Aquaman | Comics

Born and raised in Amnesty Bay by Tom Curry and Atlanna, Arthur Curry grew up with superhuman-strength and momentum as well as aquatic abilities like breathing underwater and communicating with marine creatures. Before her death, his mother revealed her origin as an exiled Queen of Atlantis and Arthur being the rightful heir to Atlantean Royal Family.

The boy grew up to be the super-hero known as Aquaman. He clashed with the demon Nuliajuk and also saved Wonder Woman from the clutches of Triton. When the Appellaxians invaded Earth, Arthur along with Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Superman and Wonder Woman formed the Justice League.

Despite being a member of the Justice League of America, Aquaman chooses his kingdom and people as his top priority. Frequently dealing with his regular antagonists like Black Manta, Ocean Master, Hagen, Kordax and other villains Aquaman also deals with threats that need his attention.

Arthur is married to the Queen of Dimension Aqua, Mera and with her he has a son named Arthur Curry, Jr. During the “New World Order” of the alien Hyperclan, Aquaman and JLA managed to overthrow them. When Atlantis was pulled backwards in the Obsidian Age, he took a wraith-form and eventually reformed later. Orin perished during “Dweller in the Depths” storyline, then later resurrected in “Blackest Night” and revived at “Brightest Day”.

Year One – Batman/Scarecrow | Comics

The Dark Knight desperately tries to find out the person before this criminally insane person causes any more death of the innocents and any possible link that would help him catch this new lunatic in town. Even all of his heightened detective skills seemed to be not enough to do that at the beginning. Still, an unrelenting Dark Knight ascended on the underground mob of Gotham like a wrecking ball.

Meanwhile, a skinny guy in a scarecrow outfit raids Gotham University's Professor Pigeon’s house, who happened to be his brightest student from college, Jonathan Crane. Having an extremely abusive childhood constantly in the hands of his fanatically religious great-grandmother for being a bastard and local bullies, Crane grew up realizing the importance fear and control as the two most powerful forces on earth.

He reveals to professor these dark aspects of his childhood as well as his days in Gotham College. Batman finds it that a guy dressing up in something horrific, going out into the night and terrifying his enemies is not an unusual term for himself and tries to dig up for clues again from the beginning of the investigation once more. With The Boy Wonder, he starts busting up the mobs of Gotham City to find some answer to this mystery.
