He's such a gigantic failure that he can't even help the sea life properly.

Aquaman a failure?
He's got Mera. That's more than any of you could say :P

Also, he's got superpowers.
It's Batman whose got none, and Pigeonlady (aka Hawkgirl) the one whose sole "super power" is to fly over villains' heads and strike them with bird droppings.

Batman is the world's greatest detective and probably the world's most eligible bachelor. Giving him superpowers would just be unfair.

^^ In canon he was very briefly a Yellow Lantern but rejected it. (You know -- the ring based on causing fear as well as intelligence, willpower and emotion. :) )

So since that wasn't overpowered enough, they made him a White Lantern. (Also temporarily.)

Except when she goes crazy. Which is often. (She eventually became a deputized Red Lantern!)

Still, when he manages to be ruling 3/4 of the planet through sheer awesomeness (as occasionally happens) he manages not to be a failure. :) On the other tentacle, plot dramatics dictate he routinely fails at that and loses his reign.

On yet the other tentacle, he goes up against gods and elder lovecraftian evils at least as much as Wonder Woman. And wins as much as she does, too. Arguably more often than she does: once a year he and Etrigan team up to beat the hell (literally) out of one of the Lovecraftian Elder Gods to keep it from escaping. He even picked a fight with the Spectre, the living embodiment of the God's wrath. In the DCAU Justice League series he (and his Atlantean army) so thoroughly kicks the butts of an army of Elder God minions, the other JL team members find the army running away back through the ocean portal. In Peter David's run, it was revealed that Aquaman could, if he really wanted to, simply use his telepathy to crush the will of anything (even the ancient alien god Tiamat) that has anything to do with water in its ancestry. Which includes all life on Earth, too. Including most of the superpowered entities on Earth. (He doesn't because that would corrupt him awfully fast into an evil Edritch Abomination entity.)

In effect, Aquaman is Kratos from the God of War series except more powerful. (He even pulls a classic Kratos move on purpose: letting another sea god kill him so he can assault hades to rescue Poseidon from Pluto--primarily by scaring Pluto with threats of what he'll do if he stays in hades!)

Aquaman may be a perennial loser in life, but he kicks an amazing amount of a$$, and is sometimes (when ruling Atlantis) in a position where he could be classed close to an Omega-level threat. As in, if he's pissed off he can destroy the (surface) world. "You have hundreds of champions to defend a few land masses. I protect the other seventy percent of the world...and there is only one of me."
