Earlier this summer, this very site as well as <b>Comics 2Film</b> reported on the features of Aquaman. When Aquaman appears in Cartoon Network's <b>Justice League</b>series, he will look abit differently than his traditional appearance in Superman. He will feature his long haired bearded look, accompanied with his now classic hook hand.
"There's an interesting story behind that," Justice League producer Bruce Timm said. "What happened was when we did the first Aquaman episode of Superman, we all were kind of rebelling against DC Comics. We kind of went, 'No, we don't like the guy with the long hair. We like the guy in orange and green who rode the sea horse.' What was interesting is that when we wrote it, he kind of was the new Aquaman. He was kind of angry, not the old family-man, sea-horse-riding, curly haired guy. And it really didn't work with the old costume."
If that quote looks familiar it is becuase it should - it's been used before in various online reports. Bruce Timm continued, saying that the Aquaman two-part episode is among his favorite. Also, Cartoon network has announced that Scott Rummel will do the voicework of Aquaman and Kristin Bauer does the voice of <a href="http://www.toonzone.net/worldsfinest/wfnewspage/cnjl6.jpg">Mera</a>.
Justice League will premire on Cartoon Network on Saturday, Nov. 17 with a 90 minute movie, composed of the opening three episode arc.
