LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Blue Beetle' is the title of three fiction superheroes that have appeared in a series of American comic books since 1939. The latest company to acquire 'Blue Beetle' rights is DC Comics, which purchased the character in 1983 and used the title for three different characters throughout the years.

DC Universe is back in action with their all-new action-adventure movie, ‘Blue Beetle’. Angel Manuel Soto (Charm City Kings) directs the film, based on a script written by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer. Xolo Mariduea plays Mexican-American adolescent Jaime Reyes in Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios' first stand-alone Latino-led superhero film. We'll have to wait to find out what the future brings, but some new promo image shows Jamie Reyes dressed as Blue Beetle. The outfit is incredible, and the soon we witness it in motion, the greater.
