Blue Beetle Live Action Show in Development?

user posted image

Geoff Johns, DC Entertainment's recently appointed Chief Creative Officer, seems to be very excited on his Twitter Account this morning about some developments for the DC Comics character the Blue Beetle, specifically the newest incarnation of the long-running character who first appeared way back in 1939 in "Mystery Men Comics" #1.  In recent years, the scarab suit has been worn by teenager Jaime Reyes after Ted Kord, the Silver Age Blue Beetle, was murdered by Maxwell Lord.

According to Johns, it is the Reyes character that would be featured in a live action show, having been introduced on the animated "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" last year with plans to play a larger part on the show. The first stage of development in a live action show are recent tests to replicate how Reyes might activate his suit from the magical scarab that attached itself to his spine after Kord's death.

Live Action Blue Beetle Test Images

Images from a special effects test for a live-action Blue Beetle have debuted online, courtesy of DC Comics' Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns.

Johns just updated his official blog with the images below and the following note:

"I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Blue Beetle’s introduction way back in INFINITE CRISIS. I’ve said it before, but thanks to the BLUE BEETLE series launched by Keith Giffen and John Rogers with a great design by Cully Hamner, Jaime Reyes rocks. Great character, great story, great look. He’s already appeared in animation, had action figures and right now he’s on my computer in live-action glory. I have an early special effects test that has been floating around of what his armored scarab-suit could look like. This isn’t final. This isn’t greenlit. It’s only a test that was done. We still have a long way to go to see if we can get this off the ground and a lot of people to jump on board…but check out some stills."
