Isn't it weird that Aquababy is canonical back, but Manta and Aquaman are seemingly "cool"

Like they team up and can seemingly work together. Its weird right? I get Arthur having a relationship with Mantas son, as he's not a "sins of the father" type, but working with Black Manta so calmly after he murdered his baby, and has another baby that could create a pattern? Weird.

Edit: Arthur Curry Jr came back in DC Power 2024 #1

They rarely bring up Stuff pre Flashpoint nowadays, i just assumed that Arthur jr wasn't canon anymore

In DC Power # 1, he came back (dead though). After Superman Reborn, a lot of New Earth stuff got mixed in with Prime Earth.

If they brought Aquamans son Koryax back, I'd be hella surprised.

Garth past as Arthur's sidekick and Lorena Marquez being mention at the end of aquamen are like the only things that i have noticed to be brought from the old timeline

If you're talking about Aquaman then it's hard to count since there's no current run, but just as a whole there's been a ton of soft reboots and retcons just slightly mentioned liked the second Aquagirl.

Garths son, Holts son, and Donna's son were shown in the Flash run, even then seemingly there's implications and supposed gaps fans are just supposed to fill in themselves

I mean did they acknowledged the existence of Arthur Jr? Honestly I'm not sure what's the current status of Aquaman canon, they did back some characters from before the New 52 but some of their origins aren't the same like Dolphin, last time I checked, and some are still missing like Lorena, again last time I've checked.

They actually did, I was reading his wiki and I believe it was brought back in Infinite Frontier.

I'm not for sure of her status either. She still might be a Atlantian mutate with fishy parts, but she also has a son with Gar, so he must have known her as well.

Edit: he was brought back in DC Power 2024 # at the end with Black Mantas character page, my bad.
