Blue Beetle Trailer Sees Jamie Reyes Battle Indestructible Man

The trailer dives deeper into the character of Jamie Reyes, a college student who becomes a reluctant superhero after being chosen by an ancient alien artifact called the Scarab to be its new host. The trailer is packed with comedy, emotion as well as a bunch of CGI action as Jamie undergoes a transformation in his character, going from a boy wanting to get rid of his power to eventually embracing it. The trailer at the very end also promotes a bunch of Blue Beetle comics.

The Scarab gives him a very powerful blue exoskeleton equipped with various weapons and alien technology, as well as granting him flight and superhuman strength.

However, much like in ‘Shazam’ or ‘Spider-Man’, ‘Blue Beetle’ is a character who didn’t choose his power but now must deal with it, and handle the responsibilities that come with such immense power as he discovers a new side of himself and embraces the path of the hero.

‘Blue Beetle’ is one of DC's oldest heroes, though unlike ‘Batman’ or ‘Superman’, he is one of its least known characters, much like the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' were one of Marvel’s most obscure heroes. The character has over three different iterations, with Jamie being the latest addition.
