"But I'm actually upset at how much fun I'm having with this game" HA HA HA no Anyone who's "played" this "game" for more than fifteen minutes will tell you, it's just the same thing, over and over again, and it plays itself so the only thing you're really doing is gear management (the boring part of Diablo, RPGs, etc.) and clicking "do the dungeon" again. And again. And again. In the hopes you'll buy Premium Gacha Spins for a chance at "rare" characters to grind tedium with.

According to my friend who is also a comic book writer, "No one knew who owned the rights." Which pretty much summarizes the craziness with the radio show rights. You never know what heirs to radio play would just come out of the woodwork. Best to wait until those rights lapse. So in other words, they didn't know who owned him for media, but they knew when it expired.

[@onbearfeet]

Coming from the old-time radio fandom ... yup. Episodes of Blue Beetle circulated widely online as far back as the early 2000s (and let me tell you, they are INSANE to listen to), so obviously nobody was keeping very close tabs on the show, but a more high-profile use like an appearance in a DCAU cartoon could have set off an alarm in some lawyer's office somewhere.

[@amelialonelyfart8848]

Reminds me of how a person recently claimed to be the heiress of an old comic writer and claimed ownership over the Green Lama, a fairly obscure golden age hero whose main call to fame lately was appearing in an all public domain team. I don't think the person ever did anything with Lama since.

I LOVED the Blue Beetle's short film of the DC Showcase collection. It was great to see Ted and the other heroes that made up the "proto-Watchmen" in an adventure that mimicked the style of the '60s Spider-Man series.

[@NIDELLANEUM]

I remember when the TV show Arrow kept teasing the character of Ted Kord, because the producers wanted him to appear in the show's third season. However, they were told that "they had other plans for the character", so they had to replace him with a version of Ray Palmer's Atom that was definitely inspired by Blue Beetle. It was also clear that they didn't initially consider having Ray Palmer because they even had his longtime love interest Jean Loring in the previous season, and there weren't even attempts in tying the two together. I always found it rather weird how Arrow couldn't have used Blue Beetle in 2014 because of "other plans" that turned out to be a movie that's literally coming out *NOW*, almost a decade later. However, I now wonder if the legal issues you've mentioned in the video are the actual reason. Like, Smallville got to use him for an episode, but it would have been an issue if he was going to show up for an entire story arc, especially one that led to a spin-off in which he could have been a main character. It would make much more sense than WB saying "we have other plans" and then only unfolding those plans 10 years later

[@JamesLawner]

I remember how there were plans for a Jaime Reyes!Blue Beetle show, and there was even test footage shown at Comic-Con like a decade ago (this was some years after the Smallville version, and maybe that's why Arrow couldn't use the character then?)

[@atlasrises4]

I remember watching at the time and the episode Ray pops up they actively avoided having characters on screen say his name. They were clearly fighting for that chance until the last second.

[@NIDELLANEUM]

It could make sense as well. After all, Smallville had Blue Beetle and Booster Gold in its final episodes as a backdoor pilot. However, that Booster Gold show was meant to be in the Arrowverse, since he was making references to Arrow.@@JamesLawner

[@NIDELLANEUM]

Yeah, and Arrow's season one mentioned "Ray and Jean", so they could have at least "masked" that by showcasing that Brandon Routh's character *was* that Ray. Sure, the actress who played Jean Loring was in her 50s, while Routh was in his 30s, but there could have been other ways around, like "yeah in this continuity he's Ray Palmer JUNIOR"@@atlasrises4

The Ted Kord Blue Beetle is my favorite DC hero. He was Batman with a cheery disposition and no sidekicks. My other favorites were Captain Marvel (Shazam), The Spectre (Jim Corrigan), The Huntress (Helena Bertinelli), and The Martian Manhunter. I especially enjoyed the tongue-and-cheek JLA International. I love Guy Gardner, Maxima, and Fire too. Not to forget Bloodwynd . . . he was very cool and, unfortunately, mostly forgotten.

[@Saintbow]

Ted Kord BB will always be the best Blue Beetle. The guy survived Doomsday in the comics. He is the reason the JLI became popular and stayed afloat during the late 80's and 90's. Plus, he's the first hero to fight a eating disorder/weight issues.

If there's one thing that continues to keep me invested in DC and Marvel media over the years, it's that I'm always learning something new as far as getting to be more familiarized with their decades long assortment of different characters from the pages of the comics. It is a shame to know that Blue Beetle had been stuck in sort of a legal limbo around the time I was watching JLU on TV, preventing me from being able to get any real introduction to him then like the DCAU had given me for other characters, but at least now we can say they've been freed enough to actually be seeing him get his own big budget movie adaptation. I more than welcome seeing WB really pull from their vast well of DC characters that could be brought to screen outside of just the most famous ones like Batman and Superman, and I'll certainly be interested in giving Blue Beetle's new movie a watch when I have the opportunity.

The one character I truly wanted to see more than anyone was Plastic Man, though, and he got even less respect than BB.

Why not “will-it-canon” each standalone story? I mean, aside from how time-consuming that might be (even if it could make for easier-to-research, more frequent Will It Canons 😅)

I would recommend the Charlton comics and the first eight or so issues of Len Wein's run if you've not read them. They're super fun. They're still some of my favorite comics.

I would’ve loved to see Cassandra Cain in the DCAU and how the continuation of the batgirl mantle would’ve been handled especially along stories like mystery of the Batwoman or even in the beyond time of the DCAU

[@digitaltailsmon4096]

Honestly this was a thing I was sadden by after really learning who the Blue Beatle was through Atop the 4th walls series on all three of the characters who took on the role. It’s just sad especially knowing that Booster was in the DCAU but not Ted. Especially cause their chemistry is great. But I will say Brave and the Bold did a great job tributing them

[@somerandomfan2096]

The Characters I Would LOVE❤️💕💗 To See Appear In The DCAU In The Future Are Cyborg Plastic Man Black Adam Batgirl/Cassandra Cain And Cassandra Cain DOES EXIST SOMEWHERE IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE DCAU What Are You’re Thoughts? & What Characters Do You Wanna See In The DCAU IN THE FUTURE!!?!?!??!?!?!

The real Blue Beetle was the friends we made along the way.

[@PosthumanHeresy]

Dan Garret also fought a mobster named Big Dix

[@RM-cn8pw]

To answer the question of the day, I’d like to see the Justice Society officially part of the proper canon DCAU, and see the DCAU’s Titans onscreen(or on page)

[@Dreadjaws]

Can't wait for your video on Nemesis.

[@BlueBeetle1939]

Garrett is usually long dead sadly. With how theyve brought back alan scott and jay garrick id like to see my favorite beetle get the same treatment

[@l0sts0ul89]

Maybe they could come up with "DC Classics" Using the long old comic characters, separate continuity and all

[@odistabettor]

I would still really love if we got a form of the Titans, especially now that Ms. Martian is in the DCAU.

[@Shaylok]

Make a movie based on an obscure hero that hardly anyone knows outside of the comics and you can fully expect an underwhelming performance at the box office.

[@dcauwatchtower]

Yeah like Iron Man

[@ChristopherJonesArt]

I was surprised and amused to find myself featuring so prominently in this video

[@dcauwatchtower]

Eyyyy, Chris!

[@ChristopherJonesArt]

@@dcauwatchtower Hi there!

[@gracericpizon3955]

My memories a little foggy but if he wasn’t in the dcau I would’ve loved to see spectre make an appearance in the show

[@dcauwatchtower]

He was in a couple issues of the tie-in comic, but never in the show! I agree!
