THREAD: RUMOR: DC PREPARING A NEW SLATE OF SHOWS FOR HBO MAX

It looks like blue beetle most likely will be a tv show then a movie.

I think a TV show would be a better fit for Jaime's narrative.

How old is Jaime?

Late teens, pretty much?

How old is Jaime?

He's usually been 17 in mainline DC comics. The Injustice comics had him at 19, instead, the oldest he's been, I think.

His animated stuff might skew younger, like Batman: Brave and the Bold, but usually no more so than 15-ish. His age wasn't really stated then, I don't think, but it felt like he was a tag younger. Likewise for Justice League: Action (though he was never out of costume during his few appearances in that show). I think he was 15 in Season 2 of Young Justice, and 17 during Season 3. And in the Teen Titans direct-to-DVD/streaming animated movies, I suspect his age was about 16.

If you're asking for the reason I think you might be, I'm worried too, a tad. HBO's not really known for egalitarianly family-friendly/all-ages fare. Not that I have ever heard of. Being an HBO anything implies they intend to skew darker, etc.. A good effects budget that'd do Jaime justice would be the one upside, but would it be worth it in the long run?

This isn't HBO though, it's HBO Max, which is WarnerMedia's all encompassing service using the HBO name for brand recognition.

My main worry about a Blue Beetle show is more that it'll feel too much like a teen drama before a superhero show. That was a major issue I had with Runaways.

Ahh. I guess I didn't understand, and just saw the HBO and went "Oh... They're going hardcore edge..." or something.

Agreed. Also, love the artist having Jaime embrace his inner Kamen Rider! And Jaime's looking pretty buff there, too.

Jaime has been working out it seems!! I hope this does good enough and leads to more Blue Beetle in the comics! He’s too good to be stuck in limbo!

Also excited for a potential Blue Beetle tv series!!! I hope it’s true because I just want a live action Jaime already, well a decent one anyway. I’d cast Diego Tinoco

Not crazy about the art but the story looks suitably horrifying.

kinda strange that ted would go off the rails and take down the justice league... but hey, i'll take anything at this point.

So I read Batman/Superman #3. Was Blue Beetle being infected covered in other books or do I have to wait for the one-shot?

It wasn’t covered in another book so you’ll probably have to wait for the one shot. Though I’m sure they’ll do a recap in issue 4.

just realized, ted is sporting the emblem of brother eye, and is wearing a head fin similar to dan garret's and probably even the shoulder pads of superboy prime's....

that's some serious firepower dark ted is sporting.

He also looks very Anti-Monitor-ish.
