“	Four years ago, I was basically unemployed, a wanderer with no home. But now I'm a husband and a father, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh yeah, I finally got a job. I'm the King of Atlantis. Half a billion people from every known species in the sea call this place home. But that doesn't mean they all like me.	”
— Arthur Curry[src]

Synopsis

Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father's death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman's family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.
