posting in a Jaime Sticky

Oh boy. It's black spider-man all over again. Make a sticky now please? Flood of these fucking threads inbound...

>>we're hoping to develop a live-action show.
>>rage

Sticky?

This is so great.

Please excuse me while I squee like a damn fool

*drool*

Sticky means that it's something important. What did we miss about Blue Beetle?

FUCKING ACE!

aw yiss

Neato.

Is this not going to get cancelled when people just download the episodes?

> Blue Beetle's own show

FUCK YES!

> Live action

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Live action Blue Beetle series...

I don't know how to feel about this.

sticky post

My bet it ends up like Smallville.

99% teen angst

Janitors! You ARE there!

I dunno about this, but fuck man. Think about it. America's first homegrown sentai show.

I am so goddamn excited

I can't wait to see a cast list

Hey cool a stickied thread that isn't about off topic bullshit no one cares about. Way to go mods.

On topic:

FUCK YES BLUE BETTLE

>Sentai

Good to know he's getting his own show though

>>live action

OH MAN

WHO'S GONNA PLAY PACO?

SHIT I AM SO EXCITED

>>17617342
For once i am ok with this. I would prefer a cartoon, but a live-action well done could be awesome too

>live action
meh...

>blue beetle as jamie
I wanted Ted ;_;

FUCK THIS SPIC I WANT TED

This probably won't be as awesome as I'm imagining, but if it's at least as good as last season's Smallville, I'll be quite happy.

Please be better than Smallville.

inb4 stereotypes

>>17617442
Smallville hasn't bee like that in about two or three years bro. Keep up.

Prefer cartoon, has live action ever been done well?

>Mexican to get his own show

DUDE. SOMEONE PUT THE TEST ON YOUTUBE:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXJsYWi3EyQ

I hate when something good happens and Geoff Johns is involved. It sours the whole thing. Like 52.

goddamn mexican gets his own show, probably because of some affirmitive action bullshit. You don't see batman having his own live action show or nothin. I wish DC would just cleanse their multiverse of this garbage and bring back ted kord, making the blue beetle white and proud again.

So.... Cartoon Network or CW Hell?

>>17617510
Flash, recent Smallville, most of the other Superman shows, 60s Batman. It can be done.

>>17617507
so, we are going to get several years of shit and after that something good? And this is supposed to make me happy?

I for one welcome more visible and board-specific moderation.

>>17617528
I'm guessing Fox like Human Target. We'll see though.

>Live-Action

Didn't they learn from Smallville that this is NOT a good idea?!

Did they not learn from Spectacular Spider-Man that animated is?!

...it´s like, when americans make a TV show they think mexicans will like

>>17617528
Personally, I hope neither.

>>17617558
Smallville is more popular than Spectacular Spider-man.

>>17617553
I would like that.

But let's be fair. You can't reproduce Chi McBride's awesomeness.

yes yes yes yes YES YES YES YES YES YES

>>17617580
yeah, teen girls love it

Not sure if want.

They'll fuck it up.

>>17617527

your horns are showing

Sorta want. Could be interesting.

Well, casting time.

I don't know any young Hispanic actors but that girl that does Panini's voice on Chowder could be Brenda.

BLUE BEETLE STICKY

So how much do they have to tone down the Scarab to make Jamie work in live action form? I mean, they couldn't even afford a decent fight scene in the Smallville JSA episode, Johns himself said they had to cut most of it out.

>Confirmed for Jaime, Traci 13 and Milagro

>>17617558
The only thing Smallville has proved is that you shouldn't hire people who don't want to make a superhero show (show greatly improved once the "no flights, no tights" guys left) and special effects are expensive. Considering Johns is working on this, that first thing shouldn't be a problem.

FUCKING YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Jaime Reyes, huh?

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Jaime finally getting what he deserves.

Ted, on the the other hand... ;_;

>>17617719

Why would they want a show about a man who committed suicide?

>>Live action

this will not end well

>>17617662
are you sure? they will hardly target on males, since every 14-35 years old dude is going tu pirate it. If they put money in it, they will want a lot of people to watch it, and by a lot of people i mean a lot of teen girls, because they are stupid enough to buy it and put posters of the main cast on their walls

Let's hope people won't think this is a Ben 10 ripoff, 'cause it's not.

>>17617749
sadbooster.jpg

>>17617626

They'll probably get some unknowns.

The final villain of the first season is Arizona.

Live Action? Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

>>17617793
well, every other /co/mrade and their dog seems to think it's a kaimen rider rip-off.

>>17617793

Well it is pretty clear they copied Big Chill from Alien Force

>>trollface.jpg

>>17617822
Really this is more of a Guyver-type situation than Kamen Rider.

>>17617822
IT IS based on Kamen Rider you cannot deny this.

This is good, homever.

>>17617839
...It's niggas in cheap suits fighting monsters made of cheaper suits.

Same thing.

>>17617839

As far as the modern ones go, Guyver is Kamen Rider material, just without the title.

>>17617848
Did Giffen ever say it was based on Kamen Rider or is that just a conclusion you've drawn because of the similarities?

>>17617839
Guvyer is all about bio weapons.

My monitor got stickied when I saw this, if you know what I mean.

>>17617839
the analogy works better there, but you know how /co/ is. Once they get something in their head, they won't shut the fuck up about it.

posting in an AWESOME sticky

>Mexican to get his own show

Phase 2 has been enacted: Take over the media.

