Jaime is perfect for this. From the moment he was created he was the perfect candidate to be DC's Spider-Man.
I won't believe this is actually happening until they start shooting this thing though. But the potential is there, regardless of the lack of awareness of the character.

Ted, you'll always be #1 in my heart though.

About time honestly.

I'm sure someone at DC has been beating them over the head with either a Jaime or Static movie.

This is so outdated it'd be like listing Inhumans as an upcoming Marvel movie.

A FUCKING BLUE BEETLE MOVIE?
FUCKING HYPE
(Although I would've liked to see him in a live-action Teen Titans/Young Justice movie to test the waters)

We getting Ted Kord as his mentor or something?
Jaime is going to be the Spiderman of the DCEU isn't he?

Justice League Dark and Man of Steel probably aren't happening but most are rumored to be in active development. Which are you referring to out of curiosity?
  • Cyborg (April 3, 2020)
  • Justice League Dark

  • Man of Steel sequel



  • Deadshot film
  • Lobo film
  • Nightwing film

  • Joker and Harley Quinn film
  • Deathstroke film
  • Booster Gold film

  • Jared Leto Solo Joker film
Those are all probably not happening any time soon.

What sold me is Blue Beetle being the Ms.Marvel before Ms.Marvel in Brave and Bold and fanboying over everyone

I already talked about Teen Titans/Young Justice, but I'm guessing we're not getting any team movies like those or Justice League anytime soon, are we? (besides Birds of Prey)

Yeah he was great in that show, he was basically the new Robin. DC was pushing him really hard at the time. It hasn't been super fruitful yet but I still see a lot of long term potential. Same with the New Super-Man and the Justice League of China.

You already know even if you think you dont.

Being reworked as a fourth 50 shades type movie?

Brave and Bold is how they should handle most characters on screen to be honest.

Remember Aquaman?
