DC is grooming Blue Beetle (the modern one) for a live-action series (presumably for the CW). No idea where DC's sudden confidence in the character is coming from though it should be noted that DC/WB wanted a young male superhero on TV just a few years (the thankfully aborted Dick Grayson prequel series). Also consider they may be planning Smallville's successor (which, imo, was really the whole deal behind The Graysons and that Aquaman pilot).
It seems Blue Beetle is actually far along and may have a showing at this year's SDCC.
