Jaime Reyes’ first solo outing didn’t change the hierarchy of power in the DC universe, and it wasn’t the greatest superhero movie of all time that tried to honor the brand’s legacy. In the end, it was a conventional superhero flick that could’ve come out in the mid-’00s and not much would’ve changed. But that’s what makes it so enjoyable in the first place: it’s not trying to be anything but a fun origin story for a hero people may not yet be familiar with. And in that sense, it’s a fairly revolutionary swing to pull off in 2023, and here’s hoping we see more of Jaime in the future.
