A boy will become a man in DC Universe's Young Justice: Outsiders, as Kaldur’ahm (Khary Payton) officially takes up the mantle of Aquaman.

One of the original team members, Aqualad was not an established DC Comics hero when he first debuted on the popular animated series, but he has since emerged as one of the show's most popular characters. Now, it looks like he'll be graduating to the Justice League.

Producer Greg Wiesman explains why King Orin believes the time has come for Kaldur to step up while chatting to EW:


“We established back in season 1 that King Orin was training Kaldur to take his place as Aquaman. Aquaman was also King of Atlantis, which to most people would be a full-time job, and yet he also had to be in the Justice League as Aquaman, which was a lot on his plate. His game plan was to train Kaldur’ahm to be the new Aquaman so he could go back to being King of Atlantis, which was plenty.

What you’ll see in this season is that after everything that’s happened in season 1 and season 2, and the leadership qualities that Kaldur has shown, Orin looks at Kaldur and says, ‘You’re ready.’ It’s a pretty momentous year for him.”

Check out the first image of Kaldur as Aquaman below, along with over 20 promo stills for the first three episodes. Young Justice: Outsiders is set to premiere on DC Universe on January 4th.

I really hope he gets introduced in Aquaman 2.

@Oberlin4Prez - probably will use Garth before Kaldur

Oberlin4Prez - 12/20/2018, 8:16 PM
@dracula - I'm not opposed to that either. Lol

@Oberlin4Prez - also considering Black Manta hasnt been to atlantis yet, dont see how Kaldur can possibly be done. Probably would be a baby if he ever shows up

@dracula - I think kaldur mother is a Xebel

@zeon00 - yeah she was.

Even if she wasn’t, they could have his story mirror Arthur’s where Kaldur’s mom met Manta on land after escaping Xebel.

@Oberlin4Prez - what would hope is they introduce Garth but lay the seeds for Kaldur in the movie. Seemingly Black Manta and *SPOILER* Shin are going to be the villains so maybe they have Manta meet Kaldur’ahm’s mother or something

@zeon00 - Speaking of the Xebel, I believe Mera pronounced it Chebel in the movie. I think she also gave a longer name with Mera as a shorter form, but I haven't been able to figure out what she said.

He looks like a better "Aquaman." In fact Aquaman should be bald. A hairy Aquaman seenms antithetical to his environment. Hair is associated with animals on land!

@Forthas - Looks like they are really going with the whole generations stuff, with the time jumps between seasons and now this, wonder if we will ever see Bruce retire, and Tim and Dick becoming Batman, Bart or Wally (if he returns), becoming the Flash, Artemis or Roy become Green Arrow,

I'm rewatching Young Justice and i'm on season 1 episode 16...

This show is so good bruh there are no cartoons like this and Spectacular Spider-Man in western animation, gotta go to Japan's Anime for some good stories smh.
dracula
dracula - 12/20/2018, 7:43 PM
@Snowbirdd - have you not seen these shows

just as good, if not better than some anime
Snowbirdd
Snowbirdd - 12/20/2018, 8:38 PM
@dracula - Oh no lol, Thoes shows are great and are classics, don't get me wrong, I just meant In terms of streamlined long form storytelling. There isn't much, if any, in western animation compared to the abundance found in Anime(although, not all of it is good lmao)

The way Spectacular and Young Justice made you feel about these characters as they grew and progressed was phenomenal.(The only possible drawback I think is maybe not getting the freedom to do certain things because of the tight knit story)

@Snowbirdd - (Aside from The Zeta Project lmao)

@Snowbirdd - What about the Justice League Unlimited CADMUS arc, it built on things established in Superman The Animated Series, Justice League and some stuff from Batman the animated series
dracula
dracula - 12/20/2018, 9:03 PM
@Snowbirdd - also cant forget Avatar The Last Airbender

@BlackBeltJones - Wonder if he is a member of the Justice League or if he is still leading the team

Daniel Ezra (All American on The CW) as Aqualad for Aquaman 2

@superbigguy32 - There would be some dramatic irony in that. Black Manta hates Aquaman for killing his father yet Arthur's apprentice is Manta's own son.

I hope he doesn’t get underutilized this season, he’s always been my favorite
