You know I was bummed out when they didn't do an episode with Blue Beetle or Blue Beetle & Booster Gold in Justice League Unlimited,but I'm happy to see him on here.Will Wheaton fits perfectly for Ted Kord too.It's nice to see the 2 inspirations of Nite Owl working side by side too I've always like Blue Beetle.

YOU FUCKIN ASSHOLES -I mean the writers of this show.

Ted Kord never had the Scarab, he never has had powers. He is a great character but he is nothing more than a comedic pussy version of Batman. He has gadgets and a vehicle but no super powers.

Dan Garret is the original Blue Beetle from the golden and Silver age not Ted.

Dan had the Scarab and now the new kid Jamie has it.

I know its a half ass cartoon but this story did not need to be fucked up.

Blah Blah Blah....

Since when did a 22 minute animated kids cartoon require historical accuracy?

Sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Swallows but the story actually does use the backstory you just laid out. Personally I think you the writers an apology now. ..... Well... GO ON!
