On the subject of Gunn, the Comedian was essentially Peacemaker!Watching it I completely forgot how Night Owl from Watchmen is actually the OG Blue Beetle right down to Archie/The Bug.
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).Ted Kord didn't show in the movie, but hinted for a sequel. They had his 'batcave' and showed his suit that was perfect!
