![]() ![]() So yeah: Post-Crisis Krypto was a rescue puppy owned by a boxer who ran a dive bar.Įlle: A dive bar that has became a diner for this show because it's aimed at kids. He was a former heavyweight boxing champion who considered Superman to be his "fav'rit," because people talk weird in comic books, and admired him enough to name his dog Krypto. I can't imagine it was cost-effective to build a robotic Bibbo suit just so the Kroloteans could take over a diner, but I liked that the real Bibbo showed up and got a good punch in.Ĭhris: For those of you who aren't familiar with Bibbo, he was a supporting character in the first Dan Jurgens era of Superman, back in the mid '90s. ![]() Suffice to say that I've seen enough superhero stories that while I haven't read ahead, I definitely suspect that Aqualad is going to end up being a double (triple?) agent.Įlle: In the interest of not giving anything away, I'm choosing this moment to change the subject. Nobody likes Garth.Ĭhris: Listen, if we're going to get into a discussion of which DC Comics Atlanteans people don't care about, we're going to be here all day. They should have retroactively killed off Garth instead. Historically he uses that big helmet to breathe underwater, so it's weird that Kaldur also has one, despite having gills. I don't remember if we ever learn the full story of his parentage, I assume his mother is Atlantean since Black Manta is human. But as far as Black Manta being Aqualad's dad (Aquadad) goes, is this a thing Kaldur didn't know before?Įlle: He is specifically angry at Aquaman for not telling him, so it seems he learned pretty recently. Otherwise it's just not going to work out well for anybody.Ĭhris: Also, I do think it's a little weird that while Tula appeared back in the first season, we are literally introduced to the concept of "Aquagirl" with Aquagirl being dead as an underwater doornail. It's not like he suddenly woke up evil, he just decided that Aquaman (and the Team) were the bad guys in his story.Įlle: I may be an Aquaman defender in most situations, but if your sidekick doesn't know that he's the son of your archenemy, you should probably tell him before his father gets a chance to. And it only gets more dramatic from here.Ĭhris: I think it's fair to say that you are a little more predisposed to be super into a story involving Tula and Black Manta than I am, but it is nice to see another good use of the five-year time jump, and Aqualad's "betrayal" is actually handled pretty well. And now here we are, finally seeing his new black armor, fascist haircut, and newly established relationship with his formerly estranged father, Black Manta. With them in charge, I give this planet about three weeks.Įlle Collins: I'm pretty sure that when he was being kind of boring in Season 1, I said at some point that Aqualad gets a lot more interesting Season 2. ![]() With that revealed and Black Manta officially welcomed into Vandal Savage's team of baddies, the Justice League heads to Oa to answer for their crimes, leaving Earth in the care of Captain Atom and a bunch of teenagers. ![]()
