Most people never heard of either of them.

Because, those movies were made under previous regime.

I don't think even Gunn has enough clout to ask WB to shut down them and never to release.

If Blue Beetle out performs Mutant Mayhem, I will cackle.

His Tweets are funny in their bluntness:

Why the heck did Blue Beetle’s direction feel the need to psycho-analyze and deconstruct Bane if he’s not even in the movie?

[Sumac]

Blue Beetle director got high on his own farts and decided to attack random character.

Imagine being such attention seeking whore and retarded pathetic fool, you think working on a ****** movie about C rate character no-one gives a **** about, makes you important enough to provide opinion about other characters. And from the same company you're working on. no less.

Beetle of the brain on a full display here.

Also, "that's a lot of horseshit" is a most appropriate answer in this situation or for the most accusations of leftards.

Honestly though, the only thing that resonated with me about Bane was that

1- He broke the Bat

2- He was the new modern-day Batman villain of the 90's that became a classic. Joker and Catwoman were around for years but for many of us 90's kids, we were 'there' when Bane was created and made his big debut.

His race never meant a thing to me.

It didn't until I read "Vengeance of Bane," which is his first appearance and origin. He's supposed to come from the DC fictional version of Cuba with some very Castro/Cuba-like underpinings, and cultural stuff with Bane and his mother. Sure, you could make him come from Russia or something in the same way you could have Bruce Wayne come from Zaire, but it seems pretty fundamental in the character.

But no, the socio-political stuff the Blue Beetle guy was trying to grasp at for his Bane movie pitch don't exist anywhere in the source material or the creators' intentions. But the race itself, yes.

How is it supposed to do that? So far it looks like it is going to be a complete box office disaster. It might make as little money in total as Mutant Mayhem in it's opening week. And on a much higher budget.

It may be somewhat interesting, but we'd have to look at it on a sliding scale, comparatively.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I'm still somewhat interested in this movie. It may not be good but hopefully it'll be entertaining.

Because he is doing his neo-privldged, "that's ours!" thing that liberal-POCs do nowadays to create an atmosphere of pride-via-outrage instead of finding any positivity that lingers in the culture on it's own merits.

Post Credit Scene have been revealed.

The First one will be of interest to Comic Fans

In the movie, we're told that the villainous Victoria Kord's son Ted, aka the original Blue Beetle in the comics, had vanished without a trace while conducting some kind of experiment, and is presumed dead. Then, in the first stinger, we hear a message from Ted come through (possibly from an alternate dimension?). We don't actually see his face, but he makes it clear that he is Ted Kord, and asks that if anyone can hear his voice that they let his daughter know that he's alive.

It's been gaining some ground and might make as much as 30 million in its opening weekend.

Wow, that's going to blow the roof off the theater when everyone sees that.

Surely it would benefit somewhat from a low-competition month as regards big-budget new releases.
Looks like WB really is trying hard with TV commercials, so they ain't giving up on it entirely.

I only seen Blue Beetle (Jaime version) in certain comics where he cameoed or crossed over alongside others like Miss Martian and Damian, and in them he was mostly just a dude. Y'know, a superhero. He might use the occasional Spanish word, but his entire personality wasn't HEY ESE, I'M HISPANIC, LOOK HOW HISPANIC I AM HOMES, WHERE THE TACOS AT, CAUSE ALL WE EAT ARE TACOS, MANG' and whatnot.

I was talking about Bane in that bit, but you are correct in that way just the same. And myself being Hispanic, the best thing I can point to is Kyle Rayner, the Green Lantern of the 90s. Like all of the 90s almost, into the 2000s. He was my guy, he brought me in. And he was introduced as a white guy. What did Judd Winnick do, around #150 or so of vol. 3 (for reference, Kyle showed up in #51 of the volume)? Make his dad suddenly a Mexican guy. My first reaction was, this feels like pandering and dumb, but OK, whatever, I'll accept it. But on no level whatsoever was this like a, "Wow!! Here I am on the comic page! Validated at last!" because that seemed stupid and weak and I knew it at 12 without anyone telling me a goddamned thing.

Years later I hoped they'd keep developing the Mexican dad. But you know what happened? Subsequent writers forgot they'd already introduced Kyle's dad, so they kept reintroducing new dads for Kyle. Twice, I believe. Always thinking they were the first ones to do it. I hate DC editorial so much beyond 2012-ish.

I mean... were the other dads also Hispanic? I guess the mom was white, no Hispanic I know would name their kid an overly white name like Kyle.

I actually expect this one to be more entertaining than expected in a very formulaic way.

But I'm not paying to see it.
