Aquaman–The series

Well, score one for my agent, who told me two weeks ago that Warners had pulled the “Aquaman” movie option from the folks who’d been developing it because they were planning to do a “Smallville” spin-off featuring the sea king. Kinda sucks to be the actor who is now going to be recast. Perhaps he can form a support group with Stuart Townsend who was tossed after a week of shooting LOTR for Viggo.

Speculation is abounding as to the title since reportedly it’s not going to be called “Aquaman.” I’m thinking “Miami” isn’t happening. They could go with a watery term like “Depths” or “Waves” or “Tides.” If they want to go for symbolic, they could go with “The Trident” and have an image of a trident be the running visual motif and potential link to his past. Or they could just call it “Arthur,” although that evokes the Dudley Moore film.

Any other thoughts? Serious notions, not the inevitable “Fish Tales” jokes.
