Live action Blue Beetle show based on the newest Blue Beetle in DC.  The comic was [tornado fang]ing awesome, and I was so sad when it was canceled. I'm hoping this show bring the comic back. 

Jaime still has had quite a good fate when it comes to appearances. Booster Gold, JL: Generation Lost...

He's on the Titans too, if I recall.

Man, I wish Geoff would come back to that.  Heh, or Peter David.

I never was too fond of the Titans, honestly... never found an arc I actually liked, and honestly, just don't own any Titans comics. Just read a few loose ones along the years.

I loved Young Justice, and I liked when Geoff was writing the Teen Titans for a while.

I'll have to try and read it. Shouldn't we put these things in the comics topic? =P Nobody's posted there but me for awhile.

Hmmm.
That looks kind of friggin' awesome.
Never read anything of the Blue Beetle tough.
Heck, I don't even know anything about him.

Suggest that you do. All Blue Beetles have been completely different from each other, and 100% AWESOME.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the upcoming "Young Justice" animated show. Anyone have any thought on it?

[Protoman Blues]

I'm looking forward to it.  Here's hoping it's good and as funny as the comic.

[Bueno Excelente]

Me too. But if you ask me, I've got waaaaay more expectations on the Green Lantern animated series. I seriously hope they don't make it a CG show.

You should watch some of the other DCAU movies. That one's just a (slightly better) version of the first arc of Superman/Batman by Jeph Loeb (the last slightly-good thing he did before he went insane). You should try and watch movies like Wonder Woman, Green Lantern: First Flight or Justice League: The New Frontier. They're all really awesome.

What about Crisis on Two Earths? Talking Firestorm FTW!

Crisis on Two Earths was good. A solid movie. It just... well, it just doesn't hold a candle to the original concept and execution of the comic. =P It's DIFFERENT, just that.

I'm still waiting on the GL show, but obviously I'm looking forward to it.  I just want more details on it first before the hype level gets higher.

With aaaaaaaaall the good arcs they could do, why Supergirl? Only reason I bought that TPB was because of Michael Turner art. I'd love to see a Flash, or Aquaman animated movie.

[Protoman Blues]

Well I did like the Supergirl arc in Bats/Supes.  Actually, his arcs tending to go downhill from there a bit for that particular comic.

I agree though that they need to branch out with more characters.

You know what would be commercially good for them right now? Blue Beetle movie.

Considering that they could get new fans to watch the upcoming live action show, I agree.

I'm with you though in a desire to see an animated Flash movie.  Super-speed is still the best power there is.

To be brutally honest, my nickname's for laughs. Flash isn't exactly my favorite hero, but I think he has a TON of potencial. And heck, like I said, he actually got good in the 90's. How many characters not only SURVIVED the 90's lameness, but GOT GOOD as well? He's got an incredible potencial to be a great hero, as JL and Next Frontier showed in their superspeed scenes. Just get Geoff Johns or Mark Waid writing it, and it'll be awesome.

GL is my favorite DC hero, but Super-speed has always been my favorite super power of them all.

GL has been VERY good recently, ever since Rebirth. (and Kyle's always had good stories in the JLA) But a few of the stories in-between grand events started off not as good as the big epic ones. Everything leading up to Blackest Night was class, though, and Brightest Day seems quite good so far. I just hope they start developing more of the characters we have so far before introducing any new ones. Setting up how the new regular canon will be, I mean.

Superspeed allows authors to do pretty much ANYTHING. Wally's gonna die? Outrun death by running into the future so fast that the concept of death no longer has meaning. Barry's in space, far above the Earth? Make him vibrate in time, bringing the Earth to him through regular rotation. Superspeed's one of those powers where the heroes have to get creative with its use. That's what makes Flash books good.

It would be nice if they did a whole 3 part DC animated movie involving Rebirth, Sinestro Corps War, and Blackest Night.

Wouldn't really be worth it, because the amount of stuff they'd have to cut would be just too much. I mean, who's the Anti-Monitor? Superboy-Prime? Parallax? Stuff like that is well explainable in comics, but in a visual medium like movies, it would need something like an actual series. Not just that, but considering it consists of huge DC crossovers would have to get tons upon tons of story along the way. I'd love it, myself, but it would be just too hard to make good. Look at how Superman/Doomsday turned out, and that didn't need alot of story. They pretty much cut everything.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah I know. It'd just be something I'd like to see animated. 

I'd love to see the JLA story Tower of Babel animated as well.  Or Morrison's JLA New World Order story arc as well.
