Get ready to dive into uncharted waters, because the Absolute Universe might just be on the brink of welcoming its most underrated hero yet: Aquaman. Yes, you heard that right—while Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash have already made waves in their own Absolute series, the King of Atlantis has been conspicuously absent. But here’s where it gets exciting: Kelly Thompson, the mastermind behind Absolute Wonder Woman, recently dropped hints that could change everything. During a chat with the Splash Pages Comic Book Club, Thompson subtly teased Aquaman’s potential inclusion in the Absolute Universe, even referencing her use of his iconic Trident in her storytelling. “I can’t say it’s coming, but I think it’s part of the conversation, one hundred percent,” she remarked. But what does that really mean? Is she playing it coy, or is an Absolute Aquaman series already in the works? And this is the part most people miss: Thompson’s careful phrasing suggests DC Comics is at least considering it, which has fans buzzing with anticipation. Imagine the dark, twisted take on Aquaman’s underwater kingdom—it’s enough to make any comic book enthusiast’s heart race. But let’s not forget the elephant in the room: Why hasn’t Aquaman gotten his moment in the Absolute spotlight yet? Is it a matter of timing, or is there a deeper reason? Controversial take: Could it be that Aquaman’s often-underrated status in pop culture has delayed his Absolute debut? Or is DC waiting for the perfect moment to unleash a story that redefines the character entirely? One thing’s for sure: the Justice League won’t feel complete until Aquaman joins the Absolute ranks. So, what do you think? Is Aquaman ready to make a splash in the Absolute Universe, or is he better off staying in the deep end? Let’s debate in the comments—because this is one conversation that’s just getting started.
