Blue Beetle Is Officially Announced Back In The DCU

[@tmac326]

Blue Beetle was basically the first new DCU film. James Gunn said so himself but did say that the universe officially starts with Superman.

[@3CFilmsClips]

It will be my head canon but officially it’s not canon

[@kiwiangeldust6912]

It was part of the DCEU

[@marcusyates3044]

I believe Jaime Reyes DESERVES his own animated series! I mean, look at him Batman: the Brave and the Bold, Young Justice and the New 52 movies! I've been working on a fan-fiction solo series for Shazam! Some may do that first, but all I can do is dream...

[@redrocksvlogs]

Glad to see Xolo Maridueña back as Blue Beetle. He's definitely one of the best comic book castings ever made.

[@MarkITEXE]

I actually kinda want to see Blue Bettle animated. I LOVED what they did with him in Young Justice, So I cannot wait to see what James Gun has planned for him.

[@daimonatkins3046]

The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker Season One (minus the Justice League cameo) and Blue Beetle can all work into Gunn’s new shared universe as they feel disconnected enough from what came before and could acts as preludes to what is to come

[@flarestriker2005]

I agree

[@BusterBarnes]

True i don't see why this is so confusing for some

[@LikeGod_ButBetterLooking]

​@BusterBarnes because it is a soft reboot and the majority of audiences aren't engaged enough to know what has been said. Look at how many people got confused by Michael Keaton playing a Batman variant in the Flash, assuming that made Tim Burton's Batman films canon to that universe... Heck look how many people thought that Madame Web was part of the MCU including the lead actress... Gunn is shooting his own universe in the foot.

[@BusterBarnes]

​@LikeGod_ButBetterLooking I feel like noone is actually that confused and it's mainly comic book fans worried that casuals will get confused but truth is casuals don't actually care and will have forgotten certain things already.

[@demonteprice5870]

I think they already said Peacemaker season 2 is gonna hit the *refresh* button in some capacity, so to speak.

[@Lunapink93]

When I read that article I read it as they aren’t going to reboot ( tell the same story) and instead tell a new story that builds on the movie.

[@rayshawnwilliams5673]

yes I think that's exactly they need to do

[@benmalsky9834]

It’s only confusing to those who think too hard about it. For casual observers it’s no big deal.

[@GabrielSantos-pz7mh]

Exactly.😅

[@TheDrexLord]

I am kinda happy about this. The only other places he could have shown up were booster gold and or teen titians, be he wouldnt have been in the spot light in either. Also making it animated means that they can do the more wild stuff they couldnt do in a live action Tv show due to budget

[@rayshawnwilliams5673]

fuck yeah

[@nnycat106]

I’m totally ready for more Blue Beetle 😊

[@Socksydeeryenaboi]

I hope this animated series is In the DCU, I really hope Jaime Reyes is in the DCU Teen Titans

[@Baemon_pinkblink]

yes it is part of the dcu james has said this many times

[@billymoore7182]

Seeing an animated Blue Beatle series voiced by the same cast from the movie will be interesting.

[@rayshawnwilliams5673]

I think might be a different cast

[@rayshawnwilliams5673]

not thee same one from the movie

[@MrGoat7449]

In my opinion blue beetle was top 3 DC movies for me I really enjoyed it

[@ConnerAnimationsOfficial]

Cool to see Xolo is gonna return in the DCU I don't remember any DCEU references in his solo movie so it could be canon.

[@kiwiangeldust6912]

It's not canon. It's part of the DCEU

[@ConnerAnimationsOfficial]

@@kiwiangeldust6912 then how come they didn't do any references to that universe? I'm telling you it apart of the new DCU

[@Baemon_pinkblink]

@@ConnerAnimationsOfficial it is part of the dcu

[@GenerallDRK]

I don't see why his movie isn't cannon unless james wants a retro futuristic aesthetic across the entire DCU universe because BB movie can easily fit into the DCU with just a soft reboot needed.

[@CM1_SonicAndOtherStuff]

Let's see what james gunn cooks. I have a feeling what he's cooking is going to taste a little different from what we ate last time (the dceu).

[@Unk.B.]

It's still fucking Crazy how WONDER WOMAN does not have an animated show..

[@ericjohnson3140]

I want a movie about the L.A.W. I love the Question. Edit: Sorry for commenting on this twice. I thought it didn't work first time.

