I dont think it'll be good as smallville

Are they really making an Aquaman spinoff?
Cause honestly I thought that cameo was the worst one.
NoFate007
It definitely won't. Aquaman doesn't have enough powers or fellow characters that can sustain a show like Smallville did. If they really wanted to make another Smallville-esque show, they should've done one about the Green Lantern starring Kyle Rayner.

Not sure that they could pull off another Smallville esque show. Superman was the perfect character to use when coming up with a teen angst coming of age story. Most well known hero, many powers, one weakness, lots of friends.
In the Superman comics his family and friends have always had a huge part in the story which is why I think the Smallville writers were able to adapt that to a running series. Taking someone like Aquaman or Green Lantern whose private lives really arnt as well known would be a giant leap and a great undertaking.
Everyone has heard of Lois Lane, John and Martha Kent, Lana Lang and others that are in the show. I couldnt for the life of me name anyone related to either of the other two Superheroes.

i dont think it'll last long but yes they are making one, Alfred Gough (how ever u spell his name) will be working on it too as executive producer (i think miles miller will to but i dunno)

Wow, Lou Diamond Philips is gonna play the father?
Doomed for failure it appears. Who knows though if they throw in enough teen angst it could get ratings, I mean heck its WB.
Dont know how people are gonna relate though, Clark Kent is a down to earth farm boy that goes to high school who just happens to have super powers.
The two most famouse parents in the history of Comics id have to say go to John and Martha Kent, most famous spouse is definately Lois. These are characters people wana see because they've read about them within the pages of graphic novels.
No one from the Aquaman genre intrigues me in the slightest.
NoFate007
The only people that would be able to pull off a show about growing up as a superhero are Superman, Batman, possibly Green Lantern if you go the route of young Kyle and start the show with him getting the ring, Spider-Man but we have the movies, and X-Men but that wouldn't be the same thing.

PARTAE! Guess who got himself banned again!

Smallville
Aquaman will be terrible.
First of all, what a terrible superhero. Second, Batman Begins tried to grab some of the fame from Smallville by going back into how Batman became Batman. Third, .... no! Stupid! Dont!

Hey smallville...in that episode where they show lex like that, it was with that one old lady wasnt it? What were her powers again i forgot
Jedi Priestess
She can see into the future.

I don't know if you guy's said this yet but they are having a different guy playing Aquaman
Marth18
yea they had two in mind
Smallville
Justin Hartley is the guys name who is playing A.C. (Aquaman) He was in Passions... but dont ask how I know that.
I was reading more into this show, and I hate it more. They stole 2 ex-Smallville cast members. Granted, it was Andrea "The Avenging Angel" and Kara, but still.
Marth18
Its going to flop....... they need aquaman fighting >>

Smallville
Hey, this is the latest news I have heard. I can only go by what I read.
Kal875
I don't know what you guy's are talking about. I think this show will be great. And the only reason they took two Smallville members was because they were good actresses. The producers of this show are going for the best.
Smallville
Aquaman is a lame character to begin with. There is only so much you can do with a character whos abilities revolve around swimming and talking to fish.

Marth18

Aquaman series might be a flop.. i don't even like that hero.... wish it should have been the flash or batman,,
guys it should have been a spinoff lois lane if dc had agreed
here's the quote
Paul Chapman of Texas wants to know how much consideration you gave to a Lois Lane spin-off before going with Aquaman.
Al Gough: There was a big consideration and ultimately that camd down to a corporate decision. Before we pitced Smallville to The WB we pitched them a Lois Lane show. So they came back to us this season and said, "Now that we actually have Lois can we spin her off?" We came up with an approach, but ultimately when it went up the corporate ladder it wasn't something they were willing to sign off on, so that sort of set us onto Aquaman. We go into production on Aquaman in March, and we still don't have an Aquaman yet. We are still searching the Seven Seas and several continent.
From what I understand DC is VERY protective of the Lois Lane character
