www.comicbookmovie.com/blue_beetle/blue-beetle-jamie-reyes-movie-reportedly-in-development-at-warner-bros-a165002MWhy are they still doing it like this? WW, Aquaman, WW1984 and Joker Phoenix will be a huge surge of momentum for them to really expand the Brand. But they’re still jumping the gun just like they did before BvS came out and they put half those movies on hold. Learn from the past, take your foot off the pedal, you’re only racing against yourself here. Sorry, let me consolidate my point: 3/6th’s of the JL don’t have movies. Supergirl doesn’t have a movie, Manhunter, GL.... but Blue Beetle is getting attention. Knock it off!

Between this and Booster Gold, maybe they're laying the seeds for Justice League: International? Batman and Superman might be out of commission for a while, so get some new faces onboard?

Supergirl doesn’t have a movie, Manhunter, GL.... but Blue Beetle is getting attention. Knock it off! That's because they are not looking at things the way you are, but by what people may want to see. This year we had a film that was called "Black Panther" and it proved that a non-white superhero could make money at the box office. You also had a film called "Crazy Rich Asians", which did pretty well at the box office. Next month, will show that you can do the same with a Hispanic superhero in Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse.

The truth of the matter is that even though the white demographic makes up the majority of the population, Hispanics are over-represented among frequent moviegoers in the domestic marketplace. This has been the case for more than a decade now. The hunch is probably that if they produce a superhero movie with a Hispanic lead, they could do just as well as a Black Panther or a (Miles Morales) film. They don't have to make a movie about a superhero just because he appeared in another superhero's movie (remember, that is the way the MCU started out to begin with - solo films). Superman and Batman have done their job in showing there is an expanded universe. Now is the time they can continue the expansion with other IP's.

Don't know much about Blue Beetle. But I agree, they should do a Flash movie first, then a Green Lantern movie, then a Superman movie that's actually good... Then focus on good sequels for those... Then try to do a good JL movie... Then, expand by giving movies to lesser known characters like Suicide Squad and Blue Beetle.

Oh no, that wasn’t my point. I’m 100% fine with Hal Jordan or Kara Zoe-El being hispanic. But Black Panther was like the 18th Avenger introduced in the movies, 8th-ish to get his own solo film. Blue Beetle could potentially be the FOURTH DCEU hero to get a solo movie. Even his he’s 8th too, DC has way more popular and successful characters that should be in line before him. BP was already up because they don’t have FF or X-Men. |

But given the situation with Batman and Superman, I think they're just announcing stuff while looking for replacements. |

If DC want's to bring in some new and different characters, why Booster Gold and Blue Beetle?? I do agree about giving some more focus on the core players that really haven't been fleshed out with their own films, but if they want to introduce some more, then I would think they need to get some players that bring something different to offset all the supers.
Rorschach was an homage to the great Ditko creation, Vic Sage, aka The Question, Blue Beetle's old Charlton stablemate. Instead of another Super, and especially with the possibility of Batman being gone. Who better to have than a tenacious unpowered slightly insane character like him? Or even her! Bring in the Renee Montoya version!
Oh well, wishful thinking. We get Gold and Beetle.

Frankly, I always thought they should have used Ted Kord instead of Ray Palmer in the Arrowverse.
Still use Brandon Routh, but ultimately, the suit and character are much closer to Ted and they wouldn't have had to worry so much about utilizing the Shrinking power.
