Looks like the WB has tapped a relative unknown to play Aquaman in the upcoming TV series. So sure, you can say, “Who is Will Toale?” My question, though, is “Who gives a shit about Aquaman?” Seriously. It’s easy to see why “Smallville” works since it’s easy to find Superman fans who are interested in that character and who’s had shows a-plenty based on it (I still can’t fathom the popularity of “Lois and Clark”). But when did anyone ever really get behind Aquaman? To me, he was an even bigger nimrod of the Justice league than either The Wonder Twins or that goofball Marvin. One of those characters like the Green Arrow that just always seemed like a third-stringer rather than a real hero. I predict a short life for this series. However, it’ll probably get at least two seasons under its belt since the WB isn’t as overzealous as Fox is to get rid of its shows as fast as possible. However, I hope in this show that Aquaman gets to do menial tasks during his off-hours like check the fluoride levels in the water supply, and paint over grafitti on water towers. I’d actually watch that. Once.
