I don't think DC's trying hard at all to make him seem more badass. They had to show his powerset and dispel some things with the reboot. They did it with every character.
Simply telling the reader that Aquaman is strong as fuck on land isn't overcompensating.
Getting Khal Drogo to play Aquaman is overcompensating, but even then, only on WB's part, not DC, and they made a joke about talking to fish.
You motherfuckers need to stop making threads about this shit and just talk about his comics because DC isn't trying any harder to make him cool than they would any character. Their job is to fucking sell comics. They have to make everyone seem cool and interesting.
