- Plenty of detail on the Batwing and minifigures
- Can be hung on the wall, making it a perfect display piece

Blue Beetle
An Underrated Gem
This DCEU movie serves as the origin story of the underrated superhero known as the Blue Beetle. It shows how Jaime Reyes gained his special powers and adapted to them.
- Likable characters
- Funny
- An origin story that hasn't been re-told a dozen times
- Fairly predictable
The DCEU hasn't been an overwhelming critical success. This is likely why some of the recent movies have been overlooked, including Blue Beetle. It isn't the greatest superhero movie ever made, yet, it's a solid and enjoyable flick.
It's nice to have a comic book movie that is a bit more grounded instead of the multiverse-heavy titles we have been getting recently. Plus, there's plenty of humor and heart in the title. So, it's worth a watch.
