Blue Beetle Film being Developed By DC Comics and Warner Bros

DC Comics and Warner Bros are developing a Blue Beetle superhero film. It will be written by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer. The film will be about the third Blue Beetle, Jamie Reyes.

The third Blue Beetle, created by DC Comics, is Jaime Reyes, a teenager who discovered that the original Blue Beetle scarab morphed into a battle suit allowing him to fight crime and travel in space. Over the years Reyes became a member of the Teen Titans and starred in two Blue Beetle comic series. In DC Comics’ 2011 “New 52” reboot, Jaime Reyes was the primary Blue Beetle character, only occasionally referring to past versions. However, with the subsequent continuity revision “DC Rebirth”, the previous versions were restored.
