Jaime Reyes

Blue Beetle Trailer

As a request from Rixec2, I have made a trailer for Blue Beetle III, also know as Jaime Reyes. Truth be told, he’s not my favorite beetle, I liked Ted a lot better, but he’s here now so I guess I’ve got to like him). The basic plot of the movie is just based around Jaime and how he got his powers and such. Clips from Batman the Brave and the Bold Music from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YodhW7… It belongs to Xslaya67X, not me! Characters belong to DC comics. By the way, RIP Jaime ( I love Max but he honestly needs to stop killing Beetles.

Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) is a fictional character who appears in several comic books published by DC Comics. The character first appears in Infinite Crisis #3 (Feb. 2006). He was created by writers Keith Giffen and John Rogers, along with artist Cully Hamner.

Jaime Reyes is the third character to assume the mantle of Blue Beetle, but he is substantially different from his predecessors. Introduced in 1939, the original Blue Beetle was a Fox Comics mystery man who drew mystical abilities from an ancient Egyptian scarab. Published by Charlton Comics and later DC, 1966 creation Ted Kord was Garrett’s student who continued his legacy of costumed crime-fighting, although he had no superpowers. DC’s introduction of Jaime Reyes in 2006 retconned and expanded upon the Blue Beetle mythos. Revealed to be alien in origin, the scarab bonds with Reyes and provides him with a suit of extraterrestrial armor shortly after Kord’s death. Though only a teenager, Reyes quickly forms a working relationship with Kord’s former teammate and best friend Booster Gold and is inducted into the Teen Titans.

Blue Beetle’s most recent incarnation, Reyes is also the most-well represented Blue Beetle in adaptations, appearing in both animated and live action forms in Batman: The Brave and the BoldYoung Justice and Smallville. A Reyes-focused drama is in production.

Publication history 

In Infinite Crisis #5 (March 2006), Reyes became Blue Beetle’s third incarnation. His own monthly series debuted two months later with Blue Beetle (vol. 8) #1 (May 2006); it was initially written by Keith Giffen and John Rogers, with artist Cully Hamner.   Giffen left before issue #10 and Rogers took over full writing duties, joined by new artist Rafael Albuquerque.   Rogers left in issue #25 to concentrate on his television series Leverage.

After a couple of fill-in issues, Matt Sturges became the main writer in issue #29 but the series was canceled with last issue #36 in February 2009.   Editor Dan DiDio put the cancellation down to poor sales and said that Blue Beetle was “a book that we started with very high expectations, but it lost its audience along the way.”

On March 12, 2009, DiDio announced that the character would return in June 2009 as a “co-feature” of the more popular Booster Gold comic.
