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.
