Took them long enough. Maybe we can get that Blue Beetle and Static team up folks have been asking for later down the road.
Is the director good? DCs output is very hit or miss, and if they want to start putting out movies for chars like this, it would be ideal to hit it out of the park.
I like Ted a lot, in case my avatar didn't give it away, but has he been used well in anything since JLI? I kind of hated what they've done with him since Countdown.
No, he was bungled so much that the Suicide Squad fake out was slightly believable.
But I can dream, god damn it.
Make Jaime and Virgil the center of an eventual Titans movie.
Deep breath
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Giffen and John Rogers, it's a top 5 run for me, easily my fave teen superhero book ever.

I agree. I was really looking forward to the Rebirth Blue Beetle, but dropped it pretty quickly as it was awful. I think you're right though that if the character were used well (by just following the roadmap that made him popular in JLI - smart, funny, silly, irreverent, but an overall good person) he could be a great supporting character.
Cool. Hope this doesn't stay in limbo like the rest of their 30 DC movie projects.
I hope this lights a fire under Marvel's and Sony's asses and they announce Hispanic-led movies. It was embarassing enough for Marvel that Captain Marvel and Black Widow were beaten to the punch by Wonder Woman.
I hope WB announces a Vixen movie soon too. Oh, and an Asian-led solo.

Seriously. It's a no-brainer.
I don't care that Spider-Verse 2 has him. I want him in live-action.
Yeah I liked the directors previous movie but Miss Bala was awful. Hopefully the writer does a better job with this
He seems pretty great on Cobra Kai and can quickly switch gears from comedic to serious which is what's needed for this role. That'd be a great casting choice, IMO.
I'm desperately hoping for Araña or White Tiger, or even an X-23 solo with Dafne Keen. But I'd be congratulating the fans if Spider-Man 2099 came true in some way.
