Blue Beetle & Booster Gold and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

 

I'm not sure what took so long, but it looks like Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are finally getting a team up comic together - Blue & Gold.  Is that a sign that DC and Warner Bros. have confidence in the heroic yet humorous duo?  A movie featuring the two was floated years ago, but nothing seemed to come of it.  Now there's a solo Blue Beetle movie in the works, but that looks to focus on Jaime Reyes.  Will Booster and Ted find a way into that project or elsewhere?  We will just have to wait and see.

Doctor Strange and The Shining Knight

 

It was a pleasant surprise to see Sir Justin, The Shining Knight, show up on the Stargirl series. I guess I should not have been surprised, as he was a major supporting character in the Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. comic book.  Hopefully in the second season his clouded memories will clear up and we can see him fully suited up for action.

Captain America Vs. Predator

Of all of the potential Predator vs. superhero battles, this is the one I think that I would most like to see.  It would definitely be a close match up. Both combatants are at their peak physical form and will do whatever it takes to win a fight.  I'm thinking that Cap would be standing at the end, but not before withstanding a lot of damage from his opponent.

Vigilante Vs. The Punisher in: "Judgment Delayed!"

I thoroughly enjoyed the third season of Daredevil on Netflix, and I hope that the days of the Marvel shows on that streaming service are not over.  The cancellations of both Luke Cage and Iron Fist and Disney/Marvel preparing a streaming service of their are foreboding signs, though.  At least we know we will get one more season each of Jessica Jones and The Punisher.

This is the third time these two have faced off on this blog - they last battled in STF #2291, and first met in STF #1547.

The Omega Men and Omega The Unknown

I remember thinking that The Omega Men were going to be the next big thing.  They were introduced in the pages of the then red-hot New Teen Titans in one of their coolest story arcs after all.  I think the reason that they never really got a chance to catch on is that their series was only available in DC's direct format.  I got my comics off the newsstand, so I never saw an issue for sale.  I still think they are a cool group and I am glad that DC has found a way to bring them back from time to time.
