Remember the days when we’d all make fun of Aquaman?  While yes, there are still those jokes, it’s getting harder and harder to make fun a character who continues to get more badass.

Here we have the trailer for a short crossover based on the Geoff Johns written Justice League/Aquaman crossover. Throne of Atlantis serves as an origin story for Aquaman, who was replaced by Shazam as a founding member of the League in Justice League: War.

Orm, the prince of Atlantis, and Black Manta join forces to convince Atlantis to wage war on the surface world. The Queen and the Justice League must find Arthur Curry, Orm’s lost half-brother, as he is the only hope of peace between these two civilizations.

The film features the voices of Matt Lanter (Aquaman), Sam Witwer (Orm/Ocean Master), Chris Gorham (The Flash), Jason O’Mara (Batman), Shemar Moore (Cyborg), Rosario Dawson (Wonder Woman), Jerry O’Connell (Superman), Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern), and Sean Astin (Shazam). The film is directed by Son of Batman and Batman: Assault on Arkhamdirector Ethan Spaulding.

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis will be released in 2015.
