Things I've never accomplished: Hanging Out With Superheroes

Wouldn't this be a brilliant thing to happen?

I know that there is the slight problem that Superheroes aren't real [and no, Pheonix Jones doesn't count], but a girl can still dream, right?

Some people might be wondering why I picked Aquaman of all people to be seen hanging out with.

There are three reasons for this:
1- Aquaman is generally regarded as one of the worst well known superheroes.
2- A running joke I have with my friend Jodie that Aquaman is passionately into the music of the early 90's, in particular Hootie And The Blowfish.
3- The depiction of Aquaman in the animated series 'Batman: The Brave And The Bold'. It is fantastic. He's loud, boisterous, insanely enthusiatic, and it's almost impossible to bring him down [unless his wife forces him to go on family vacation]. It also helps that he is voiced by John DiMaggio, also known for his work as Bender on 'Futurama', and as Jake The Dog on 'Adventure Time'.

You should all make time to watch 'Batman: The Brave And The Bold'. It is first equal as my favourite Batman TV series, sharing the top spot, of course, with Bruce Timm's 'Batman: The Animated Series', and for very different reasons.
'Batman: The Brave And The Bold' takes its cues from the campier moments in Batman History, such as the Adam West Batman television show from the 1960s, and that one time Batman had to wear a Rainbow Batsuit to defeat his enemy.
It is also filled with great one-liners delivered by Diedrich Bader as Batman.

Look, just watch the show damnit. Watch all three seasons and then you can suffer for all eternity knowing Aquaman will never be that cool again.

-Here, let Aquaman inspire you with his Rousing Song Of Heroism!-


-This is the final installment in "Things I've Never Accomplished". New theme starting Monday.-