I really don't know how to feel about a live-action Blue Beetle series. Part of me feels that it's going to fail miserably. The other part is at least slightly hopeful. Wonder what channel it'll air on...

Sitcom with Ted BB and Booster Gold, on the other hand. I might be able to get behind.

How on earth would they get the SFX budget for this, just one episode of Beetle using his suit would be mind-blowingly expensive.

Also where is my Gotham Central TV series, Johns?
WHERE IS IT!?

>>17617848
I don't know enough about the plot of Kaiman Rider to agree. Other than superficial similarities in the suits, you're going to have to point out how it's "based" on Kaiman rider when it's an American Legacy character and the concept art had the look based more on Mexican luchadors.

>>17617443
>America's first homegrown sentai show.

Uh, bro.

>>17617933
This. I want a Gotham Central series so hard.

>>17617926

Considering the amount of respect the Blue Beetle writers had for Ted, I wouldn't be surprised if Booster was a reoccurring character and there was a time-travelin' Blue and Gold episode.
This is me being extremely optimistic.

>>17617940
1) They look similar enough.
2) Tech based power armor that can form at will with a tech device. Modern Kamen Rider is all about this.
3) Science based weapons and suit modifications.
4) Jamie even acts as a protagonist to some rider series, like Ryuki.
5) It will be awesome.

>>17617940
It really doesn't have much in common at all with Kamen Rider, besides being live action rubber-suit fighting, and there are better examples that are more closely related as >>17617839 pointed out.

>>17617990
So you have no actual proof and this is all conjecture?

>>17617999
>Modern Kamen Rider
>Symbiotic tech based suit
>Guvyer
>Bio armor
>Blue Beetle
>Symbiotic Tech suit

Yeah man it's tottaly Guvyer.

As good as Blue Beetle is, he doesn't seem a logical choice for a TV show?

How on earth are they going to afford the SFX on this?

>>17617990
So, like was said, you're just saying it was "based" on Kamen Rider based on superficial similarities between the suits. Not much of an argument.

>>17618016
Holy fucking Jesus. What is the fucking difference? Not only that: Who cares? Fucking Beetle man. Fuck Mark Hamill and a bunch of Tojos.

>>17617985
That would pretty damn cool.

>>17617940

That's Kamen Rider. And not the anon you're speaking with but honestly from my comparison with all the seasons of KR I have seen I doubt BB is similar to it. BB seems more to me like Guyver in all due honesty.

I would say at this point the only real similarities between BB and KR is the bug theme and now that they will both be Live Action Series. Him being a teenage Mexican with a bioorganic power armor from out of space sort of throws out any KR similarities.

>>17617926
yourearendedbarryallen.jpeg

>>17618015
Far one on the left.

If I cannot convince you how they based his design to the Rider series then ok. In no interview they outright state this, they say "lucha libre influence" yet his mask only barely resambles Blue Demon's mask and his suit is nothing like a Lucha Libre suit.


Even if they did blindly copy this design, at least say the end result it's similar.

I say go for it, it sounds like a pretty awesome idea in all seriousness.

>>17618030
Dude, ALL THE PEOPEL SAYING "IT'S JUST LIKE ONE OF MY KAMEN RIDER SERIES" are in love with the idea.

Guys who cares if he's based on Kamen Rider?
It really doesn't matter.

>>17617848
>IT IS based on Kamen Rider you cannot deny this.

Is it difficult to talk out of your ass like that?

>>17618079
The people saying that he is based on Kamen Rider also posted that they enjoy this.

Why are dc fans so lunatic?

>>17618055

Are you honestly comparing Kamen Rider Gatack to The Blue Beetle? SERIOUSLY?!

Or Arata to Jaime? Oh man.

Just reminding you guys the chances of this getting actually developed is still quite hard. They could make a pilot and the network could still not like it. Fucking Cartoon Network said no to this fantastic Plastic Man show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn74McRwEg0

>>17617946
So Scottish! So awesome!

FIRE WITHIN ME!

>>17618055
>Far one on the left.

That came out in 2006. Doesn't Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle precede that?

In all honesty, this BB has more in common with Guyver than Kamen Rider as far as basic origin plot goes. Kid finds doodad, doodad turns out to be power armor created by aliens.

>>17618094
Because bickering about the technobabble behind a particular suit is asinine.

He's obviously going to come out looking like Kamen Rider. This much is true. But who cares what the in-universe explanations for the suits are.

>>17618016
>Modern Kamen Rider
>Symbiotic tech based suit
What the fuck are you talking about? Kamen Rider suits aren't symbiotic, or even suits at all in some series. The only one you could maybe argue that for is Blade, since the sealed Undead were used for suit operation, but even that's stretching it.

Whereas Guyver forms a much more symbiotic connection with the user.

>>17618021
Gee, and I wanted to see SFX that had possible theological implications.

>>17618099
How the hell didn't that get picked up, its awesome!

>>17618118
>He's obviously going to come out looking like Kamen Rider
Why, because you've got that idea stuck in your head? For fucks sake, stop posting.

>>17618099
Didn't they go with Johnny Test over this?

coolface.jpg

>>17618055
I've been saying the whole time there are superficial similarities in the suit. You seem to think that all it takes to make a character is the design, as opposed to characterization and plot. Show me how the characterization is more Kamen Rider than say, Spider-Man. Show me how the plot in any way resembles Kamen Rider. The writers have never indicated Blue Beetle was based on Kamen Rider from what I've seen. It's cool to point out how the suits look a bit similar, but I don't get how any of you cats can say it's "based" on Kamen Rider. Do you not know what "based on" means?

inb4 they cast a black guy to play him

Well that's neat.

