New 52: Aquaman Question

JaxUr

I was wondering if anyone can assist with a couple continuity questions concerning Aquaman in the New 52:

Were Aquaman and Mera married?
Did they have a child (Arthur Jr)?
Was the baby killed by Black Manta?

I am not sure what is canon at the moment: Does the Brightest Day reboot apply to the New 52 relaunch?

My reason for asking is that I'm doing an academic presentation on Black Manta/African American supervillains and I am a bit lost in the seaweed! Also, does anyone have a favorite Manta story?

Thanks!!

Aquaman and Mera are together. Their tax/benefits/religious ceremony status is unclear in my semi-addled brain. I don't recall an Arthur Jr being referenced at this point.

Also, the New 52 reboot happened with Flashpoint and not Brightest Day (although Aquaman returned in Blackest Night and BD).

I think the only properties that "crossed over" mostly the same, without glaring continuity differences, we're Green Lantern and Batman (presumably because both were selling higher than other books). That said, I don't think either property has referenced previous continuity and so they've kind if morphed into their own in the New 52. I hope that makes sense. I think I confused myself (and I think that's why DC may not be doing as well as they'd like?).
