I'm passing on the Aquaman stuff. It's bad enough that people think he's just a cheap Namor knock-off as it is. I don't need to see an alternate universe where he's actually a Namor knock-off with his fascism cranked up to 11.
You take that back. Aquaman never has been and never will be anything like that piece of **** **** ******* worst character ever created son of a ***** Namor. Not in the DC Universe, not in any alternate reality, not in anyone's imagination.
 
Geoff Johns interview on Flashpoint!

- Batman and Flash team up, brave and bold style!
- Johns has worked on this concept for few years, it's also his most accessible event to date, i think Flashpoint is the only title he's writing, compared to Blackest Night where he also was writing Green Lantern and those two books kinda tied up together, enchancting the experience of the event to a bigger (but more money consuming) level.
- This is a Flash+Batman event. Flash is the cop, Batman's the detective.
- Cyborg is like Aquaman to Geoff Johns, one of his favorite characters and really big potential for really showing off that A+ quality.
- Some obscure female character is also taking a big part of the events, perhaps they're talking about Element Woman?



“When Geoff and I were going over the characters and their backgrounds for the Flashpoint series, he told me that Wonder Woman would be wearing medieval armor and that it’s an integral part of her background story (she leads an army!). I LOVE drawing armor. I immediately knew what she should look like and the attitude I wanted to give her was akin to the Ripley character Sigourney Weaver played in the Alien movies. And I wanted to put her in a helmet but not make the helmet too knight-ish but something that would be a bit more appropriate for her at the time Flashpoint was taking place. After the sketch was completed, I sent it to Geoff, Eddie and Adam Schlagman for approval and feedback. They loved it, but what they really liked was the helmet which now has a great back story that goes along with it (which they would clobber me for if I spoiled it here).”
 
finally...Batman is an active part of an event again.
 

“What you’re looking at is probably my very first drawing of Aquaman. For Flashpoint, he’s military, tough and rugged with a scar on his face. You can see a lot of Sgt. Rock in his look…but that’s probably in my genes! I gave him the buzzcut to help with his background and decided to keep the trident like the original one…why mess with a good thing? The fins on his boots in this sketch didn’t make the final cut for the series. I like the take no prisoner attitude that he portrays since that’s his character. Someday, I’d love to take a crack at a hard-hitting mini-series with him. There’s so much visual that can be done with underwater techniques.”
