<p>Blue Beetle has the potential to become the next mainstream superhero as he is already popular in the comics and he looks cool enough to attract casual fans as well. However, there is a problem. Warner Brothers have had a string of disasters, including the shenanigans that happened with Black Adam, the cancellation of Batgirl, and all the drama going on with DCU. These events could turn the upcoming projects into collateral damage. Additionally, the personal lives of actors have also alienated fans, as Amber Heard and Ezra Miller’s recent controversies put the future of The Flash and Aquaman in peril.</p>

I wonder if Warner Bros will forever Blacklist the Rock for what he did. Not only Black Adam flopped because of his demands for high budget and creative control, It made fans not want to trust DC movies anymore. Fury of Gods don't deserve to flop but it got guilty by Association with Black Adam.

James Gunn is also to Blame announcing DCU will reboot before letting some movies get released in theaters first. Fans do not want to comics since they know these movies will not be part of DCU.Though he said Shazam is part of DCU the association with Black Adam also affects it.

I have to admit, I'm a bit hesitant about Blue Beetle. While the trailer looks promising, the recent string of disappointments from Warner Brothers and DCU makes me worry about the future of superhero movies. The cancellation of Batgirl and the controversies surrounding some actors have left a sour taste in my mouth. I hope DC can deliver a well-crafted film that can stand on its own, regardless of the drama behind the scenes. I love the diversity since its rare for me for to see people who looks like me on screen though.

Even if the Shazam/Black Adam crossover is canceled, I'm still thrilled for Blue Beetle. After seeing the teaser, which seems intriguing, I'm curious to see how they'll approach the Scarab relic. Rather of relying exclusively on the success of previous films, I believe DC should focus on creating well-written narratives with fascinating characters. If they can pull it off, Blue Beetle has the potential to be a wonderful addition to the superhero movie genre. They should avoid making it political in order to avoid appearing "woke." Avoid making it political because audiences are tired of politics in superhero movies.

Blue Beetle gives me mixed feelings. While I admire DC's efforts to broaden their superhero roster, I am concerned that they may be overly focused on appealing to a specific demographic. Recent issues involving several actors have also left me with a foul taste in my mouth. Nonetheless, if the film can produce a well-written story with engaging characters, I'm prepared to give it a shot. At the end of the day, it's all that matters to me as a fan.

I have no expectations for this film because I have never read any Blue Beetle comics. The trailer, on the other hand, is intriguing, and I'm curious to see how the Scarab artifact will play into the plot. Rather than aiming to establish a cinematic universe like Marvel, I believe DC should focus on developing stand-alone films. I'm willing to give it a go if they can provide a well-written plot with interesting characters.

While the character has a following in the comics, he's not as well-known as other DC superheroes like Batman or Superman. I worry that the movie might not attract a wide enough audience to be successful.

I'm optimistic that DC will deliver a well-crafted film that can stand on its own, regardless of the drama behind the scenes. The movie's diversity is groundbreaking, and representation is essential to help change perceptions and create new opportunities

Rather than creating a cinematic universe like Marvel, DC should concentrate on producing stand-alone films, and if they succeed in crafting a well-written plot with captivating characters, the film may be worth watching.
