DCAU:YJ Aqualad gets comic canon & live action

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 15, 2010, 4:26 PM



So 2 things in DC Comics news. [link]

#1. Blue Beetle. Specifically, Jaime Reyes -- Blue Beetle #3 (whom I love) has a  live action show currently under consideration. There is nothing definite, but they have done a very rough live action screen test of Blue Beetle transforming.

To quote:
"...and [it's] something we’re using in the hopes of bringing him to the small screen. There was so much excitement when I mentioned this on Twitter I thought I’d share a little more information...

I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Blue Beetle’s introduction way back in INFINITE CRISIS. I’ve said it before, but thanks to the BLUE BEETLE series launched by Keith Giffen and John Rogers with a great design by Cully Hamner, Jaime Reyes rocks. Great character, great story, great look. He’s already appeared in animation, had action figures and right now he’s on my computer in live-action glory. I have an early special effects test that has been floating around of what his armored scarab-suit could look like. This isn’t final. This isn’t greenlit. It’s only a test that was done. We still have a long way to go to see if we can get this off the ground and a lot of people to jump on board..."


There are more images at the DC blog.







#2. The DC Animated Universe(DCAU) officially announced the addition of a new show recently, "Young Justice" for Fall 2010. You right remember me spazzing out in joy. [link]

Well, at the time, there was some other spazzing going on. A lot of people were not too excited about the black Aqualad (somebody coined the term Afro-Atlantean). Well, the new Aqualad is going to be joining DC comics canon, AND we have been promised a lot of other DC characters will be putting in YJ appearances. (Secret? Wonder Girl? Empress? Blue Beetle? --Hey, the new Aqualad is from NM, it could happen.)

To quote:
"At the same time, as previously announced, the YOUNG JUSTICE cartoon series is just around the corner featuring Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis and the all-new Aqualad who will be appearing very briefly in BRIGHTEST DAY #4, but really comes into his own in BRIGHTEST DAY #10 before hitting the small screen this fall.

When we first meet Aqualad in BRIGHTEST DAY he’s Jackson Hyde. An average student, with an on-and-off girlfriend, that’s pretty bored in New Mexico.

Since he was young, he’s been taught by his parents to fear water…they don’t want him near it because his true parents would be able to locate him. Not to mention certain changes happen to Jackson when he gets in the water.

Jackson has kept this secret hidden for years, lying to his girlfriend about being afraid of drowning, being unable to swim and being in the dark about the mysterious tattoos he’s had since birth. He’s done his best to avoid it. But soon something’s going to force him out into the open and dive into the water.

Obviously, this all ties into the larger Aquaman and Mera story within BRIGHTEST DAY, but Jackson’s adventures will also be seen in the YOUNG JUSTICE animated series this fall along with more DC characters than you could imagine.

I really believe in the story behind Jackson and, like Blue Beetle, I hope you give him a chance to grab your heart and imagination as he arrives on the scene in comics and cartoons."

Bisexual is what everyone was before society kicked in.

Friend: May the force be with you.
Me: And also with you.

Jaime looks pretty good, especially in that last picture--I'd totally watch the hell out of that show. :D
