They put Aqualad in the comics?
I know Greg Weisman created him for Young Justice cartoon...which I need to finish.
Yea, and he looks like this.
It's Garth.
The Aqualad you're thinking of (Kaldur) currently doesn't exist in DC Comics.
He hasn't existed since 2011 when they pulled some version out their ass to coincide with the tv show... and that lasted all but a year (2010-2011) before they rebooted the entire DC comic-verse and decided he wasn't worth recreating. Mind you he looked nothing like Kaldur, more like static shock's younger brother braids n all, was raised by foster parents on land, no atlantean upbringing, and his real father (Manta) straight up tells him that he (and his mother) meant
nothing to him and was about to kill him before Aquaman's broad saved him.
That's the 'black excellence' they chose to carry over to the comics before they threw him to the bushes.
Context is a muthafukker
It's why i said what i did earlier about DC Animated vs DC Comics when it comes to.. certain things..
Timm/McDuffie and those Young Justice showrunners will always have my respect for how they went about their shyt.
ESPECIALLY on the movie side, but that's because the majority of the geek audience who support this are bigots who have deep hate for Blacks. Probably because some brotha would bully them at recess & take their lunch money as kids. I mean seriously, the hate is REAL!! Y'all should see the intense criticism Luke Cage is getting from these "fanboys" just for that 20 second teaser trailer for his Netflix series. Sayin "He shouldn't have a show" & whatnot.
Now, THAT could've changed the game!!
