List of Batman: The Brave and The Bold Characters - Heroes - Blue Beetle - Jaime Reyes

Jaime Reyes

• Voice Actor: Will Friedle

The scarab eventually finds and bonds itself with teenager Jaime Reyes, and he becomes the third and current Blue Beetle. Batman mentors Reyes in how to use his powers and how to become a better hero, and even teams up with him to battle villains Kanjar Ro and Sportsmaster. Curious about his origin, Reyes finds Ted Kord's old lair in "Fall of the Blue Beetle!", and uses the Bug airship to travel to Science Island where he is manipulated by Jarvis (pretending to be Ted). Batman and Blue Beetle stop Jarvis's plan. Blue Beetle joins the other heroes in hunting down Batman in "Game Over for Owlman!", when Owlman disguises himself as Batman to commit crimes. He is captured by Owlman and trapped in an electrified cell. He is freed by a massive, muscular Batman and helps defeat Gorilla Grodd. In "Night of the Huntress!", he develops a burgeoning crush on The Huntress. In "Revenge of the Reach!", he begins to become a mind slave to the Reach, an alien race that uses scarabs like Jaime's to turn aliens into super powered beings until the scarabs take control of their minds for a full-fledged Reach invasion. Jaime defeats the Reach and regains his mind with the help of Batman, the Green Lantern Corps, and his own willpower. He appears in "Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!" as one of the heroes Aquaman helps on his family vacation. The King of Atlantis helps him defeat the Planet Master in a gold mine robbery in El Paso, Texas (Aquaman even dubs this battle as "Plague of the Planet Master!"). He appears after in the episodes "The Power of Shazam!", "The Siege of Starro! Part One" and "The Siege of Starro! Part Two", where he appears as a hero controlled by Starro. He appears in the teaser segment in "Cry Freedom Fighters!", where he helps Stargirl defeat Mantis. Blue Beetle later appears in "Darkseid Descending!", where he is recruited by Batman for the new Justice League.
