"But also in the superhero genre as just so to try something different, with the hopes that people will see it as this, for the hope that people can see it as what it is, it's very, a lot of love, a lot of heart.

There is a silly element to "Blue Beetle" that the filmmakers appear to be rolling with. Indeed, at the end of the "Blue Beetle" trailer, a character only refers to Batman to call him a fascist, a sentiment that echoes others' criticism of Batman as a symbol for cinematic "copaganda." Indeed, "Blue Beetle" will be one of the final films in the superhero continuity that began with "Man of Steel" in 2013.

He's just the right age to have seen the above films as a child. That fact alone pushes the presumed tone of "Blue Beetle" into something adolescent and fun. The most recent version of Blue Beetle — the version that inspired the character in Angel Manuel Soto's upcoming feature film — is a teenager named Jaime Reyes who chances into the possession of a mystical scarab that attaches to his body and grants him a "living" costume that adapts to protect him. I say: Bring on the antics. Yes, there will be a story, but in a superhero origin movie, the story is but the clothesline on which to hang superhero antics. ["M.A.N.T.I.S." From the look of it, however, "Blue Beetle" is not trying to wrap up any major threads or even make reference to the DCEU at all. As with many superheroes, Blue Beetle has a long and varied publishing history.

'Blue Beetle' Belongs in El Paso, No Matter What DC Brass Thinks (Texas Monthly)

In 2018, like many Latino comic book and sci-fi/fantasy fans, I was thrilled when DC Studios announced a Blue Beetle movie featuring Mexican American.

Too often El Paso is forgotten, relegated to intangible, almost unreachable status until it makes the news as a result of a It’s not the El Paso that my family knows. El Paso is also essential to the comic book and to Reyes. The scarab is also sentient, with a knack for assessing everything as a threat to which the only response is outrageous violence. It’s at El Paso that my wife’s family crossed into the U.S. El Paso as Reyes’s home speaks to the multigenerational immigrant experience in a border town. Although he visited El Paso to get a sense for the city, Soto ultimately chose to conjure a fictional sci-fi landscape in a paradise-like shawl. The West Texas border town is important to my family and to Latino kids across the state. But he is the first with supernatural abilities, which are derived from a technologically advanced alien scarab that attaches itself to the kid. I was eager to see a Texas town featured prominently in a live-action superhero movie—to think of all the young folks across the state who would see themselves in Reyes.

In 2018, like many Latino comic book and sci-fi/fantasy fans, I was thrilled when DC Studios announced a Blue Beetle movie featuring Mexican American teenager Jaime Reyes’s iteration of the character.

The implication appears to be that Blue Beetle takes place in the restarted DC Universe after The Flash. Blue Beetle would be the only one of these projects not canceled by Warner Bros.

Blue Beetle's Emphasis On Family Could Be What The New DC ... (/FILM)

Peter Parker and Kamala Khan are great characters because they are also just teenagers with teenage problems, bullies, and crushes, while Scott Lang's group of ex-con friends became some of the best characters in the MCU, without the need to be known comic book names. The rest of the Shazam family only really come into play later — and because of the powers, not in spite of them. We knew Happy Hogan, we knew Pepper Potts, we knew Rhodey, and we understood what they meant to Tony before he ever built his suit; once he became Iron Man, we had the foundation of knowing there were people who genuinely cared about him as more than just an Avengers founder. Yet, arguably the biggest reveal and focus of the trailer is on protagonist Jaime Reyes' family and friends. When you think of recent DC movies, it's hard to think of many side characters who are not either sidekicks or superhero allies that the hero only meets after they put on their costume. But before DC goes through its own Crisis on Infinite Earths event, there is plenty of reason to be excited about "Blue Beetle."
