Jeff is a 44 year old city boy who has somehow found himself located in Colorado, fulfilling his lifetime dream of making a living drawing super-heroes all day.
I really hate when DC writers use this stupid gag.
“Look! It’s Aquaman! And seafood! And he doesn’t want to eat it because it’s a fish! And he’s a fish! Get it?! GET IT?! GEEEEET IT?!”
Aquaman refusing to eat fish because it’s “like cannibalism” is like Wolverine refusing to eat hamburgers. Because, Wolverine lives on the land, right? And cows live on the land too, right? So it’s just like cannibalism, RIGHT?
I don’t think this is a cannibalism joke, I think it’s a “He lives in the sea so he probably eats seafood ALL THE TIME, thus serving him seafood at a restaurant on the land would probably be disappointing for him” joke.

Yeah, that’s what I’m getting from it, too. The “what a change” line is definately sarcasm at eating the same thing he ALWAYS eats. When you live in the ocean, seafood’s pretty much your only choice…

Im sure Batman would eat a bat on a drunken dare, or Hawkeye might even enjoy some nice bird. I wouldnt mind seeing Catwoman lick some…oh nevermind
