History Trivia / BlueBeetle

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The pre-ComicBook/New52 Jaime run of the comic. The bound volumes are out of print, and Amazon only has a handful of copies of each volume, with the exception of the first--for that one you're at the mercy of resellers, and ''used'' copies are a minimum of $37. There are always the digital copies sold at Comixology, but $1.99 per issue adds up fast. Averted in 2022, when DC rereleased [[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9S3K663?binding=paperback&ref=dbs_dp_sirpi the series in paperback]] in anticipation for the film adaptation.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Ted Kord was originally going to be a prominent recurring character in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', but the higher-ups stopped it due to having "other plans". [[ComicBook/TheAtom Ray Palmer]] eventually took his place, but his character and background still heavily derives from Ted.

* NamesTheSame: Jaime Reyes, the most recent Blue Beetle, is not to be confused with [[VideoGame/DeusEx JC Denton's doctor]].

** Same thing when Jaime became a major character in the second season of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. His second series was canceled right as the season began airing. Granted, Young Justice was infamous for its many inexplicable hiatuses, so there was never a guarantee that it ''would'' air.

* FollowTheLeader: Creator/JimSteranko, in ''Superheroes: A Never Ending Battle'', says he once asked Blue Beetle's creator how he came up with the character. "He told me in two words: Radio/GreenHornet."
