Y’ALL. It seems like nobody here has read a blue beetle comic or seen the movie, and you’re already shitting on it? Come on. This is the beginning of the new DCU, and any blue beetle fan can see from the trailer they’re going to be doing some interesting stuff in this movie. Be nice.

No, it’s the second to last film of the DCEU. If it does well a sequel may find its way into DCU, but DCU does not officially begin until 2025.

  James Gunn has said it’s part of the DCU but does not consider it the first DCU film.

    BB also has references to Man of Steel, so no, it’s the second to last film of the DCEU

    Gunn has confirmed that BB is the first character of the rebooted universe, for which Superman will be the first film.

    I can see why, it’s well done, fun, and has multiple deep cuts to comics history.

And from the reviewers I usually follow, the film has consistently received “it’s fun and better than some other super hero movies” reviews.

I was surprised at the oblique Dan Garret references and the EXTENSIVE Ted Kord references, complete with a Ted Kord mid credit stinger.

I did NOT expect OMAC. That’s a deep fucking cut out of left field. I can see why James Gunn wants to keep this
