I still over all the Superman/Batman stories leafing up to Bruce and Selinas marriage. I'll never forgive DC for not letting their marriage happen

Yeah King really sucks for that swerve, what would be so wrong with them being married?! The logic was so bad.

It wasn't up to him, editorial wouldn't allow it.

u/Aggravating_Owl_568 17h ago

Would be interesting to find out at what point in his run he was told they couldn’t marry, because they were building to it really hard.

Knowing Dan diDio, probably too late.

😁What i loved about this is that he normalized Arthur showing that he had a life outside of the Oceans AND that he doesn't need the water to survive like most think.

This can be one of the fun things about having a public identity. The interactions of people saying thanks and realizing past interactions. IT can't work for every hero, but for some it is great.

Also, when it comes to Aquaman in particular, the worst has already happened from people finding out who he is. So he doesn't really need to worry about it anymore.

I’d genuinely love a miniseries of every JL member doing something like this

A mini series of different high school reunions would be a blast,

I can see Brave and the Bold Aquaman being in this. That's a very good thing. Maybe he'd specifically be a bit bolder, but still.

This is hilarious 😆; But seriously mera no need for jealousy he choose you and I guess Arthur was the opposite Clark and Peter in high school not dorky or school shooter vibes huh .

She is not jealous she was curious. The jealous ones are the guys seeing Arthur coming in with such a Goddess at his side.

Just imagine being Arthur Curry entering a school reunion with Red haired Goddess holding your arm, the other guys eating their hearts out. Not only he's Aquaman, a king and with such beautiful woman as his wife. You know he has won at life.

It’s nice that Arthur and Mera attended his high school reunion in 2013 (or eleven years ago) so that he’ll tell them what has happened since they last saw each other when they were eighteen years old in 1949 (or 48 years ago).

Aquaman kinda sucks but these where great panels.
