Smallville may be ending next year, but Clark Kent’s replacement may already be waiting in the wings. Spicing up a slow Sunday, DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer revealed yesterday on Twitter that DCE is preparing a live action television series based on the recent Blue Beetle series. He tweeted,
We have a live-action test of Jaime Reyes’ scarab activating his suit. It. Is. Awesome… If I can break it out of the vault, I’ll bring it to SDCC. LIVE ACTION BLUE BEETLE!!
There was no mention of where the live action series would air, or if any network had laid claim to it yet, but considering the relationship between DCE/Warners (and, for that matter, Johns himself) and the CW through Smallville, in addition to the fact that the CW will have a teen-superhero-shaped hole in their schedule in 2011/2012, it wouldn’t be entirely unlikely that that’s where it ends up…
