DCEU is trying to improvise by introducing new characters although the previous projects have received a mixed response. ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ is the latest example that flopped at the box office and was criticized for lacking the fun elements that were featured in the first film. The franchise has a few projects planned for release in 2023 and including ‘Blue Beetle.’
The film will mark the cinematic debut of the character and will be the 14th installment in the DCEU. With a lineup of popular faces from the entertainment industry, the film is all set to bring back the lost reputation of DCEU.

‘Blue Beetle’ Is Based On Infinite Crisis Of DC Comics
‘Blue Beetle’ is ready to hit the big screens in 2023 and it is inspired by the video game ‘Injustice 2.’ The rest of the elements are taken from the comic book storyline ‘Infinite Crisis’ and the comic book miniseries, ‘Blue Beetle: Graduation Day.’
The main plot of ‘Infinite Crisis’ served as a sequel to the ‘Crisis of Infinite Earths in 1985.’ The storyline revisited all the characters and concepts from Crisis alongside the multiverse of DC. Among the characters, there were alternate versions of comic book stars like an alternate Superman, Kal-L. The nature of heroism was one of the important themes of the comic book.
A novelization adaptation was released on October 2006 by Penguin Group. An audiobook of the novelization of ‘Infinite Crisis’ was also released in two volumes in 2007. A multiplayer online battle arena video game of the same name was released on March 26, 2015, but it was shut down on August 14 of the same year.
