60 of 233 · most liked firstThis is pretty cool—DC sent me a check for my “invaluable contributions” to the DCU, specifically for elements from my Blue Beetle run that may have inspired something in the movie. It wasn’t like a HUGE check but it was nice to be thought of at al!
positive · AI labelView post →Buddy they made a fuckin Blue Beetle movie we’ve got Booster Gold and I dunno Plastic Man or some shit left and that’s it
neutral · AI labelView post →As an aside, reading my film adaptation of MAGE is what made Keith Giffen call me to do BLUE BEETLE with him as I was, to paraphrase him, "one of the only assholes who seemed to get it". One passion project leads to another, a web of coincidence.
neutral · AI labelView post →Dear @jamesgunn.bsky.social I just walked out of Blue Beetle with my niece. I am 42 years old & this movie showed me something I can’t remember seeing in a long time. The Latino family representation was so authentic. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. I’m begging you please bring these characters back.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Blue Beetle for the third time, and in 2025 America, things hit particularly hard. Watching with my Hispanic husband and sister-in-law also makes it that much more real. I wrote some thoughts. Wish more people saw this movie at release. letterboxd.com/marzgurl/fil...
positive · AI labelView post →The live-action ‘JUST CAUSE’ movie is moving forward with Aaron Rabin (‘Jack Ryan’) writing the script. Angel Manuel Soto (‘Blue Beetle’) is already set to direct. (Source: thewrap.com/aaron-rabin-just-cause-video-game-adaptation-universal/)
neutral · AI labelView post →there’s a guy at work whose taste is so reliably dogshit that it’s a much more predictable barometer for how much I’ll enjoy a movie than people I generally agree with. he told me Blue Beetle was a “revolutionary achievement.” sure man! I bet I’d fit into the folds of his brain like a junji ito hole
negative · AI labelView post →Good News! Word has it that Xolo Maridueña will be making a return as Blue Beetle in Man of Tomorrow, the upcoming sequel to Superman. It will be Xolo's first appearance as the DC Comics hero since the 2023 film directed by Ángel Manuel Soto. redpopnews.com/jaime-reyes-...
neutral · AI labelView post →This was pretty much the basis of the recent BLUE BEETLE film. A poor kid using stolen tech to protect his neighborhood against ICE.
neutral · AI labelView post →After watching Blue Beetle last night, I have a suggestion for filmmakers: Don’t shove the comic creator "thanks" at the very end of your credits like an afterthought. These are the people who CREATED THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS you’re building your movie on. Show them the respect they deserve.
negative · AI labelView post →Not saying anything about its quality. I never saw it. But just stunned myself remembering that there was a Blue Beetle movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just rewatched Blue Beetle with @marzgurl.com and showed my sister the movie for the first time. This is the superhero movie I wish 5 year old me could have seen growing up. I loved this movie already, but even more so now, especially given the current climate of things here in the US.
positive · AI labelView post →[DC] Blue Beetle Movie Scarab gives Jaime's package a BIG upgrade Available L I N K 👇 #DC #dccomics #BlueBeetle #JaimeReyes #NSFW
neutral · AI labelView post →I actually really liked the Blue Beetle film, but you would need a PhD in metaphysics to understand what the fuck is going on in the DCU continuity.
neutral · AI labelView post →Thrilled Xolo is coming back as Blue Beetle in Man of Tomorrow His casting as Jaime was genuinely on par with just about any superhero casting call out there, the suit looks INCREDIBLE, and the movie was a fun little time
positive · AI labelView post →Blue Beetle was honestly fun. If this was a decent world it would be the kind of movie that makes a huge comeback on DVD. Xolo Maridueña made me believe Dragon Ball Z was real.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Blue Beetle for the first time, pretty solid superhero movie where when they focus on the Reyes family its at its best. It should've gotten more love during its release but the strikes were happening. Also politically its more hard hitting now with what's happening in the US
positive · AI labelView post →'Man of Tomorrow': Xolo Maridueña to Return as Blue Beetle in James Gunn's Sequel.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a pity WB gave up on teen/young adult programming and never really had a venue for live-action shows for that demographic. There are plenty of DC characters just rife for that market. I know they want to revisit Blue Beetle, and after watching Kamen Rider ZEZTZ so far, they really should.
neutral · AI labelView post →We’re joined by filmmaker Chris Bell to talk about Blue Beetle, easily the best euthanasia-period DCEU movie and one I am told is about a guy who is more popular than Iron Man if you’re going by children’s merchandise. LINK BELOW ⬇️🇲🇽🪲
neutral · AI labelView post →That Blue Beetle movie gotta be given some kinda honorary prize for being the first DC movie in years to not be the epicenter of some insane drama or lead actor meltdown.
positive · AI labelView post →TOP 10 COMIC BOOKS # 5 CAPTAIN ATOM 83, vol.2 This is the 1966 first appearance of Ted Kord, Blue Beetle. $73(F+) ⬆️ $28 🔥🔥🔥🔥 News broke that an animated series will pick up where the Jaime Reyes, Blue Beetle movie ended. The plot? The search for Ted Kord! Don’t overpay for the “Modern” reprint! 💫
neutral · AI labelView post →Scrolling through Netflix, looking for something to watch, and it's always funny to be jump-scared by the existence of a movie that I'd otherwise completely forgotten about. I literally almost just said aloud: "They made a Blue Beetle movie!? In 2023!?"
neutral · AI labelView post →when Blue Beetle pulled out the Buster Sword in the recent movie I seal-clapped I haven't even played FF7!
neutral · AI labelView post →So, Blue Beetle is technically the first DCU movie. I'm more than happy about that.
positive · AI labelView post →The BLUE BEETLE film did this for me. I loved Jaime Reyes and his family so much, I wanted more time with them through the comics!
positive · AI labelView post →The abuela in the Blue Beetle movie was one of my absolute favorite parts, in no small part because she was an abuela and treated by the film the way an abuela should be treated.
positive · AI labelView post →Blue Beetle and Booster Gold as a film series: (hear me out) The Blue & The Gold 2 Blue 2 Gold Blue & Gold: Palmera Drift (this one's about Jaime) Blue & Gold Blue 5 Gold 6 Gold 7 The Fate of the Gold Blue & Gold Presents: Guy & Lobo B9: The Blue Saga Blue X I await your call, James Gunn.
neutral · AI labelView post →73. Blue Beetle (2023) 🎥 | 1️⃣ second half of this movie is genuinely one of the best superhero films i’ve seen in a long time. this one got done so dirty man 9 / 10
positive · AI labelView post →I would love Xolo Maridueña and John Cena to have movie together as Blue Beetle and Peace Maker The original run of Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle has a lot of Christopher Smith as he Mentor like figure
neutral · AI labelView post →Its weird to think there was a time you could count superhero films on two hands and now I just realized their was an entire Blue Beetle film that looked pretty good but I forgot existed.
unlabelledView post →Ehhh. Misogyny didn't hurt the Barbie movie, or countless others recently. And how do you explain The Flash, Shazam, Blue Beetle and Ant-Man 3?
unlabelledView post →A couple years back, all the movie theaters sold tickets for $1 as a promotional thing I barely squeezed into a sold out screening of Blue Beetle, a movie that had not been making bank It was all families Laurie’s incredibly right, price is the biggest factor in getting butts in seats
unlabelledView post →Review - "BLUE BEETLE" (2023) BTW - What's with the industry doom-and-gloom about the "box-office take" of a totally solid little movie they were originally going to **GIVE AWAY FOR F---ING FREE** on HBOMax? www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYVB... #BlueBeetle #BlueBeetleMovie
unlabelledView post →It’s Monday, need coffee, here’s news: Barbie unseated as top film by Blue Beetle. This feels sexist. Ron Cephas Jones, best known for winning a Tony for Clyde and his role on This is Us, died at 66 (Caught the news as entertainment was starting, stay tuned for more!)
unlabelledView post →I'm still vindicated by default thanks to Man of Tomorrow, Blue Beetle is technically the first DCU movie. That movie was unfairly kicked to the curb in 2023 but I'm glad the character and Xolo Maridueña have returned.
unlabelledView post →Seeing Blue Beetle with the $4 movie thing tomorrow, feels like exactly the kind of “probably pretty fun” thing to use that for

