Geoff Johns has tweeted this interesting tidbit of news concerning a possible live-action Blue Beetle television series. The character has been around for ages but only recently has gained popularity from being featured in the animated series The Brave & The Bold. Previously there have been live-action shows featuring Batman, Superman and even the Flash so could a movie be far behind?
"BLUE BEETLE NEWS from DCE!! We have a live-action test of Jaime Reyes’ scarab activating his suit. It. Is. Awesome… we’re hoping to develop a live-action show. Fingers crossed!"
Now my impression would be that Warner Bros. is testing waters with the hero to see if there is enough interest to bring him to the screen. Knowing that DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. plan on upping their releases it would make sense that Blue Beetle could be one of the heroes to get their own origin film. If they're really working towards a Justice League film or even establishing their film universe he might be a great addition. DC is already hard at work on Green Lantern 2 and The Flash so it would be possible they're thinking of other heroes to adapt.I'm doubtful this could be happening anytime soon since Green Arrow and Wonder Woman seem like higher priority franchises. I just believe the television show is the best way to see if there is enough of demand to move forward with a film.
