You know, I'm starting to wonder if we're panicking for no reason here. Think about it, there's still one huge fact that they've neglected to reveal on camera - Kaldur is the son of Black Manta! We only know that because it got leaked early on, but it's never been revealed on the show.

If they were gonna cut Aqualad after only one season, then why would they go through the trouble of creating a brand new character and not just going with tried-and-tested Garth? And then to make him the son of one of Aquaman's worst enemies and not even give the audience the big thrill of an on-screen reveal? Unless they planned it as part of the comics, then something just doesn't add up...
