After Flash I won't take anything for sure until we get a trailer.

I hope they acknowledge Ted, or feature him, if nothing else .

AWESOME!!!

I assume Blue Beetle is someone the movie will make lots of purple care about...

Not as popular as Jaime, not to mention he’s just “funny Batman”.

Happy for Jaime! About time the character hits the mainstream!

Im very excited to see dc getting lesser know charaters on the big screen! Hope they keep introducing more 2nd and 3rd teir characters

I’d prefer if they use The Reach as his main villains and leave the magic side of things out. Black Beetle was a really intimidating enforcer on Young Justice so he could be a tough villain for Jaime to overcome.

As opposed to "Teen Iron Man"?
I like Jaime but come on, don't diminish Ted like that.

Why no movie about Ted Kord? Cause y'know...he's Jaime's mentor and all? Should be a movie about him

Don’t worry, they’ll use him in the Countdown movie.

Because Ted isn’t the first Blue Beetle nor the most popular. Plus he doesn’t add any diversity either

DC has been doing that for years already. And yes “Teen Iron Man” has a lot more appeal, especially with aliens and mesoamerican culture in the mix, than another genius billionaire inventor.