>>17618110
Yes he does. I just wanted to show that Riders have always resambled insects.
The one I posted is merely Kamen Rider Black with some blue armor.

And yes, his origin is very similar to the one in Guvyer and they share some design traits as well, the colors are pretty much the same.

But at the same time the way Jamie uses his powers are prettu much the same that Kamen Rider Black RX and the first modern riders.

I've yet to see him use any Luca Libre moves.

Anyway, Guvyer = Awesome, Kamen Rider = Awesome, Live action Blue bettle = Best live action show in america

>The people saying that he is based on Kamen Rider also posted that they enjoy this.

>Why are dc fans so lunatic?
Actually I believe it's more the Kamen Rider fans that are pissed, since the people commenting that it's clearly based on Kamen Rider are showing great ignorance about the series.

You just realized his face will be static.

No moving parts.

itt: A bunch of tokusatsu lovers get bitched by DC fans who think that power armors are an original idea done by DC despite the fact the tokusatsu lovers are excited just as bad as the DC fans

Any word on what network would be playing it?

For something like this, I'd REALLY hope it turned out to be like an HBO series.

>we're hoping to develop a live-action show

Keep dreaming. It'll probably end up on the CW.

>>17618176

Maybe I confused your enthusiasm for something else, but even still you seem to be a little confused yourself. Observe the progression of shows like Guyver and Kamen Rider versus something like Smallville.

Japan and America have two very different ideas of what Live Action could and should be about. I am not default saying it will be bad, but it is highly unlikely this series will play out like any of the Kamen Riders I have seen. The people here in the west just do not think that way, it is unlikely to work.

Guys, GUYS!

Calm down for a minute, let's look at the bigger picture here.

Does this mean there's a chance his ongoing will come back?

>>17618176
>Live action Blue bettle = Best live action show in america

Ah, I see. You're used to hyperbole and poorly thought-out statements. Because this show doesn't even have a pilot out yet and you've just called it the best live-action show in America. Why don't you do me a favor and start trip-faggin so I can more easily ignore you in the future?

Protip: No one cares whether it's based on Kamen Rider. Our problem is that some idiot is saying that is definitely is with no real proof.

DON'T SAY THINGS AS FACT WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE. SPREADING MISINFORMATION IS BAD.

Jesus Christ /co/.

>>17618099
oh shit, this is awesome. Reminds me of Freakazoid.

>>17618247
Pretty much this. That's why the DC fans in this thread got their backs up (well, me at least).

>>17618233
Maybe, but it sold like shit before so I'm not sure why anything would change unless they put a bigname writer like Johns on or something.

>>17617342
THEY TOK YER JEWB!

>>17618267
Pirating hurt that book more than it did others, I think. I believe the interest is there, DC just needs to find a way to take advantage of the internet.

>>17617926

Rumor has it that someone pitched that idea to WB and they passed on it. I've read a few people talking about it as if it were fact but I've never been able to find anything to back it up.

>>17617933

Blame that on Birds of Prey flopping.

>>17618267
Well from what I understand he was a relatively unknown character at the time, and his series ended RIGHT before he started getting more exposure from Brave and the Bold. If he gets his own series which is well-received, it's possible they'd pick the book back up thinking it'd get sales based on character popularity.

>>17618267
Christ, PLEASE keep Johns away from Jaime.

>>17618284
Thankfully, they are. They're just not rushing into it and dumping scans like Marvel is.

>>17618284
It was selling less than Tiny Titans. At that point, you can't blame piracy.

>>17618233
don't get my hopes up like that! I'm already more excited than I ought to be for the show.

>>17618305
But... Tiny Titans is awesome...

>>17618294

Pretty much. The fact that a lot of it's fanbase was pirating the book didn't really help either.

>>17618298
Why?
Afraid he'll write a decent book, like he has done for many titles over the years?

>>17618222
>but it is highly unlikely this series will play out like any of the Kamen Riders I have seen.

Which is true, if it's aimed towards teens, it will be mostly high school drama bullshit. If aimed for adults, it will SUPERSERIAL!

But all I ask is if it follows the formula that japanese tokusatsu has. Man walks into town, problem arises, problem is linked to organization X, HENSHIN!, RIIDAA KIICK!, problem solved.

>>17618298
If he wrote it like he wrote Adventure Comics or how he's writing Flash, it would be good. But yeah, someone like Sterling Gates would be a better fit.

Dontknowifwant.jpg

>>17618298

Johns is one of the few things keeping him from being killed off for shock value, and the reason he's going to get more exposure.

>>17618305
*sigh* yeah. Maybe it wasn't adequate promotion on DC's part? I really don't get why this series fizzled. It had the potential to be like Spider-Man.

What are /co/'s theories? Poor promotion? Pirating? Lack of interest in a Latino character? I know a lot of Ted fans were pretty pissed at a brown kid taking his place.

>>17618359
First two. That brown kid thing was crushed once everyone realized how cool Jaime is.

>>17618323
Let's not start that debate (because it's very much a debate) here. Let's just say I don't think his writing style would work for Jaime.

>>17618322
Well, unfortunately I didn't find out about the series early enough to support it. If they renew it though, I'll definitely be picking it up every month.

>>17618366

Yeah and though they're upset, a lot of Ted fans seem to accept Jaime for the most part. At the very least, their is no bitter war like there was between Hal and Kyle fans.

