The show will be written and created by "Smallville's" Al Gough and Miles Millar, MediaWeek.com reported Monday. They pair will also executive produce the drama along with Warner Bros. Television.

The show will reportedly follow the exploits of Aquaman's alter-ego, Arthur Curry. Like "Smallville's" portrayal of Clark Kent and Superman, Aquaman is not expected to be seen in his costume or riding his trademark seahorse.
