We got word from the folks at DC Comics this morning that artist Paul Norris, co-creator of the character Aquaman, has died at the age of ninety-three. While Aquaman has yet to show up in movie theaters, rumors of a forthcoming "screwball comedy" based on the character started circulating in 2004, then began afresh last year with the success of the fake-Aquaman-movie plot on Entourage. For now, Norris' memory is honored by this failed WB pilot, as well as countless episodes of Super Friends. — Gwynne Watkins
