User blog comment:Oknight/Aquaman -- Why did the League pick HIM?/@comment-1635895-20110318043946

There will difinitely be some distinct reason why they chose him. Even though he might be in the League simply because he was in the right place at the right time, and was present at its' creation. Mind you, Aqualad seemed to do more in the opening of episode 1 then he did.
