When a US submarine goes down in Atlantean territory, the Justice League moves in to help though the surface worlds arrival causes Aquaman to resurface. He informs the heroes that they can take the people off the sub, but must leave it and the weapons aboard behind.
When Aquaman goes to visit the surface world conference, a hired assassin fires a bazooka at the man, critically injuring him. The Justice League comes to his aid as they work to save the man's life and capture the man, Deadshot, forcing him to reveal who it was that hired him.
Believing their leader to be injured, if not dead, Atlantis is taken over by Aquaman's brother Orm. After a quick recovery, both Aquaman and his wife are taken prisoner by the evil brother as he declares that he will destroy the surface world. However, the League comes to the rescue again as they work with Aquaman to stop Orm from using a thermal machine at the Arctic Circle which could flood the world.
Probably one of the better early two-parters, "The Enemy Below" introduces Aquaman and helps to set up his character for his later appearances in both the first two seasons and again in Unlimited. The animation is still pretty good, and we are still in the process of establishing the universe and our heroes place in it.