>>17618366
The only reason I brought up the racism thing was because it only disappeared as a common complaint shortly before the series got canned. Like maybe Ted fans got over it too late/

>>17618359
I think it was a combination of poor promotion on DC's part and piracy.

IF IT GETS RENEWED WITH A GOOD WRITER BUY THE DAMNED THING GUYS.

The comic book sucked so I expect this to be just as bad.

>>17618176resambled insects.

You clearly haven't seen any rider from Hibiki, Den-O or Kiva, nor the likes of the three movie riders from Missing Ace and various riders from Ryuuki, such as Imperer, Odin, Tiger, Oja and Zolda, to name a few.

None of those riders remotely look like insects.

>>17618423
I bought the last three issues :(

I didn't find out about it until everyone was pretty sure it was on it's way out.

>>17618423
I'm a Dutchfag who specifically asked his local comic book shop to import it for me, so quit your whining!

>>17617442

>>17618434
You're adorable.

>>17618353
Really? Well, while I'm glad he's taken an interest and is protecting the character, I really don't want him writing Blue Beetle.

Honestly, I don't know if I'd buy an ongoing that isn't written by Rogers. The Sturges stories haven't impressed me and I don't know many other writers who could pull it off (though, like mentioned before, I'd give Sterling Gates a try).

>>17618423
>>17618438
Yeah, I really think DC dropped the ball on promoting Jaime. I had never even heard of him until /co/ started having threads about the cancellation announcement and him showing up in Brave and the Bold.

If only the series had managed to survive a little longer for Brave and the Bold to come out, maybe things would have turned out differently.

>>17618454
I have no problem with you, kind sir. But anyone who complains about it being canceled, if you knew about the series before it ended and didn't buy it then you have no heart!

>>17618470
After reading Red Robin, I'm convinced Yost could probably do the character justice. I'd check it out anyway.

>>17618480
>Yeah, I really think DC dropped the ball on promoting Jaime. I had never even heard of him until /co/ started having threads about the cancellation announcement and him showing up in Brave and the Bold.

If DC doesn't kill Titans it'll probably be him and Static headlining it.

(Though for my money, a Blue Beetle and Static double-title is more appealing. Who wants to read Titans shit?)

I got like the first 5 issues... but I couldn't afford regular comic buying anymore and it was kind of boring at the time...I'm sorry, /co/

As excited as I am about the possibility of a Blue Beetle show...can Jaime Reyes' version really work as live action?

>>17618552
Kind of. Have you seen how much CGI goes into Power Rangers nowadays?

>>17618548
Did you at least buy the trades?

>Blue beetle show
OMG :DDDDDDD
>live action
oh...

>>17617580
The target audiences are different.

Anyway, this sounds cool. I could see a well scripted kids or young adults adventure show of this. Jamie stopping supervillians in his hometown, reimaginings of some old Blue Beetle foes, the space deal as a thread through the show with a finale arc against the Reach.

Also Paco hitting people with sticks.

Finally. Some of you say Kamen Rider, some say Luchador, some say Guyver I say everything but most importantly its Blue Beetle.

Inspirations about what make up a character are less important than how it comes off in the end. The first Blue Beetle whas the Phantom with electric powers, the second whas Bruce Wayne as Spider-Man.

>>17618552

I have to agree with you. A movie could work, but a TV show with a limited budget? I'm a bit worried.

>>17618540

If DC gives it a good stable creative team again I think Titans could do well. At the same time it'll probably be canceled when Young Justice starts and replaced with a new YJ ongoing.

I'm never getting Ted back, am I?

sooo who should be blue beetle?

Ted could still appear in a mentor role.

I am excitement.

>>17618540
I'd love to see a team of Static, Blue Beetle, and Red Robin.

>>17618647
Ted Kord

Live action Mexican superhero and his family will tank so hard. A cartoon version would have a chance, but (assuming they hire actual mexican actors, and not just tan white people speaking with an accent) a live action version has no chance at success.

>>17618359
I'll be perfectly honest here, I thought the way they handled his race was a little ham-fisted. I got through like the first 20 issues before deciding I just didn't want to read it anymore.

>>17618779
You mean like how they didn't make any issue of it at all?

>>17618779
>race not mattering much at all
>ham-fisted

oh u

I AM GOING TO KILL EVERYTHING.

>>17618886
Why?

U Mad that a character is getting a show? Or you mad that people only started giving a shit about Ted when he got his brains blown out? :3

Little late, guys!

Hells yeah!!!!

Stuff like this keeps happening and I don't care what Johns does in the comics

>>17618779
Blue Beetle handled race better than any other comic I've ever read. His race was never made an issue in stupid ways like every other ethnic character. The only time I remember his race being an issue at all was that arc where the politician made him out to be some kind of super powered border patrolman, and he was conflicted because people accused him of being racist. And even that was handled pretty well.

>>17618912
And then he shows up in Teen Titans and suddenly every other word out of his mouth is Spanish.

I'm calling it now
Live action Brenda will be /co/s new queen

>>17618935
>reading Teen Titans

lol, that's your own fault bro

So.. like Power Rangers, right?

Will there be giant robots?

>>17618958
I picked it up BECAUSE he was in it! It's not like it was a regular thing!

>>17618935
It's unfortunate, but you can hardly blame his ongoing for that.

>>17618964
No and no.

>>17618935

Wait that happened in the regular series too! Not just the Wednesday Comics one? Dammit.

