* ForeignLanguageTirade: In the intro, the MockCousteau yells several stereotypical French oaths (''Zut alors!'', ''Sacrébleu!'', etc.) when he learns his cameraman left the lens cap on and couldn't film Aquaman defeating the poachers.
Added DiffLines:
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Dr. Arthur Curry wears one when checking up on the animals-- and he even runs out the door wearing it when he goes to change into Aquaman! More justified is Katie King wearing one as she mixes chemicals to try to find an antidote for the Angler's poison.

Dr. Arthur Curry spends his days as a marine biologist and his nights as the seafaring superhero, Aquaman. Born in the ocean after his parents' car went over a cliff thanks to a seafood delivery truck, the young Arthur was rescued by dolphins and slowly learned the language of the sea. Working to protect the world's oceans from evildoers, he sets his sights on the Angler, the half-brother of his old enemy the Fisherman, who holds the Pacific Ocean for a 24-million dollar ransom.
The film can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7itBOg_YSs here]].
