Blue Beetle Appreciation!!

[El_Gato]

Last we saw Jaime he was stuck on some planet hanging out with the New God Lonar. It was in the short lived space adventure series Threshold.

Well that sucks! He should at least be a part of the Teen Titans!

I received the Modern Comics reprint version of the comic below, which was my first introduction to Ted Kord as
The Blue Beetle. My father bought it for me coming back from traveling...he grew up reading the original Dan Garret, Blue Beetle,
from Fox Publications. Needless to say, Ted Kord is my favorite as Blue Beetle.

I re-read Booster Gold: Blue and Gold a couple weeks ago. I liked that it had Dan, Ted, and Jaime in the story. Ted is my favorite, but i do like all of them.

I think he would be the perfect fit for Jamie.

Has there been any information at all about when Ted might start appearing in Justice League?

I don't know much about Dan Garret, but I like Ted and Jaime. I just picked Jaime because apart from Birds of Prey and the Giffen-Dematteis run on JL, I haven't read much else with Ted in it and what I've read I didn't like. Has anyone read the LAW miniseries or Countdown to Infinite Crisis? Also, wish I had kept reading Blue Beetle with Jaime because it was pretty good.

Man, Golden Age Dan Garrett is one of the most underrated characters I can think of. I'm not such a big fan of when he became an archaeologist with powers, but as a cop who just starts fighting crime? Doesn't get any better than that.

Of course, that's not to sat I don't also love Ted Kord and Jaime Reyes. Love them! Love them entirely.

Definitely! Plus he's Mexican (like Jaime) so it all works out. A live action Blue Beetle show would be awesome!!

For a while I thought I was going to be the only one choosing Dan!

A live action Blue Beetle show would be awesome and something that I think has the potential to attract a ton of fans/viewers with the right budget. However, his costume/armor would have to look really good. I thought his look in Smallville looked too fake:

I thought his other look from the live-action test footage was definitely an improvement but still find it lacking something:

Gotta give the Original respect!

The second picture looks decent! I'd love to see him appear in a live action Teen Titans live action show or leading his own show. I'd watch the heck out of that show!

I've unfortunately not been able to read the adventures of Ted Kord or Dan Garrett but I loved Jaime Reyes turn as the BB. John Rogers, Matthew Sturges, Keith Giffen, and the other writers and artist really brought in a fun and exciting tale for Sci-fi.

It's a shame for the NU!BB. After seeing the first incarnation I can't get into the new book.

Jamie Ryes but, only in Smallville, Young Justice TV and his first comic series. Later ones, not so much.
