Warner Bros. is well known for developing plans for movies quite far in advance, particularly within the DC Extended Universe. The DCEU's upcoming slate includes a slew of outings that will forgo the theatrical experience in favor of a streaming release such as the mysterious project centered around Blue Beetle.

Having been in development since 2018, Blue Beetle will feature the new lead hero Jaime Reyes, who discovered the Blue Beetle scarab before gaining its abilities and a suit of armor. While the hero was previously seen in the long-running Smallville TV show, this will be Reyes’ first time in a starring role as he joins the ranks of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman within the DCEU.

Looks like it could be fun. Again, DC's not so clear direction takes a little bit off of anything DC for me at this point. I mean if this franchise isn't part of JG's future plans. Why get invested in it?

Not even bothering with the trailer. I'm suffering so much Marvel fatigue that I can't even start to have a care about DC stuff. Unless and until we get moar Peacemaker and Suicide Squad lol

WTF!!

"Seeing as Waller (along with Creature Commandos) are supposedly set to release as a bit of a DCU appetizer before it officially kicks off with Legacy, that could mean audiences could potentially see Peacemaker return sometime in late 2024, at the absolute earliest.

2025 or 2026 seem more likely though. The series still has a lot of work ahead of it, so if plans come together sooner rather than later a release either right before or shortly after Superman: Legacy's July 11, 2025, feels about right for Peacemaker Season 2."

One of the best opening sequences ever.

If this movie grosses more than 13 million opening week, I’ll be stunned.

Trailer looks great but I can’t see people buying in if it’s “old DC.”

Great opportunity to have the new Superman show up in a post credit scene, even if it’s just as Clark Kent.

I believe James Gunn announced this kicks off his universe.

I actually think that specific post-credit cameo would be a bad idea, given the recent Black Adam flop.

I like the actor from Cobra Kai, George Lopez, and some others. Not as much a DC fan as I am a Marvel fan, but I think we'll see this in the theaters just because it was written by a Mexican writer, directed by a Mexican director, stars a Mexican (or Latino or Hispanic - whatever terms you/they prefer) cast of actors. It's DC's first ever "Latino Superhero." Too bad it's going to just get dismissed by so many.

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. Hopefully they have more than one movie planned.
