    More than the character deserves, but I wish it well. No one wins when this sort of movie bombs.

    What a downgrade! Latinos deserve better than a streaming movie

    How successful movies like Godzilla vs Kong and Mortal Kombat have been going straight to streaming I don't see that as a downgrade at all. Films don't need a theater to have an impact.

    They were intended for theatrical release and also got dual releases. That same day plan has lost WB a ton of money according to insiders and the growth for HBO Max has been slow. People subscribe for shows not movies

    Blue Beetle (Batgirl and Static too) being relegated to streaming is a HUGE let down and basically says these characters are lesser than

    Agree. Especially since movie theaters are pretty much back to normal in most parts of the USA. No need to pull a Wonder Woman 1984.

    Not according to Bob Wilson. He said MK did better than expected and served as a gateway to the service other content

    The movies is the reason to have Max not the shows.

    Society is in a new era for movies. Being a made for stream movie is not like saying "made for TV movie" even 10 years ago.

    Movies do better going straight to streaming then trying to go to the cinema or charge extra. E.g. Soul and Army of the Dead vs Raya andTenet

    Let's just say I don't trust WB to do with Blue Beetle what Marvel did with Ant Man

    Make a just okay superhero movie? Lol for real though I'd rather this movie be about Ted Kord.

    This is why I wish DC just gave Jaime another alias and permanently split him up from Ted. Jaime doesn’t need Ted and Ted doesn’t need Jaime. The two share nothing in common except the superhero name. That way whenever Jaime gets a project we wouldn’t see Ted Kord fans show up begging for him to be included. Jaime would be allowed to sink or swim on his own