[@IamLegendaryguy1998]

He is coming back but as a cartoon show

[@GabrielSantos-pz7mh]

The director already confirmed that we will have more movies of him with bigger scale and everything. James Gunn said that he's going to be very important to the DCU.

[@pugman9672]

Blue beetle was such a low stakes movie that I don’t see they why they can’t just recon it into being in the new movie universe

[@rayshawnwilliams5673]

that might be harder for him to do

[@jacobfleming3926]

We’ve known this. I don’t know why people are confused. James confirmed this back in January 2023.

[@QuiwaSouza]

I kinda hope it’s 2D as a Homage to the BB movie end credit scene

[@Therealjoker44]

Hopefully we see ted kord and booster gold in it

[@JS-10]

Blue Beetle to become the Miles Morales/Spiderverse of the DCU? 👀

[@llaniii]

Wouldn’t Peter be that since he’s the face of marvel?

[@MatthewK122]

Just make blue beetle movie canon to dcu James Gunn. It's successful but at least movie told good stories and explored this dcu universe

[@BusterBarnes]

It basically is I doubt he just wants to say so general audience don't assume it as the first movie

[@dragonsword8129]

While I enjoyed the movie, I wouldn’t mind some adjustments to make it closer to the comic. Like letting Jaime live in El Paso, Texas. Or working his friends into the story. I’m kinda iffy on how the movie aged him up, but Xolo is perfect casting, so I can understand the decision.

[@stimswwolf7867]

It works because there was no Connection to the DCEU with that movie. It was a complete standalone movie that didn’t reference Henry Cavill Superman, or Ben Affleck’s Batman

So the DCU has it's Iron Man in Blue Beetle. Yea, his movie was kinda not bad at all. Would be cool if they would make a Teen Titans movie someday in the DCU.

Blue beetle came first before ironman actually so its the other way around

I always thought that the Blue Beetle movie adjacent to the DCU the same way Catwoman: Hunted was adjacent to Young Justice. The Blue Beetle series could have his dad could still die naturally, but Victoria Kord and Carapax could live.

[@rayshawnwilliams5673]

yeah maybe

That's crazy. Why not just keep that and build off of Blue beetle. Now what if Superman don't do good. What they gonna do start over? Blue Beetle did ok just start from there.

I think blue beetle should start the build to the teen titans movie.

[@JetsboyNY94]

Can't wait for the series! Loved the movie!

[@Jubtube_]

I feel only people who dont follow up are gonna be confused

[@demonteprice5870]

This show absolutely needs Paco and to delve a little more into the Kord disappearance absolutely, especially with Booster Gold coming up they could sew some connective tissue between the two shows with Ted Kord appearances, maybe.

[@rubbybandz]

It’s never stated that Xolo will be the lead, so my guess is that it’s about Ted Cord coming back and beefing or befriending Xolo’s beetle.

[@rayshawnwilliams5673]

boring

[@user-io9hj9ip2d]

How is any of this complicated? Nothing before the DCU is canon That's it, that's all. there's nothing confusing about it. Why is this so hard to understand for some people?

[@BusterBarnes]

It's not confusing at all the events from the movie happened in the new DCU. Also the movie had no connections to the DCEU anyway so what's so hard to understand?

[@3CFilmsClips]

James Gunn making the movie not canon and soft rebooting it with a animated show. You say it’s not confusing but you are confused lol

[@BusterBarnes]

​@3CFilmsClips It was literally reported the series builds on movie its not replacing it so I don't think I am the one confused lol. They're just going a different direction from were the movie ended

[@3CFilmsClips]

⁠@@BusterBarnes”builds on the movie WITHOUT TELLING THE SAME STORY” that means they’re redoing his origin in the DCU. If it was a continuation it would not need to clarify that it’s not doing the same story. This is why I brought up the Animated spider man show. It’s a retelling of Peter’s MCU story but with some characters & events changed. Same here . Nothing in the movie is canon like with Peacmaker season 1

[@3CFilmsClips]

@@BusterBarnesfor final proof James Gunn himself has said Blue Beetle is not canon. So it can not take place in the DCU “Nothing is canon until Creature Commandos next year - a sort of aperitif to the DCU - & then a deeper dive into the universe with Superman: Legacy after that” Source: www.cbr.com/james-gunn-confirm-xolo-mariduena-dcu/

[@BusterBarnes]

@@3CFilmsClips I see what you mean and could be correct but if I'm completely honest I just don't think Gunn wanted to say its canon even though it basically is as he wouldn't want people to think the DCU kicked off with and average movie.
