Blue Beetle's streaming debut: What to expect | Release date & more
Warner Bros.' latest DC offering, Blue Beetle, made its theatrical debut on August 18, 2023, with less fanfare than expected, ending up as a box office underperformer, grossing only $129.2 million worldwide.

Recent trends have shown Warner Bros.' inclination to make special announcements concerning these high-profile titles, which might explain their absence from the initial streaming schedule.

Given Warner Bros.' previous streaming patterns, its arrival could have been expected as early as October.
