While those of us who religiously read comics mock Aquaman relentlessly, there are those who believe he is the epitomy of cool. Trying to shake off the corny image of the 1970's Justice League cartoon Creative Director Jens Andersen is doing his best to accentuate his awesomeness.

“Aquaman is a badass,” he insisted with a straight face. “And he’s really, really powerful. People don’t give him credit because they think he just talks to fish but he’s more than that. I think one of the coolest panels I’ve ever seen in a comic book was when [artist/'DCUO' executive creative director] Jim Lee drew a two-page panel in ‘Superman: For Tomorrow.’ It was this huge storyline that they did, and Superman goes into the ocean. And there’s Aquaman on his seahorse — yes, he’s riding a seahorse — but behind him are just legions of whales and huge squid and undersea creatures and Atlantean forces behind him. Superman literally is like, ‘Meh, I don’t want to deal with that.’ And Superman turns back without even a fight. I mean, he’s the king of the seas. I always think people don’t give him as much credit as they should.”

We wish him luck in selling that but if you want to read more about DCUO, MTV Multiplayer has more for you so check it out.
