Aquaman is a television pilot developed by Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar for The WB Television Network, based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Gough and Millar wrote the pilot, which was directed by Greg Beeman. Justin Hartley starred as Arthur "A.C." Curry, a young man living in a beachside community in the Florida Keys who learns about his powers and destiny as the Prince of Atlantis. The pilot was expected to debut in the fall schedule of 2006, but following the merger of the WB and UPN, the resulting CW Network opted not to buy the series. After they passed on the pilot, it was made available online through iTunes in the United States and became the number-one most downloaded television show on iTunes. It received generally favorable reviews, was later released on other online markets, and aired on Canadian television network YTV.

 * Reasons for nomination: Superheroes are in vogue at present. I love the idea of a pilot that never kicked on. and it reminds me of the in-universe Aquaman starring Vinnie Chase in Entourage. Could be kinda fun. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:06, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: Nearly nine years since promotion. Are prose and MoS issues being thoroughly checked? There are definitely some dead links and some links that go to wrong pages. Brianboulton (talk) 00:37, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Nothing gross jumped out prose-wise at me but I will look again. I am not getting deadlinks or dablinks on any tools...there is webarchive links, which is a Good Thing...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:57, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