Anyway who's Jimmy Smits going to play

if it's live action, is it going to be like a mexican kamen rider of sorts?

maybe okay with this?

awesome

>>17619046
But... the comic DID have giant robots...

Jaime fought them often.

GAY on the FAKE Blue Beetle's new rise >.>

>>17618912
>>17618935
The writer for the wedsneday comic was awful, more likely because it was the Teen Titans

>>17619126
Also giant naked man

and giganta

Yo soy muy excitedad! Si!

muy bueno

That is one gay image.

>>17619162
Worst part is that that was written by the fucking EDITOR of Teen Titans.. thats how HE wants him to be

>>17618912
oh, I loved how that was handled. The whole "I have to be a superhero for everyone" thing? That was fantastic.

He better say Henshin.

HOOFUCKINGRAY!

Blue Beetle will get a giant robot and call it the Big Bad Beetleborg.

>>17618964
No it will be like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mttz6Olxl5w

>>17619317
I love how he looks at the prop like "What the fuck is this supposed to be?"

Uhhh when was the last time there was a very successful live action show starring a non-white male?

This shit is going to be canceled faster than Speedy Gonzales.

RIP TED KORD.

If only I were younger and more mexican looking...

>>17619401
...how successful is Corey in the House?

>>17618104
AIR ABOVE ME!

the show is crap without booster gold.

>>17619409

>>17619457
Why? Was he even in the book besides the end of the Reach arc?

>/co/ spends months complaining about how DC ignores Jaime

>DC gives Jaime his own show, thus guaranteeing his survival and probably meaning he'll get a new book

>/co/ complains that it's live action

Oh, /co/. You'll never be happy about anything, will you?

Oh boy Jaime sure is almost 1/100th as good as Ted!

>>17619505

What if Blue Beetle got a non-live action show? durrrrr, pay attention.

Why is this stickied now? We've had threads on it before.

>>17619505
Also,

>/co/ spends months complaining about how DC is stuck in the silver age

>DC gives Jaime, a modern character, his own show

>/co/ complains that a silver age character won't have a show

>>17619450

From what i gather not as successful as That's So Raven, but still successful.

I think the better question for that /co/mrad to ask would have been, when was the last time a Hispanic had a successful live action show.

Personally I think the show will end up with a lot of buzz for being centered around one, and in the end that'll give it some great promotion.

>>17619505

Are you new here?

>>17619540
How did we have threads before? Johns only tweeted about this ten minutes before this sticky was created.

>>17619570
The idea has been on superhero hype. I've seen people link it before.

>>17619554
That chunky frog is correct!

>>17619589
That's not really the same as a statement directly from the guy who works on everything outside of comics.

Oh Milargo, you told us this would happen.


Escarabo, Vamonos!

STICKIES EVERYWHERE!

Yes we've had threads about how Johns wants Jaime to be a bigger character, but this is confirmation that it's starting soon. Big difference in knowing that something will happen eventually, and knowing how and when it will happen..

I just realized that this is probably CW's Smallville replacement

Where the fuck is MY live-action series????

>>17619683
Any hope I had for this show just died with this statement.

>>17619683
I'm going to be pissed if this is true.

>>17619683

Probably. Smallville is about to end afterall. I just hope they approach this right. Remember the Robin show they wanted to do? I really don't want to see this become like that.

>>17619683

>Geoff Johns. Smallville writer.

Mind blown.

>>17619728

We want a character people don't have to adjust the settings on their TVs to see.

>>17617719
Bro, I agree with you so much.

But this is really exciting.

>>17619728

Static had a cartoon I'd rather see other characters given a chance.

>>17619738
>>17619739

...you know I mean their new show to attract guys right? Not a show that's 8 years of love triangle.

But fuck you guys for hating teen dramas

>>17619738
>>17619739
Calm down, Smallville's kind of good these days.

>>17619683

If Ted & Booster don't get even a single episode, I'll cry.

>This whole thread

>>17619820

Booster will hopefully be a recurring character who tells stories of his JLI days with Ted. Maybe even a JLI reunion episode.

>>17619838
Agreed.

I'm only reason I'm sad they won't have Ted and Dan is because I liked that dynamic of W.W.T.K.D.

But then /co/'s tears of never seeing Booster and Ted are so so tasty that I think I'm alright

>>17619820

>Live Action Booster

...my God, do not know if want.

Nevermind, WANT!

>>17619771
>DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO

Think you're pretty funny, huh?

>>17619800

>>17619848

>Jaime gets his own show, becomes the more popular Beetle and they bring back his comic only for it to sell like hotcakes.
>Booster/Kord never mentioned ever on tv and will never be brought back to life

I don't even hate Jaime, I just don't understand how the two can never co-exist.

>>17619880
I think Danielle could be adapted without too much trouble so we'd still have that legacy element.

>>17619728
Honestly

he will probably be a guest star sometime in season 2
appearing just after Traci 13s first apperanxce


thats right people
Live Action Traci 13

FAP BATE!

>>17619916

Look what happened to Wally when Barry came back. DC hates having two characters with the same legacy operating at the same time.

>>17619916
because one is DEEEEEEAD

and honestly Ted might have a big story in that show

>>17619945

I could see them doing what The Brave and the Bold did. Have an episode where he learns about and researches the original and learn that he committed suicide.

Since I'm pretty sure there's a captive audience of Ted fans... I'll just leave this here.

>My face when Jaime and I come from the same town.
>Oh wait, it's shit, nevermind.

>>17619993
EL PASO.
Fuck yeah.
. . . fucking Jaime needs to clean up this place.

