Warning : Contains raider for Blue Beetle # 11 !

Summary

In a world of stranger , divinity , and monsters , it ’s only a matter of sentence before a few of these DC Universe citizens start up fall in love . Back in the daytime of the originalTeen Titans , the romanticism was between Dick Grayson ’s newly coin Nightwingpersona and Starfire , a Tamaranean noncitizen . Since then , I ’ve been wait for a romance of that order of magnitude , and I think I ’ve witness it beginning withBlue Beetleand Oo’li .

InBlue Beetle#11 by Josh Trujillo and Adrián Gutiérrez , Jaime Reyes and the alien Oo’li share a sudden candy kiss , with Blue Beetle thrown back like a damsel in hurt . This image hasa revamped Dick and Kory vibe , and you ca n’t convince me otherwise .

Ever since DC gaveBlue Beetle a fresh startwith his Scarabaeus sacer ’s origin in out space ( instead of from Egyptian thaumaturgy ) , Jaime Reyes has had almost alone otherworldly battle . Like Superman , having powers originating from a different earthly concern means feature enemies from likewise exotic worlds - and even devotee , too . This new romance with Oo’li of the Horizon is the perfect change of pace for Jaime ’s love lifeand mold of supporting characters , even if it does recall the classic Titans romance , Nightwing and Starfire .

Nightwing and Starfire Shared a Romance of Cosmic Proportions

The Blueprint for Blue Beetle’s Romance

Nightwing and Starfire have had a jolting route , but many fans reason that they’reDC ’s best couple . However , more recently , Nightwing and Batgirlare promote their romance as Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon ( also a redhead — everybody has a eccentric ) finally take the next pace in their relationship . That leaves the expansion slot for an alien - human love story in the DCU wide clear . It seems that Blue Beetle is up for the challenge , although Oo’li is the one initiating the Latinian language in the first position , just like Starfire did .

In an ever - switch world of crises and continuity shifts , it would be overnice to see a Teen Titans love story that lasts .

Dick and Kory both partake in a tragical adhesiveness in that they were coerce to view their own parent die . While this law of similarity was n’t enough of a cause to stay together , I think the more lighthearted pairing of Jaime Reyes and Oo’li will get it proper , showing me thattragedy is n’t a just base for love story . Leave the catastrophe to Batman , I say . Let other hero come in erotic love .

Blue Beetle Is Due For a Good Romance

Variant Cover by Jacoby Salcedo

I think nothing sweeter is owe to Jaime Reyes for upholdingthe Blue Beetle legacythan a refreshful romanticistic outset . With an foreign scarabaeus , he is the everlasting candidate for a love affair from outer space . in person , I just think the entire moment is too cute , withhow nervous Jaime gets , like Dick losing his cool , and how much Oo’li reverberate Starfire in her nervy questions about human customs . The way she is the one drive the Latinian language by dipping Jaime into a kiss reminds me so much of how Starfire was much more sinewy than Nightwing .

While Blue Beetle and Oo’li parallel a long - past tense memory of Dick and Kory , I just trust they do n’t end up like them . In an ever - alter world of Crises and continuity shifts , it would be nice to see aTeen Titansromance that lasts . If anything , Blue Beetledeserves a romance , particularly if his novel lovemaking pastime is from tabu space .
