What do you guys think of Gold Beetle? Do you like the idea? Would you like her to appear more? What do you guys think or want her origin story to be?
I admit I like that it's a Legacy to Booster Gold and Ted, and not Jaime, she has nothing to do with The Reach

Honestly, I'm really not a huge fan based on the very limited time we've seen her. I don't get the point, really. She is supposed to be a legacy character, and descended from both Ted and Michael on different sides, but she just seemed like a goofy, time-traveling Harley-Quinn-type, just wacky for purposes of wacky. I don't care if we never see her again.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold is leaving HBO Max which is a huge bummer. That show kinda cemented Jaime as a legitimate part of the DCU and not just a flash in the pan. The episode “Fall of the Blue Beetle” showed how cool Ted was and even had images of Dan Garrett. It really introduced the Blue Beetle to a whole new audience. It’s very possible we wouldn’t be getting a Blue Beetle movie without Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

Flash: One Minute War Special revealed Gold Beetle's name is Lilly - but we didn't get a surname.

It's Kord or Reyes for me. Kord got an epic sendoff in Countdown and I like how this affected Booster and to an extent Fire and Guy
I like Dan Garret conceptually as the supernatural angle feels fresh from Jaime's. I wish he was used back in Robinson's Earth 2 run. I'd like to do a 1940s period piece with him.
I like Kord but he feels more like a support player than a lead.

Would love to have this as a poster.
All the Beetles are fine, but Jaime is my favorite.
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

Ever since people started talking about Victoria Kord, I had this vague memory of Ted having a brother... but couldn't place it.
Finally found it, reading through the tears on a retread of "Countdown to Infinite Crisis." Does anyone know of any other mention of a brother?
