* BerserkButton: At some point during the adventure, our heroes prompt Aquaman to summon the sea life of Adam's adopted planet. A couple of the planet's equivalent of belugas whale come along, and when Adam plans to use them to help on their journey, it sets off Aquaman to shoo them off before they can get into any real trouble. Unbeknownst to either Adam or Batman, it hits a raw nerve for the grieving Aquaman to so much as ''suggest'' endangering belugas.
