We've obtained preview footage of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode, "Fall of the Blue Beetle!" airing this Friday, January 23 on Cartoon Network at 8:00 PM, guest starring Wil Wheaton as the Silver Age Blue Beetle, Ted Kord. Yes, Wil Wheaton playing a wise-cracking technical wizard who's a bit of a geek... it's a real stretch of character. Take a look...
In this week’s episode Blue Beetle traces his legacy back to the original Blue Beetle, to learn why the Scarab has chosen him to share in its powers and become a super hero. The journey leads him to the dangerous Science Island where he battles legions of robots alongside Batman and learns the truth behind Ted Kord’s disappearance...

Unless I've been left out of touch with DC(I have a bit..), they are guaranteed a better treatment of Ted.
Oh, and Will is an awesome Ted I think. He probably begged for the role.

I miss Ted Kord.
He was the one Charlton character DC got unequivocably *right*.

From the VERY first moment I saw photos and clips of this series, with the Dick Sprang design, I knew I was going to love it. And I've yet to not adore an episode. Just kick back your heels fun.
Jaime has been treated well on B&tB so far, and based on the clips I've seen, they got Ted exactly right.
I still say it would be the ultimate irony if both Blue Beetles became the breakout stars of the series

If only DC had treated Ted this well.