>>17619982
>learn that he committed suicide.

So it's gonna be like Power Rangers, right?

>>17619945
This. Ted was brought up a lot in Jaime's series. In fact, Jaime would ask "What Would Ted Kord do?" and they even flat out said that he was probably smarter than Batman. Plus they used the Bug a couple times.

>>17620012

I bet he lives in the lower valley.
Shit is ghetttoooo.
You think they would shoot here? They'd probably shoot in new mexico.

>>17620019
That doesn't even make sense. It wouldn't be a team series, and there'd be no huge robot vs huge monster fight at the end of every episode.

>>17620015

>>17619982

I love it when a plan comes together

>>17620068
Why did you post an image of Wonder-Woman holding a sword? That doesn't make any sense.

>>17620015
>>17620066
>>17620068

The Scarab sees through your bullshit Lord.

I just don't have the page saved, unfortunately.

Booster is like that stubborn ex that can't let shit go.

Bitch should go find another friend and stop being a fucking fag.

So sick of Tedfags preaching their homo shit.

>>17620064
Okay, so it'll be like Kamen Rider?

>>17620125

No /co/ is the stubborn ex, Booster is over it. It's almost like there was an entire arc about him dealing with it actually

>>17620055
I live near the Lower Valley and . . . it's not /that/ bad.
But yeah.
They'd shoot here.

Awww yeah. Bitches love the scarab.

Hey guys, this obviously means that Ted Kord is going to be in it somehow, which by extension means that Booster is going to be in it.

>>17620125

Wonder if Guy Gardner will make an appearance...

>>17617719
Want if in the first episode Ted Die's and we get the scarab passed on ?

>>17620189
Maybe... Dan Garret?

>>17620154
There have been SEVERAL arcs about him dealing with it.

Hey guys we actually want this to happen so watch The Cape and No Ordinary Family to show networks that superhero shows are profitable.

>>17620189
Booster was the one who got him started on his path to herodom. He introduced him to Batman and everything.

>>17620198
If so they better get Jensen Ackles!

>>17620270
>implying any of that would be included in a live action series

it's because he's mexican isn't it.

>>17620271

Bump.

>>17620303

sage

>>17620198
Guy will show up the the Green Lantern movie franchise, so, he's out of order.

>>17620303
I'm not sure if you're joking or not.

>>17620296

hispanic, not mexican

>>17620198
Probably. I'm sure the JLI gang will make a few appearances. Peacemaker I'm not sure about. Really though I don't mind if we don't get a lot of guest stars. This show is about Jaime and his supporting cast and while that cast may include a lot of history and different heroes, it's probably best to focus on Jaime, his family, and his friends and the adventures that ensue rather than fitting as much continuity from the comics as possible. That said, I would love if Guy, Booster, and possibly Kid Devil were to show up. Then again, for all we know, the show may never be greenlit.

>>17620314
>He tries to Sage a Sticky thread
>>17620303
>He tries to bump a Sticky thread

>>17620337
I honestly wouldn't bet on many, if any, appearances of comic characters until it goes a few seasons.

>>17620314
>>17620303

They better not fuck this up like Smallville.

>>17620318
I am.

So what prolific Hispanic actors are out there, and which one has the best chance at the title role?

>>17620337

Peacemaker is pretty important to the whole Reach plot as I recall.

oh god

oh god

oh god
i just realized a terrible truth
george lopez is going to be the dad or somethin

>>17620337

Kid Devil will never appear in anything as long as Didio is in charge.

I honestly wouldn't mind if they made a live-action Blue Beetle TV show like it were a sentai series, because those shows are often very fun as well as being easily marketable to both kids and older fans looking for some nostalgia.

>>17620415
Goddammit

>>17620415
JESUS CHRIST.
It's true ;-;

>>17620433
>Sentai

The term is "tokusatsu".

>>17620337
If they try to adapt the plot from the comics AT ALL, Peacemaker's a pretty essential character. He's also a lot less likely to get fucked over by movie rights and shit than a lot of the JLI characters. I would expect to see Peacemaker as a recurring character before I'd expect Guy Gardner or even Booster Gold as a guest.

>>17620415

>>17620402

The only known actors will be the adults, I bet all the kids are near unknown. And /co/ will BITCH like they've never watched TV when they cast 20 somethings.

>>17620415

...I hate you.

So much.

>>17620415

>>17620442

Sorry, my mistake.

Mind telling me the difference really quickly? (I'm assuming sentai are for teams, right?)

>>17617342
Wait wait.

So does this mean they AREN'T just going to kill him off when they bring Ted back?

>>17620516
>implying they'll ever bring Ted back

lol

HEY JAIME, "MEXICAN/TERRIBLE JOKE"
*Laugh Track*

Static better be in the fucking main cast.

>>17620415

>>17620486
Sentai is a specific set of related series, tokusatsu is the genre it falls into.

>>17620415
Could be worse. Could be Carlos Mencia

>>17620415

fffffffffffffffffff

Please tell me Keith Giffen is doing at least some work on this. Though I dont recall him ever doing any TV work. It is highly likely that J.M DeMatteis will write the occasional episode though, since he tends to have a history of doing that for DC's shows, it seems.

In b4 every episode ends with Jaime's dad giving him some "what we learned today" speech, like ES ABOUT LA FAMILLLLIA, MIJO! and Jaime writing in his journal.

>>17620573
But in all seriousness, they wouldn't do that to keep a 'friendly' atmosphere.

