I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Blue Beetles introduction way back in INFINITE CRISIS. Ive said it before, but thanks to the BLUE BEETLE series launched by Keith Giffen and John Rogers with a great design by Cully Hamner, Jaime Reyes rocks. Great character, great story, great look. Hes already appeared in animation, had action figures and right now hes on my computer in live-action glory. I have an early special effects test that has been floating around of what his armored scarab-suit could look like. This isnt final. This isnt greenlit. Its only a test that was done. We still have a long way to go to see if we can get this off the ground and a lot of people to jump on board..."
"At the same time, as previously announced, the YOUNG JUSTICE cartoon series is just around the corner featuring Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis and the all-new Aqualad who will be appearing very briefly in BRIGHTEST DAY #4, but really comes into his own in BRIGHTEST DAY #10 before hitting the small screen this fall.[link]
When we first meet Aqualad in BRIGHTEST DAY hes Jackson Hyde. An average student, with an on-and-off girlfriend, thats pretty bored in New Mexico.
Since he was young, hes been taught by his parents to fear water they dont want him near it because his true parents would be able to locate him. Not to mention certain changes happen to Jackson when he gets in the water.
Jackson has kept this secret hidden for years, lying to his girlfriend about being afraid of drowning, being unable to swim and being in the dark about the mysterious tattoos hes had since birth. Hes done his best to avoid it. But soon somethings going to force him out into the open and dive into the water.
Obviously, this all ties into the larger Aquaman and Mera story within BRIGHTEST DAY, but Jacksons adventures will also be seen in the YOUNG JUSTICE animated series this fall along with more DC characters than you could imagine.
I really believe in the story behind Jackson and, like Blue Beetle, I hope you give him a chance to grab your heart and imagination as he arrives on the scene in comics and cartoons."

Bisexual is what everyone was before society kicked in.
