16 years later, and the Blue Bettle will finally get his own DCEU movie. From Batman: the Brave and the Bold to Young Justice: Invasion, younger audiences began to discover the all-new Beetle. By 2006, he starred in his first self-titled series since 1986. The teenage Blue Beetle was an instant hit with fans.


Whether flying into space or forming space-age weapons, the new Blue Beetle was a major upgrade from the previous incarnations. In this version, the scarab created a suit that can basically do anything. It bonded with Jaime, giving the Blue Beetle newfound powers like never before. Instead of following Kord’s self-made superhero routine, the intergalactic scarab that had been dormant since 1966 would come to life. With the changing of the Blue Beetle guard from Kord to Reyes came a new direction for the character.