>>17620415
>>17620573
Don't joke. Don't even joke.

>>17620534

Now now, it won't be a sitcom. It'll probably just be in the same vein as Supernatural or Buffy, but instead of vampires and ghosts, it's aliens and stuff.

Oh, and it'll be very tongue in cheek, like so:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYVilmnMFpY

>>17617342

>>Mods are mexicans

>>17620573

CHOKE TO DEATH ON A THOUSAND DICKS

>>17620598

La familia es buena jaimito, you should breed with mexican women so you get to tell this message to your sons and daughters.

>>17620605
I'm not expecting it to be a sitcom either, but I have a bad feeling about this.
I would just kill to see something like a sitcom version of I Can't Believe It's Not Justice League.

>>17620605

>in the same vein as ... or Buffy

ok Now I'm excited!

I can't wait.

>>17620646
FUCK YEAH, I LOVE ...!

>>17620443
True. I wonder who will play Peacemaker. Also, I'msure they may be able to use Booster and maybe some other JLI members. Guy seems unlikely because of Green Lantern movie and what not. Ted is likely and essential to the back story because of the legacy. I want to see Dani Garrett in this show if it's made.

>>17620661

... was the best show of the 00's

> Blue Beetle's own show

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!

> Live action

ummm.....well, well just have to see i guess.....

>>17620641

I don't. It's not all that hard to do well.

The worst we could expect from this is a Smallville crossover episode and even that's not so bad.

>>17620549
FUCK YES!

THIS

>>17620664
I wouldn't be surprised to see Booster guest star, but I was just pointing out that I think Peacemaker is more likely to show up than pretty much any other hero.

>>17620675

Smallville is ending this season, unless you mean like Clark shows up at some point.

If they work this into the Smallville U that would be a little amazing actually

>>17620675
I would flip my shit if a Smallville crossover happened for one reason.

That would pretty much fuck the possibility of having any kind of timeline that makes sense, because Jaime would be showing up as a superhero before fucking SUPERMAN.

>>17620675
I think Smallville's next season is the last. Unless you mean it'll be in the same continuity.

>>17620706
No they have one more season
and if the Blue Beetle Pilot is in pre now, a show wont show up for anoter year
so in 1 years time Smallville wil end and Blue Beetle will start

>>17620718
Clark's basically Superman right now anyway besides the costume and name.

I've been so depressed with how they're handling Jaime in Generation's Lost (and in his Booster co-feature) but THIS IS A GOOD THING.
His book can come back and I can stop crying myself to sleep at night.

>>17620726
>>17620718
>>17620706

I mean in a "Jaime falls into a portal that plants him in an alternate reality or back in time" kind of way.

you think smallville has a timeline that isnt completely its own? Or that it gives more than a cursory shit about mainstream continuity? So sad.

Hi guys, I'm from Warner Brothers Pictures. I need to raise interest for Inception on the internet, and 4chan being as popular as it is, I decided to post in sticky threads since it'll get the most views.

>>17620738

Exactly, a perfect substitute for Smallville, assuming this is on CW. Hell they can even have Waller/Checkmate/Chloe show up to investigate this new hero.

It's from Nolan, who's truly /co/ related.

The Riddler, Alfred, Scarcrow and fucking Tom Hardy are in it.

>>17620767
>>17620792

It has the names Christopher Nolan, Leonardo DiCarpio, and Ellen Page.

It'll do fine.

>>17620792
>>17620767

>>17620754
But even if Clark's established publicly as a hero (which I don't think he is at this point, though I don't watch Smallville) Jaime would be showing up as a hero at right around the same time. So rather than being a young guy getting his bearings in a world already full of heroes, he'd just be one of the first heroes to show up. Kills a lot of what made Jaime's book kind of cool.

>>17620690
I know. I agree with you He's not very well known as isn't really connected to any larger heroes like Batman or Wonder Woman so he's ripe for the pickings, especially since he was a recurring cast member in Jaime's series.

>>17620486

Common mistake MTL, no stress. Basically Sentai roughly refers to a group of team. Super Sentai would be a super team such as the Power Rangers as they are always in a group.

Tokusatsu basically just means a special effects heavy show. Kamen Rider does not always have a team or group, though nowadays it is common for there to be at least two Riders per show, an some even had 5 or more however often they would not work as a group more so work cooperatively if they just so happen to be facing a similar threat.

Considering stuff like Smallville I guess Blue Beetle will technically be very Special Effects driven what with all the crazy stuff that happens in a superhero story.

>>17620767
>>17620792
Weird movie looks weird. I'll wait for it to play on TBS or something in like 6 years

>>17620767
>>17620792
>>17620822

Are you so mad they killed Ted you're bombing a sticky?

And I was sold when I found out Joseph Gorden Levitt was in the cast anyway

>>17620827

It seems something /co/ would have interest in.

>>17620843
>>implying weird makes it bad

>>17620833
The public know him as the Blur and they know the S-shield. Also, the JSA is established (though, I don't think they were public) and they've got a makeshift JLA going on.

>>17620862
Weird makes it something I'm not really interested in.

>>17620865
Point is, Jaime worked well as a newbie in a world where supers have been around FOR GOD DAMNED FUCKING EVER and taking that away seems like a really shitty idea.

>>17620850

AKA, the Riddler

>>17620865

The general public thinks the JSA was a group of criminals, but Hawkman was like "We're getting the band back together"

Watch them have Jaime in Smallville as a backdoor pilot

>>17620822
>>17620792
I watched both the trailers for it and still have no idea what exactly its about.

