Blue beetle. Sigh. I forgot they did that movie. They really made such a ok movie to such a great character. And he looked great imo.
 
Blue Beetle was a fun watch. Funny though the movie is 100% just a reskin of the first Shazam movie. Watching it I completely forgot how Night Owl from Watchmen is actually the OG Blue Beetle right down to Archie/The Bug.

As for Creature Commandos, it was fun. I didn't expect that last death, but yea, it was sad. But yea, this was a fun series.

On the subject of Gunn, the Comedian was essentially Peacemaker!

Ted Kord Beetle is one of my favorite all-time comic characters, and I have been disappointed by the fact that in both animated and live action worlds DC has gone with the young alien hybrid Beetle over the Kord version. Even in the Brave and the Bold cartoon. But with Gunn we may very well see him, as we are supposedly getting a Booster Gold series, and we already are getting Guy Gardner.
 
Ted Kord didn't show in the movie, but hinted for a sequel. They had his 'batcave' and showed his suit that was perfect!

As for Booster, man, they should have cast Glenn Powell. He would have been perfect! He also had a bit part in TDKR. During the stock exchange part, he is the one that Bane slams his head down on a keyboard lol.

Yeah, that was great. Similarly, in the Brave and the Bold cartoon they talk about Kord as a great hero and inspiration, and his ship is still around as I remember, but the only character who actually gets stories is Jaime Reyes. I appreciate that they gave attention to a Latino hero, but it's a shame that it all comes out of a stupid move in the comics to kill off Kord just to build hype for a pretty lame and forgettable comic series (retconning and ruining the character of Maxwell Lord in the process).

And that's a good call on casting Booster. 10 years ago Nathan Fillion would have been perfect. 20-30 years ago Bruce Campbell!
