Could the real Aquaman be returning?

http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/Wondercon08/DCCountdown.html
Asked about Aquaman, DiDio asked the fan back who is Aquaman now, to which the fan answered, "I'm not sure right now."
DiDio took a poll of the audience to see which Aquaman was the crowd's favorite, which showed the audience to be split among the different versions. DiDio said that it's something they're trying to figure out - which Aquaman should be the Aquaman to bring back.
DiDio said that while the Jim Aparo version is most recognizable, the "harpoon hand" version is also well recognized in the media. All in all, DiDio said, they're taking their time to bring Aquaman back.
Hi.I'm new to this forum so greetings everybody!
Just some scans of Aquaman I haven't seen posted...
From JLA Gatekeeper (an amazing mini IMHO).
Orin beating some evil guys,a GIANT and saving Kyle Rayner's life.Amazing fighting,leaping,speed,reflexes.

As a warrior-king Orin is exceptional in marksmanship
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7144/jlagk02pg42le8.jpg
and also knows how to mend those wounded in battle
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/1972/jlagk02pg29gz5.jpg
This is the Kong,a giant sub from the JLApe storyline (look at it's size in comparison with the buildings of Atlantis)
http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/60/aquamanannual0536cv0.jpg
Here Aquaman intercepts it (saving another sub) and then proceeds to leap out of the ocean and drag it with him-an amazing feat.
http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/4748/aquamanvsthekong2hy3.jpg
From GL's Nero storyline,Orin fights some of his constructs and does exceptionally well

From Outsiders #40, a scan showing Orin apparently being shot and just being scratched as a result.Not bulletproof 100% but extremely bulletresistant.
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5871/outsiders200640page02oucg6.jpg
Aquaman the con artist?
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7617/aquamancon1fs4.jpg
From JLA Classified-Sacred Trust, Aquaman using the Waterhand shows TOTAL control over water no matter the quantity (just look at the size of the waves he stops)

Now this is a scan with the 1000000 Aquaman.He shows the same powers with the Waterbearer Aquaman, and in this scan he roams in space unaided, suggesting that Orin could do the same.

During the Panic In The Sky story while some heroes are fighting Brainiac, Aquaman takes care of things on Earth after making an impressive leap.
http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/502/actioncomics675p13oe8.jpg
After Green Arrow came back to life, Ollie and Orin fight Black Manta.Aquaman shows great leaping,marksmanship and fighting.

Some scans showcasing Orin's fighting and training.
A scan showing Aquaman training with Batman (and having the upper hand)
http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/4599/jla7p21jv8.jpg
A thug seems impressed by Orin's fighting style (though it seems like a simple punch)
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1554/aquamanannual199722ei8.jpg
Commenting on Ocean Master's fighting style and strategy (while beating him)
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/6987/aquatt0409cb3.jpg
The difference between simple Atlantean guards and soldiers trained by Aquaman (though they didn't fare well in this case,still it shows Aquaman's military knowledge)
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/5821/aquaman19890103mg2.jpg
And some scans showing Orin using martial arts and knowledge of nerve points
http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/7796/martial1te1.jpg

An intense meeting with Superman.Orin indicates that Atlantis has weather control technology,how powerful Atlantis is as a nation and tells off Superman.A great moment showing that Orin takes $hit from no-one.And he just looks awesome in the second scan.The exit he makes is also amazing, leaving Superman wondering.

Orin has extensive knowledge of technology and recreates the JLA's database from spare parts
http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/5949/49466518ks1.jpg
Aquaman is one of JLA's heavy hitters according to Hal Jordan (and this is years before PAD and Grant Morisson started writting Aquaman and JLA)
http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/360/jlspectacular136pk9.jpg
The JLA fights some Omacs.Aquaman takes one down (this time he is not holding back like he did in his own series)

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7031/jla122page20em3.jpg

but all is fine at the end of the story (while Orin tells off the President of the USA)
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/5272/img013ht5.jpg

I will post stuff from the last arc of JLA Classified when I have more time
OK this is the second part of my Aquaman feats update.
Firstly a little skirmish between Orin, Nightwing and some mercenaries.It's from JLA Task Force and shows Aquaman doing acrobatic stunts and avoiding point blank gunshots
http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/9937/jltaskforce021819xz7.jpg
From JLA: He takes down an angel
http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/9562/jla00713vm1.jpg
I know this has been posted before but this is the full scene.After Orin gets smashed on a rooftop taking bullets he then jumps back down on the street taking out Flow. Great durability feat
http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/1227/jla02511tl7.jpg
http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/3523/jla02512is4.jpg

http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/8236/jla02514ds2.jpg
Again from JLA. This is the Star Conqueror compared to Orin
http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/4685/jla23pg06jw0.jpg
Orion pisses it of and it shoots a HUGE blast and Aquaman is at point blank range.After the blast Orion is unconscious while Aquaman is dragged by Zauriel but still OK. He even helps J'onn telepathicaly.Another great durability feat (considering how durable Orion is)
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/849/jla23pg13kt0.jpg
http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/2271/jla23pg14gd8.jpg

Aquaman keeps up with the Flash again
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/4527/jlablackbaptism304vf6.jpg
From the last arc of JLA Classified: Aquaman lifts a huge spacecraft
http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/8378/jlaclassified51009ic7.jpg
http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/8241/jlaclassified51010nl2.jpg
Again from the same arc: Aquaman jumps from 500 feet and then jumps back up (!!!) to take on the godlike Titus.He even blitzes him some times before he can react.Of course he is defeated in the end but he fared better than the rest JLA (even Superman who got one-shotted)."Depth charges going off"...

http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/210/jlaclassified53012wu9.jpg
And yet again from the same arc: an image of how Orin would look if he had accepted Titus powers
http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/4012/jlaclassified53017mp3.jpg
From JLA Classified Cold Steel: Aquaman one-shots two aliens and stalemates their huge leader
http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/4677/jlaclassifiedcoldsteel2uq8.jpg
http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/4669/jlaclassifiedcoldsteel2df1.jpg
From Justice Leagues: Aquaman kills a mutated dolphin and tries two call some Krakens.
http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/291/justiceleagues3of614nu4.jpg
Of course the Krakens are being controlled by the bad guy of the story but you get an image of what creatures Orin can control
http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/2207/justiceleagues3of620gq8.jpg
From the latest Nightwing issue: "If you are expecting Superman, Aquaman or Flash levels of strength,endurance and speed I suggest you lower your expectations to a more realistic...)
http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/388/nw145p06lp4.jpg
Aquaman's first fight with King Shark (who casually fights Superboy)."No one is faster than King Shark..." Yeah right...
http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/1196/swordofatlantis46page13za0.jpg

Second fight.This time Aquaman takes him out before King Shark passes away from drinking.LOL.

And to close this post just a cool pic fof Orin and the JLA fighting Nergal from JLA Gatekeeper
http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/962/jlavirginxi0wb0.jpg
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080627-WWCDCNation.html
Are we ever going to see the original Aquaman again? At that point, Johns and Van Sciver began whispering, saying "can we say it?" Finally, Van Sciver stated, "We'd like you to refer to Blackest Night for the answer to that."
Wow. I was sure surprised when I found this thread and forum while searching the web but I'm sure glad I am. On other forums, as an Aquaman fan I'm always stuck defending him.
This is a nice collection of certains feats he has pulled off. I may have to ask where some of the panels and pages are from though because I haven't read his highly praised JLA appearances.
Great thread.
"Any plans for Aquaman?" "Aquaman's in Final Crisis #3, and then there's more plans," said Morrison.
