I am so excited to see this movie. Xolo is the perfect choice to play Jaime.

[@briankao6833]

Overall the trailer made blue beetle really cool

[@LeonardoKlotz]

It looked generic

[@tvirus9369]

​@@LeonardoKlotz you look like a generic white guy 🤣

[@zzirfamo24]

@@LeonardoKlotzstfu and stop hating, it definitely looked good

[@joshuamohlman]

The movie definitely looks like it has a lot of potential

[@chheinrich8486]

A lot of Potential that both the director and the actors emidiatly squashed by stupid comments we have heard too often from hollywood by now and are sick of

[@dynaguy3]

The scarab is really up there with a Green Lantern power ring as far as being one of the most powerful weapons in The DC universe

[@donpatchey3178]

Didn't know that im just getting hip on this character

[@BenE8844]

Did you know that Tech Jacket’s origin is more similar to Green Lantern with a bit of an Ironman type twist?

[@JJ-oq3tz]

Blue Beetle is such a cool character in the DC Comics and Films in all of the DC Superheroes. I love Jamie Reynes as The Blue Beetle!!

[@ianbrennan9635]

I first encountered Blue Beetle on "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" in 2008. I've been a fan of the character ever since.

[@baliyae]

I encountered him on Smallville.

[@gloydorangeboar3136]

same here.

[@seanjohn3498]

Can't wait for this movie looks great .

[@anhilliator1]

Honestly going in the direction of Toku style is the best thing they could have done for this character.

[@tanaka7341]

Finally blue beetle gets a movie

[@jamalvargas6146]

Funny Thing I Was Introduced To Blue Beetle In 2008's Batman The Brave and The Bold voiced by Will Friedle who also voiced Terry McGinnis in Batman Beyond

[@mcurran6505]

Same here. I'm surprised a character like him hasn't had his own TV series yet.

[@obaolade1232]

i just hope we see BB to his full potential in the movie

[@marcusyates3044]

Jamie Reyes: "Think you can ever see me being a hero, Paco? You know like, on a poster up in some kid's bedroom?"

[@coopdamenace3891]

Loved batman the brave and the bold

[@supersonicheroes]

That was the first time I ever saw Blue Beetle.

[@Optimusprime809]

I wanted Xolo to either play Blue Beetle or Sam Alexander Nova, I'm glad one of those happened!

[@philrm99]

Can't wait for the release.

[@willbroccolo8389]

GREAT VIDEO!..... as always. I love your channel.

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Blue Beetle in the Comics? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@johnnyfountainS]

The Blue Beetle's family is similar to Darkhawk's family.

[@ivangomez123]

One of my favorite heroes of DC!! You had a gift and a curse one you had that scarab. And I like Jaime Reyes become my favorite.

[@Jinnkris7]

Blue beetle can know his opponents weaknesses. He broken.

[@GabrielSantos-pz7mh]

Yup. And adapt himself everytime.

[@bossun4497]

I'm not gonna watch an origin video without the watchmojo intro

[@allenjones8590]

I want a blue beetle video game, asap, 45% of the game literally plays for you.

[@aidanhever3369]

Since my version of Cyborg is one of the founding members of the Justice League, Blue Beetle will take his place as one of the founding members of Teen Titans.

[@sonicguyver7445]

Makes me sad that the movie didn't do well. I really liked it. For years I was on the fence about this version of Blue Beetle until one picture changed my opinion. It was a piece of fanart with Blue Beetle next to Guyver 1. Suddenly Blue Beetle was awesome.

[@killeing]

FINALLY! ITS BEEN FOREVER SINCE WE HAD ONE OF THESE!!!

[@nobodynoonenowhere5609]

He's an Emotional Damage kind of Super hero!😂😂😂

[@yourlocalentertainmentchan9153]

0:26 I would test my weapons out on some big rocks. I would also admire my new form as a bionic bug being.

[@ilankalai6766]

This movie trailer I rated number 1 on my chart😊

I wish I want to cosplay as blue beetle

My 3rd favorite DC character and my 7th comic character!

[@goatgaming4788]

Hopefully it’ll be a good DC movie unlike some of the recent ones

[@LeonardoKlotz]

It has the writer from a movie called MISS BALA

[@dwaynegaskill]

Looks interesting

[@BrandonKohout]

The scarab has chosen Jaime Reyes to defend Earth.

[@TITANMAN251]

I hope the Movie Blue Beetle has a Place both the new DCU and with Booster Gold, Green Lantern, Batman, and the Justice League!

[@marnerbroman]

How long were you sitting on this?

[@jbp9653]

I can't wait for Jaime to burn off Damians face off when they meet in Phase 2 of James Guns run

[@coolnegative]

Not sure if it's the same one or not, but there is a pre-code public domain comic of "the blue beetle."

