Development

Despite Super Friends giving Aquaman a bigger public audience, it tarnished the character's reputation as being completely ridiculous and useless, and eventually Aquaman was downplayed throughout the years as being unimportant even by Super Friends standards. DC Comics spent decades trying to undo this by trying to remove the wholesome side by making him edgier. In spite of this, DC wasn't above even poking fun at Aquaman in Cartoon Network's Batman: The Brave and the Bold and and their own Aquaman/Jabberjaw Special, the latter of which united the two concepts.
