Young Justice Aqualad News!

According to this story at CBR,
Aqualad — Jackson Hyde, who’s introduced in DC’s Brightest Day #10 — is the leader of the team. Like his comic-book counterpart, the animated Aqualad will be revealed as the son of Black Manta, archenemy of Aquaman. Fans of the previous Aqualad, Garth (aka Tempest), should take heart: He, too, will appear in Young Justice.

Aqualad the leader of Young Justice?!? Too cool! Even better that Garth will appear!! I will absolutely, positively be tuning in!

Even More San Diego Aqua-news!

This time concerning the new Aqualad! CBR talked with the producers of the upcoming Young Justice animated series and also got the following:
At the panel, Johns allowed the producers to reveal the identity of the new Aqualad's father. While it is still a mystery to the character, attendees at the panel learned of Black Manta's involvement. "We were shocked that he said we could say [it]," Weisman reflected. "[It] is true across the Multiverse," he added.
As soon as I saw the new Aqualad, I thought he would end up being related to Black Manta somehow. I just really hope that Mera is NOT his mother. That's all I have to say about it.
