Blue Beetle

Blue Beetle (played by actor Xolo Maridueña, who's of Mexican and Cuban descent) is the first Latino superhero in Warner Bros.' DC Extended Cinematic Universe. Director, writer, producers, and majority of main cast are Latino. Set in a fictional city (kind of a Miami-El Paso hybrid) where many of the residents are Latino. Main characters are Mexican American, and Mexican culture is prominently featured. Characters frequently speak in Spanish. Difficulties of the Mexican/Central American immigrant experience are woven into the story, including someone not reporting being the victim of a crime for fear of deportation, and a late-night raid that includes use of phrase "round them up." Female lead character is Brazilian (played by Brazilian actor). While this is Jaime's story, female characters are fully realized and are depicted as intelligent, brave, independently capable. Victoria Kord (Susan Sarandon) is a White woman over 70 who has impressive business acumen; her accomplishments and efforts over decades to build her empire have been continually thwarted by sexism. White boss continually calls a Latino employee the same wrong last name in a way that's condescending and racist.

No blood or gore, but visuals can be intense and scary. When the ancient alien biotechnology connects to a host, it's somewhat terrifying, looking sort of like a demon possession, with eyes turning red, bulges visibly moving around inside the host's body, the body writhing, and the host screaming in agony. Deaths of parents and sympathetic characters. Harmless characters are targeted by a SWAT team that violently invades their home and shoots at them. Sci-fi fantasy action fights (mostly in mech suits), with bodies thrown around and hitting big objects, punches, and kicks. Use of fantasy weapons that look electrified, like a giant hatchet, sword, and fist. Hail of bullets from assault weapons. Explosions. Constant peril. Brief images of war from the point of view of a child forced into serving, including shooting a gun.

Long kiss. Erection joke. When Jaime returns to his "human" state, he's nude; no sensitive body parts shown.

Frequent language, including "s--t," "ass," "a--hole," "brat," "bulls--t," "d--k," "goddammit," "hell," "piss," "stupid," and "what the fuuuuhhhh..." A woman is called "cupcake." White boss continually calls a Latino employee the same wrong last name in a way that's condescending and racist.
