Blue Beetleis a simple superhero movie that has received positive reviews but struggled at the box office. It earned $128 million worldwide against a $104 million budget. Though it’s not as bad asShazam! or The Flash, it reflects the continuing DC’s recent box office challenges.
On X (formerly Twitter), a user posted on Sunday,“Blue Beetle is peak DC. I don’t care what y’ll say,”to which another user replied:
