Blue Beetle Returns To DC Comics Before His DCEU Movie
Warning! Spoilers for Blue and Gold #7 ahead!
Everyone’s favorite crimefighting duo, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, are joined by the newest Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes, in DC’s Blue and Gold before Jaime makes his big screen debut next year. These days many fans are more familiar with Jaime’s version of the Blue Beetle, as seen in DC’s animated movies and shows, but he is only one of three Blue Beetles to appear in comics. Ted Kord, the second Blue Beetle, and Michael Carter, A.K.A. Booster Gold, are two former members of Justice League: International, a branch of the Justice League that gained popularity in the '90s. These heroes have saved the world time and time again, even working alongside Superman to slow Doomsday’s path of mass-destruction in The Death of Superman.
Currently, Booster and Beetle star in their own series, Blue and Gold by Dan Jurgens and Ryan Sook, as they help New Yorkers with unique problems often ignored by the Justice League. While Booster pushes for a fan-following and crowdfunding to support their endeavors, Blue Beetle tries to reel his best friend back in when he becomes too ambitious. The series is full of references harking back to the days of JLI and even includes appearances from Guy Gardner, and friend of Superman, Bibbo Bibbowski, who both actively watch Booster’s livestreams. At the end of Blue and Gold #6, another viewer, Jaime Reyes, is revealed to be in New York City.
