Aquaman has the ability to shut down the brains of any aquatic creature and scince Namor is half aquatic it could present a problem for him... I don't know if it will be completely succussful but even if it only works partially it should still bring him down to a more level footing, and then if they are in the oceon it will depend on if Namor can beat Aquaman and the oceans creatures at his weakened state and if they are on land it will depend of if Namor can beat Aquaman before he becomes even weaker from lack of water... so it is not as straight forward as it seems.

Aquaman dehydrates faster than Namor, so on land Namor would probably have a better chance if he can keep him away from water. Not to mention the fact that he's goddamn Namor, he's going to win.
DC phased out this weekness from Aquaman a while ago, now adays he spends as much time as he wants out of water without any problems.
Personnaly I love Namor (it use to piss me off in the FF comics when they used to beat him so easily all the time, even when they are under the ocean in his domian). It also annoyed me how Reed always seemed to look down at Namor with his richousness, altho it was always Namor and his people who were the victims of humanity. Never have I rooted for the other side than when the FF fought Namor (especially Reed).
Even so Aquaman has managed to shut down the mind of a whole army of submariners (the ones that are always fighting Namor and his people, I forget thier name). I am sorry but that can be a very powerful weapon against Namor (as I said before I don't know how effective it will be since he is half human, but still it must have some effect). If he can overcome these without being weakened too much, then he wins, but if it weakens him too much then Aquaman can use the creatures of the ocean against him.
I will be rooting for Namor but I just don't think these is going to be as easy or as one sided as people think.
P.S. I thought Superman and Batman were first, before Namor and Torch (I know they were the first Marvel)? I will have to do some research on that....