>>17620891

Joseph Gordon Levitt is not going to be the Riddler.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Wolvie09/news/?a=19000

>>17620549
>>17620677

Thirded

>>17620880

It's about people who plant ideas in people's dreams. It's James Bond on drugs.

Trippy maybe, but not Lynch territory.

DC DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MINORTIES

>>17620912

We can only hope.

>>17620915

And then they steal the ideas though. It's Nolan doing a visually amazing heist movie

>>17620890
I disagree. I don't think the universe he was in really mattered that much as far as the newbie vibe was concerned.

Plus, fucking Scarecrow is in it.

>>17620912
>"a representative for Gordon-Levitt has already denied the rumor, which is to be expected, considering David S. Goyer hasn't written the screenplay yet."

WRONG!
the Script is done actually
has been done for like 2 months now
But as usual Pre production wont start untill atleast 1-2 months after Inception hits

>>17620573
Worse yet, he could play Paco.

To be on topic... uh... I hope it's Giffen inspired.

>>17620932

I'm hoping it's Coleman Reese, since you know, he already has a motivation set up.

Tom Hardy? This cast makes me wet.

>>17620977
Oh my god, it's completely retarded!

>>17620977

That guy's to fat and uncharismatic to play the Riddler. But, in Nolan we trust.

>>17620958

...he's old enough to be Paco's granddad.

>>17621011
enough with the viral marketing already

>>17621127
It didn't last long enough. Generation X looks like it could have done well. But all we have is a made for tv movie, that still kicks X3's and Wolverine's asses btw.

>>17621154
Lois and Clark was good too though

>>17620833
Yeah, but having it in a cape-ridden world would inflate the budget unnnecesarily. I'd rather they focus on his family and friends than on other heroes. Jaime would work fine as a coming of age+lasers series, which was my fav part of BB.

>>17621037
>Paco's Grandad
I can just imagine Paco touting his grandad as one of the funniest men of his time and Paco ends up being the only one who laughs at his jokes.

>>17621210
They don't need to actually SHOW all the other capes and shit though, I just think explicitly stating that it's NOT in a world like that by crossing it over with Smallville is stupid. You could just have the cast namedrop some other heroes and shit to achieve the desired effect.

>>17621095
>>17621098

Hope-mind

>>17621320
It was actually just a doublepost fuckup.

ITT: Aquagirl or Traci 13?

>>17621314
I don't think it would really matter though. The universe rarely factored into Blue Beetle at all. Really, it seemed like they distanced themselves from everything else for the most part. Only the occasional reference. The only time other heroes mattered much was I guess the Infinite Crisis and Sinestro Corps War stuff. That could all be omitted without losing the core concept of the character or anything really important. You can still have him feeling helpless in the Reach arc without the need to include specifically other heroes ignoring him, for example.

>>17621314
I don't watch Smallville, but didn't they had the JSA there not long ago? That's enough heroes for me.

And namedropping would just be frustrating. Saying that Superman destroyed a meteor would only remind people they could be seeing Superman destroy meteors instead of people talking about it.

>>17621500
This. keep name dropping to a minimum unless its relevant or a clever eater egg in regard to the story. Other than that, focus on the main cast.

Live action Jaime?

If they include his dream to be a Dentis to support his family... then it will be awesum.

In Japan he'll be "Mexican Henshin Beetle Boy Super Go!" or something.

Well, I think it's awesome.

Granted, Jaime is totally my husbando, so I'm biased as fuck.

Question to all the Smallville haters and... watchers.

What mistakes did Smallville make that this show needs to avoid?

>>17621732

>>17621799

Lana

>>17621812
Ah Yes but hes not Mexican.

If Jaime was based on a dung beetle, he'd be the Poo Beetle. Har har har.

>>17621799

Either have a plan to end at X seasons, or have plans for new stories past X seasons. Dragging out Lana-Clark-Lex is what I'm told killed those seasons of Smallville. Jaime wouldn't have as big a problem with that because Clark HAS to end with Lois which is also hurt Smallville.

>>17621799
They've honestly fixed most, if not all, of their problems by now. It's a decent show. As long as the guys who work on Blue Beetle remember they're making a superhero show, it should be fine.

I, for one, would watch the heck out of this show.

Especially if it means I get a live action Guy Gardner out of the deal, too.

how was the Zatanna episode of Small ville

and the JSA

>>17621927

cause Lana left

>>17621954

The JSA one was mediocre and covered it up with fanservice. The Zatanna one was pretty good.

>>17621935
hmmmmm, The Guy Gardner Show.

>>17621954
Zatanna's had two I think? I barely remember either of them but they were alright I guess. The JSA episode was kind of disappointing imo but still pretty alright.

I'd say the best episode recent episode with guest stars was the Wonder Twins one.

>>17622120

They said they wanted to use the Brave and the Bold to build him up.

WAIT DOES THIS MEAN.... LIVE ACTION PACO?

They realised Ben Ten is popular as fuck and saw BB was a good opportunity
trouble is that might mean its a kids show
or it'll probably be SMALLVILLE TIER bad
and they might keep him as a spic, but probably pick a spic that looks fairly white

also need Ka/m/en Rider awesomeness

HOORAY!

Two latest stickies are Cass Cain and Jaime Reyes. Best. Mod. EVER.

I was just mourning Jamie's relegation to shitty Titan comics but it's good to see DC is trying to push him a little more.
