"The Enemy Below" (episodes 6 and 7) is a two part episode of season one of the animated series Justice League.
A nuclear submarine is attacked in the Atlantic, forcing the League to come face-to-face with Aquaman and his Atlantean army. After agreeing to have the crew rescued, but leaving the sub with all of its weapons on the bottom of the ocean, Aquaman goes to Metropolis to take his problems up with the various governments of the world. Unfortunately the meeting does not go well for the king of the seas, and as he leaves discouraged, he is attacked and must be rushed to the hospital. When the mercenary Deadshot tries to attack Aquaman again, the League steps in, and Aquaman discovers that Lord Orm, his own brother, was behind the attack. He tries to stop Orm from starting an all-out war with the surface world, but he is taken prisoner when his own officers stage a coup. Orm takes Aquaman and his infant son and place them on a cliff over a vein of molten lava and leaves them to die. In order to save his son, Aquaman must make a terrible sacrifice.