[@topazlynx2228]

What would be the first thing I did if I had a Blue Beetle suit? I'd make more of different colours so we could all be Power Rangers!

[@xavierrobinson808]

Does it feel wired to have alien technology on his back?

[@MADBD619]

Isn’t this an updated version of the original one over here? Might want to properly update the title, Watchmojo!

[@lilbladeknight]

I miss infinite crisis.

Zatanna Zatara deserves a Movie or TV Series in Live Action just as Much as Blue Beetle desvered one in the DC Cinamatic Universe or also DC Aniamted Superheroes Universe's!

[@bat_spider616]

You already made an origin video for Blue Beetle

I wonder if they’ll Shazam this in a few months.

The scarab beetle 🪲 is mostly in North Africa, never heard of them being in Mexico 🇲🇽 but it’s not far fetched

[@DemiDemon94]

I hope the scarab has the same attitude as the comics n young justice. I honestly love how Jaime is constantly wrestling with his "inner demon" tho im surprised they went with a female voice since the scarab has always been male b4, jaime/Blue Beetle is my favorite DC character n as a fellow Latino means alot too me I hope they do his character justice n don't F it up like they been doing. "Think Jimminy Cricket with a really bad attitude."

[@oliviamiller1388]

What about a Red Beetle, Purple Beetle, and or also Yellow Beetle for in the future for seeing in DC Comics for a Blue Beetles own Superheroes Team for the DC Comics Superhero Universe's!

[@thecontinuousone3183]

With the strength of reach Khajida!

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think the live action version of Jamie_Reyes Blue Beetle is going to be like in the DCEU or DCU compared to the one we saw in the Smallville TV Show?

[@marcjameswhelan6231]

Bot spammer loser

[@dboii9741]

Way better than in smallville😂 the cgi was absolutely terrible. The suit in the movie is completely practical

[@mutt777]

Latino Guyver is pretty cool.

[@anthonyness5360]

Come on why didn't you at least showd scenes from the trailer at the end!

[@klloydplata4098]

I think Marvel comicbooks Scarlet Scarab is much stronger and powerful than DC comics blue beetle because she is defensive metal wings.

Didn’t you already do this video?

[@mcurran6505]

Here's hoping this movie is actually good after some disappointments like Shazam 2 & Black Adam.

[@ZombiZohm]

Black Adam was bad because the rock was in it. Shazam 2 was bad because Black Adam wasn't in it thanks to the Rock. Neither movie had a jungle scene, right? Perhaps the rock is only good in movies with a jungle

[@mikailthomas1466]

Is Ted Kord a mentor to Jamie_Reyes in using the Scarab? What type of relationship do those two have?

[@guitaralligator7250]

Jaime Reyes got the scarab after Ted Kord died.

Jaime Reyes: "Blue Beetle, at your service!"

[@UncleOf5]

It's funny how Blue Beetle still getting movie. Yet when other DC Comic characters get there live action movies canceled

[@lancekidder9011]

But is it gonna matter though James Gunn is doing a compete reboot that's why Dwayne is done as black adam.

[@Stretchjr85]

Trailer looks cool Wonder why they shelved the batgirl movie a well known character and kept blue a lesser known character

[@rossman8919]

most likely there was a contract or something that prevented it

Darkhawk has the power to knockout the Blue Beetle and Venom.

[@GabrielSantos-pz7mh]

Venom? Yeah, but Blue beetle? Nah. He has a cosmic techno-magical symbiotic exoskeleton that can create anything and do anything (any power) because he's one with the suit. The scarab Kaji-Da is the most powerful weapon of The reach Empire (the sworn enemies of the guardians of the universe) which by the way is also magical (from Earth by powerful wizards in ancient Egypt). It was confirmed by Josh trujillo (the writer of Blue beetle) that Kaji-Da is the most powerful artifact/weapon in the whole DC universe fuced to Jaime's spine.

You can say that Max steel took inspiration from him.

Hi! Though you might think I’m a bot, I’m real and though that’s what a bot would say why would they waste their time with this message. So here I write to you, yes you, how are you? Truly i want to know, I will reply to any comments to this. Blue beetle was my favourite comic book character when I was younger I brought every comic of the NEW52, I would love to know how you feel about him as a character? Even if you don’t reply I appreciate you taking the time to read, I’m wishing you all the best for the future and I’ll always be here if you need.

[@klloydplata4098]

DC comics blue beetle movie did NOT win any DC comics fans love because how the character been doing the "been there done that" from the MCU's live-action Iron-man.

Is Blue Beetle similar to Max Steel? Who do you think is his Marvel counterpart?

It has good cgi unlike the recent marvel and dc movies and also it seems comic accurate. If it was a Synder movie, he would have made it more serious than necessary. Critics are appreciating it
