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.

Over the last few years, it’s become increasingly obvious that the San Diego Comic-Con needs a new name, given the amount of non-comic-related guests, panels and material to be found there (Not that I’m complaining; it isn’t every day that you get to walk into Castle Grayskull, unless you’re He-Man).
