With production due to begin on the Aquaman movie in May, we revisit the 2006 TV series pilot.
This article comes fromDen of Geek UK.
We live in times where superhero stories have been told from every possible perspective.
Except that it almost did, with Aquaman.
Theres even a mysterious glowing pendant.
Its all very 00s.
But, to great surprise, the pilot episode never made it to air.
The explanation behind whyMercy Reefnever got past its first episode seems superficially simple at first.
All we can do really is speculate about whyAquamannever happened.
The most logical reason for the cancellation is budget.
Another reason might simply be taste.
Gough and Millar seemingly shopped around a few other networks and despite a lot of rejections they nevertheless persisted.
The full series might have been dross but going by Aquamans maiden voyage, there was definitely potential.
Its a crying shame it wasnt given the proper chance to prove itself.
