DiDio coy about Aquaman future

DC Comics executive editor Dan DiDio has remained coy about the publisher’s plans for Aquaman.

DiDio questioned whether Aquaman, who is currently presumed dead, could sustain a franchise like the publisher’s self proclaimed 'A-list' characters Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.

He told Newsarama: "I don't know whether or not Aquaman can bring that level of heat to the DC Universe.

"There's a lot of interest in him. There's always been an Aquaman series that seems to have strayed from place to place or change directions on occasion.

"What we would like to do if we brought back Aquaman, is give him the same treatment we gave Hawkman, which is to give him a very clear, concise direction that felt true to the character and his past history, that also presented him with a fine interpretation to be built upon."
