It probably depends on the story they want to do. Its it's own thing so they could use one or the other, or both.
Or maybe do a short on the whole Blue Beetle legacy.
I'm down for more Matt Ryan Constantine (because, c'mon, he's obviously coming back for this) .
I don't know if it was legal issues so much as just issues with that Blue and Gold movie they were purportedly making. It's why Ted was replaced with Ray Palmer on Arrow.
I hadn’t heard that, I thought it had more to do with the generally dodgy nature of Charlton as a company in terms of legalities
Agreed on Matt Ryan. He’s the only Constantine I haven’t immediately wanted to shoot out an airlock. Granted, that didn’t prevent his work with the character from also being insufferable at times, Justice League Dark Apokalips War being a prime example

They’ve given up on pushing Jaime in the comics, but I seriously doubt that means Ted will get a push instead. If there’s a Blue Beetle short coming it’s going to be Jaime or Jaime being mentored by Ted. Ted is even less well known amongst the general audience than Jaime and nowhere near popular enough to get his own stuff.
Hopefully they will use the Dan Garrett Blue Beetle.

Wasn't that the arc of the MCU, cinema's most successful cash cow? I'm pretty sure there's a solid gold idol of RDJ at the Disney building you have to pass to get to Iger's office.
Hellblazer had some great stories but I could do without John Constantine in any of my DCU material for a very long time.
Touche, but at least RDJ's Tony Stark was funny.
No doubt that this archetype is certainly popular, but it has emboldened the seemingly limitless swarm of smug self-styled "independent thinkers" who contribute nothing but cynicism and snark online.
Not that these twerps needed much prompting, but characters like Constantine have become their spirit animal.
1. Doesn't negate it - also doesn't in any size shape or form help it either.
2. I really don't care about this point if the films these characters appear in aren't that great - but yes, I do disagree with you on this. I think we would have gotten John Constantine in a Batman movie or Jaime Reyes in Teen Titans even without the shared universe. I mean, did we not just get Richard Dragon in a Batman movie shared universe free?
3. I...honestly don't know what your point is here.
