Before the movie get released, why not spend some time listening to the 1940 Blue Beetle old time radio:

The Blue Beetle had a relatively short career on the radio, between May and September of 1940. Motion picture and radio actor Frank Lovejoy was the Blue Beetle for the first 13 episodes, while for the rest of the shows, the voice was provided by a different, uncredited actor. The Blue Beetle was a young police officer who saw the need for extra-ordinary crime fighting. He took the task on himself by secretly donning a superhero costume to create fear in the criminals who were to learn to fear the Blue Beetle's wrath.
The 13-minute segments were usually only two-parters. There are at least 72 episodes that have been saved over time, most of them still have that 'crackling' due to the fact that some of the tracks are from records.
You can also download the tracks from the internet archives: The Blue Beetle
I got hold of this series many years ago along with other Comic Book OTR programs (before youtube) so its nice to see them listed for free so people can go back in time and listen to the original media format.
