Headscratchers / Blue Beetle (2023)

Go To

  • The characters seem to know a lot about Batman that people in-universe wouldn't know:
    • They compare Ted Kord's base to the Bat-Cave but I don't think people in the DCU would know that exists.
    • The uncle says that Ted Kord being the Blue Beetle makes sense because he's a reclusive billionaire but the former trope "Rich Idiot with No Job"note  existed because Batman media exists. People in the DCU don't know that Batman is Bruce Wayne or the Green Arrow is Oliver Queen.
      • Reverses into Fridge Brilliance: Many times, Zorro was the In-Universe inspiration for Batman. Of course a Latin family would be referencing tropes from a famous Latino hero.
      • Rudy probably just figured that a tech-based superhero would need a lot of money, and that superhero work explains why he was reclusive.
    • It's possible that Bruce Wayne revealed himself to be Batman in this new Shared Universe ala Tony Stark.