unlabelledView post →I didn’t expect to be so happy reading this! BLUE BEETLE (2023) isn’t an *amazing* movie but it’s decent - and way better than every other DC film that came out around it (though that isn’t saying much)
unlabelledView post →Blue Beetle is really fun, definitely the first time I’ve heard the School of the Americas referenced in a superhero movie
unlabelledView post →We got 3 Venom movies. 3 Venom movies before a single project for Spider-Woman or Black Cat. 3 Venom movies before a single Flash film. 3 Venom movies, that all made money while The Marvels, Blue Beetle, and Supergirl flopped. 3 Venom movies, but only 2 Wonder Woman films (with the second being ass)
unlabelledView post →Heck yeah. Absolutely loved BLUE BEETLE and I hope we get to see more of his family soon. variety.com/2026/film/ne...
unlabelledView post →I've now watched every Superman film and spinoff movie, the old film serials, a bunch of the radio show, his 60s and 80s cartoons, My Adventures with Superman, finished Superman & Lois, and rewatched James Gunn's other DC projects along with The Batman, The Penguin, and Blue Beetle.

unlabelledView post →Mom: "What are you reviewing this week?" Me: "It's a superhero film called Blue Beetle..." Mom: "THEY REMADE THE MARLENE DIETRICH MOVIE?!?" Me: ... Me: "That's BLUE ANGEL, mom." Mom: "Oh. Never mind." Me: "But now I want that movie."

unlabelledView post →I keep forgetting they made a Blue Beetle movie. I should watch that.
unlabelledView post →Blue Beetle, a movie that was done so dirty by WB and could have been a big hit.
unlabelledView post →I have never read Blue Beetle or watched the film, so guess what I am doing tonight!
unlabelledView post →A reminder that Bruna Marquezine was in Blue Beetle and that alongside the rest of the supporting cast of the movie, James Gunn should absolutely bring her back whenever Blue Beetle debuts in the new DCU. 🪲🩵
unlabelledView post →I honestly did have the most fun watching the Blue Beetle movie because it was the most standalone DCEU movie and letting it tell its own story. Hopefully Blue Beetle can be brought back for more movies
unlabelledView post →Was inspired to do a new Blue Beetle piece after watching the movie! Wanted to do a homage to one of my fave covers by Cully Hamner
unlabelledView post →The only other characters who weren't from Superman 2025 in this movie so far are John and Blue Beetle. We don't even know who Adria Arjona is supposed to be playing outside of EDUCATED guesses. He's just saying don't expect Batman to swoop in as a last hail mary in the third act
unlabelledView post →Jimmy I just want a Normal Superman movie for once BUT if Blue Beetle is in MoT then I will start calling you James again
unlabelledView post →Finally got around to watching the Blue Beetle movie. I love Jaime 💙
unlabelledView post →that's cool that they're making another Blue Beetle movie and all but isn't there another "Blue Beetle" you're forgetting about?
