Aquaman PJs
In a spoiler-filled post about Superman Returns, Peter David admits that he "loved the Aquaman pajamas, which had nothing to do with anything, but I want me a pair."
I haven't seen the movie yet, and probably won't for awhile. I'm also curious to see if it can beat Aquaman's fictional opening.

Aqua-Character Sighting...
In Teen Titans #34, the first One Year Later issue, we get a single panel of Lorena as Aquagirl, arguing with Hawk. It's impossible to say when this panel took place, but it must have happened sometime in the missing year.
Hawk: "...you c'n swim under-water like Aquaman but you can't talk to fish? We need kids with real power like Zatara and Miss Martian!"If you want to read the rest, go buy the book.
Lorena: "Real power? What's yours birdie? I mean besides whining?"
Hawk: "Birdies eat fish. You know that, right?"

Aquaman in 52
Yes, Aquaman does appear in the first issue of 52. The appearance, however, is basically a grade 5 cameo. In one scene he appears with Mera. As soon as I have a chance to fire up my scanner I'll post the tiny appearance here. Whatever happened to Orin happened after the first week of the year as described in 52.
In other news, I've been told by a semi-reliable source that Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #42 was always going to ship on May 17th, but internal confusion set the Diamond shipping date earlier. As evidence, I was pointed to the shipping date for issue #43, which is also late in the month (although I notice there are two different shipping dates listed in Previews for issue #43). According to this source, DC had plans all along to change the shipping week of Aquaman. While this doesn't quite jibe with other sources, it seems plausible enough to pass along.

Status
Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis ended with issue #57. Joseph Curry is currently attempting to live up to Arthur Orin Curry's legacy. He has stated that he intends to find and restore the original Aquaman, or die trying.
The character of Aquaman is in limbo at DC at the moment, available for use in other projects. The editors have not decided when or how to bring him back. Rest assured, however, that he will appear with some frequency regardless of whether or not he gets his own book.
