Blue Beetle Vs. Dark Phoenix


Blue & Gold, a proposed buddy superhero movie starring Blue Beetle and Booster Gold was one of the many potential DC movies that was mentioned once and then never again.  Marvel has buddy show Falcon and the Winter Soldier as well as a She-Hulk show with comedic elements coming up, so maybe the suits at Warner Brothers should reconsider the concept for an HBO Max ongoing series instead. Just as long as the heroes are presented as capable - Ted and Booster can still be funny while still being effective heroes.

  1. I would get HBO Max if this was made a series or be first in line to buy a ticket. Shazam was comedic and was a big hit so they should reconsider.Love the cover.

  2. Funny cover but I curmudgeonly hate Beetle and Booster going from capable heroes to idiot buffoons.

  3. Another good title for this would've been "Blue & Grey: Civil Disturbance."

  4. Jean's next line could be,," Ted, how well would you be able to satisfy me in bed?" TED,"-I-I-I-I"
    JEAN,"Prove it."

    MIchael might get a make over, including a new name and revised origin.

    Ted has been done as a very smart feature player giving support - like in Blue Beetle. Not much real action in a while.

    DC/WB/AT&T might not believe the public could go for them. Where has live Booster been since his debut in SMALLVILE ?

  6. The tone of Blue and Grey could be identical to that of Legends of Tomorrow. Being (to borrow MHS' phrasing) competent heroes and idiot buffoons aren't necessarily mutually exclusive; Ray Palmer on the latter show was originally going to be Ted Kord.

    For today's cover, I kind of like the idea of Jean's line being, "See anything you like?" In any event, Jean turning into Ted's "surprise date from both heaven and hell" would be comics gold -- I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

  7. With that pose, Jean resembles one of the anti-heroines from the original Chaos! Comics.

    Here's an idea for a new team heroes with a color in the name like White Tiger, Red Tornado, Green Hornet, ect. & you could call the team the Color Guard.

    Would it be dangerous to say Jean looks to be SMOKING HOT ?

  16. Dark Phoenix was no angel and Ted Kord was no Peter Pan.

  17. Ugh. "Good" ol' Greg Land, and his horrible photo-tracing.

  18. @Ken: better him than the artwork of Franks Robbins and Springers. They're work on Detective Comics, back in the Seventies, made even Batman look like the Scarecrow!

    Definitely NOT a good thing.

  19. DC needs to make a Booster/Beetle movie, and they need to do it QUICKLY - it's not like Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk are getting any younger.

  20. At this point, Tiago, I think we have a better chance of seeing an Iron Man sequel starring Bruce Campbell in the title role.*

    *Dead serious remark, btw.
