SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Blue Beetle. If you have not yet seen the film, proceed at your own risk!
As fans are quick to note, the present state of movies based on DC Comics is a bit messy. While new DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have an ambitious vision of a multiplatform, interconnected franchise that will be called the DC Universe and launch with the upcoming Superman: Legacy, not much is clear about where that leaves the heroes with blockbusters being released before then. The future beyond Blue Beetle, for example, is not entirely clear… but that hasn’t stopped the film from arriving on the big screen with a tease of a potential direction for a sequel.
