The Special Thanks part on the very finish of Blue Beetle is a little bit of a multitude, with three main inconsistencies. Hopefully they may repair it.

Just received again from seeing Blue Beetle on the BFI IMAX in London Waterloo, with my youngest. When you wish to go huge, you go huge. I managed to get a shot of the comedian ebook creator credit in the “Special Thanks! just before the post-credit scene (and yes, there is one, and it is fun, if not essential. The mid-credits scene is much more important.) And yes, it’s a fun film, stolen mostly by Adriana Barraza as Jaime Reyes, the new Blue Beetle‘s grandmother. I want another origin movie just for her. There’s plenty for the Ditko/Giffen Blue Beetle fans. And by giving the whole thing a class warfare undercurrent, rather than the usual superhero middle-class angst, makes for a far more exciting movie. But you don’t come to be for superhero movie critique, you want to know about the creator credits or special thanks in the movie, calling out the original creators of the characters filling the screen. There are no comic book creator names at the top of the film, just the usual “primarily based on characters created by DC”. The Special Thanks part on the very finish is a little bit of a multitude, with three main inconsistencies, the place one a part of a artistic crew is talked about, and the opposite isn’t…

• Keith Giffen, co-creator of the Jaime Reyes in Blue Beetle #1 in 2006.
• Cully Hamner, co-creator of the Jaime Reyes in Blue Beetle #1 in 2006.
• John Rogers, co-creator of the Jaime Reyes in Blue Beetle #1 in 2006.
• Paris Cullins, co-creator of Kord Industries, Carapax and Thomas Kord in Blue Beetle #1 in 1986.
• Dan DiDio, writer of DC Comics when Jaime Reyes was launched and important for the character revamp in 2006.
• Steve Ditko, creator of the Ted Kord Blue Beetle, in Captain Atom #83 in 1966, although scripter Gary Friedrich isn’t credited.
• Will Eisner, is believed to be the scripter of the primary Blue Beetle story as Dan Garret in Mystery Men #1 in 1939. However, artist and often credited co-creator of the unique Blue Beetle, Charles Nicholas Wojtkoski isn’t named.
• Joe Gill, author of Blue Beetle in 1964, as Dan Garrett, an archaeologist gaining superhuman powers from a mystical scarab. Artist Tony Tallarico was not credited.
• Jack Kirby, creator of O.M.A.C. the one-man military corps in OMAC #1 in 1974.
• Mike Norton, co-creator of Elena Leal, Jaime’s grandmother, together with author Jai Nitz, who isn’t credited, Blue Beetle #26, 2008.
• Len Wein, co-creator of Kord Industries, Carapax and Thomas Kord in Blue Beetle #1 in 1986.

The lack of point out of Wojtkoski would be the most controversial one. Will Eisner ran the studio with Jerry Iger (whose grand-nephew now runs Disney), that created the comedian books and had said that Charles Nicholas was simply the title utilized by numerous artists on Blue Beetle. Charles Wotjkowski, the principal candidate, and recognized artist, was to later legally change his final title to Nicholas. Chuck Cuidera, the co-creator of Blackhawk, additionally claimed co-creatorship, and different candidates embody Al Carreno. Maybe the brand new film might carry a brand new focus to these clouded days of 1939
