Four, Maybe Five Second of Live-Action Blue Beetle Action
One of the animators who worked on that live-action Blue Beetle TV show test footage that Geoff Johns mentioned the other day apparently released a demo reel of his work into the wild, and it contains a tiny snippet of the Blue Beetle stuff. It starts at 0:49 and runs though 0:54 or so, and I agree with Robot 6 in that while it does look very much like CG, it’s still better than the screencaps indicated. The entirety of the footage is still coming to SDCC, so we’ll see the whole thing in a little over a month, I guess.
