| abstract | - Aquaman is a television pilot developed by the creators of Smallville, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The show takes place in the fictional community of Tempest Key which is about 25 miles away from Mercy Reef, and focuses on the adventures of Arthur Curry, who will eventually become the superhero Aquaman. The concept of Aquaman stemmed from a fifth season episode of Smallville, Aqua. The episode featured Arthur Curry (Alan Ritchson) coming to Smallville to stop an underwater weapons project being developed by LuthorCorp. Aqua became the highest rated episode for Smallville that season, but it was never meant to be a backdoor pilot for an Aquaman series. However, as work progressed on Aqua, the character was recognized to have potential for his own series. Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the creators of Smallville, also considered a series featuring Lois Lane, but felt stronger about Aquaman. Millar said,"Aquaman was the first idea where we really thought we had a franchise where we could see 100 episodes."

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 Aquaman 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 and was later released on other online markets, and aired on Canadian television network YTV.
