Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are developing a feature film centering on the popular DC Comics duo of Booster Gold and the Blue Beetle, according to The Tracking Board -- and helming the project as director and executive producer is one of the studio's television juggernauts: Greg Berlanti of "Arrow," "The Flash" and "Supergirl" fame.

The fan-favorite heroes, affectionately known as Blue and Gold, tend to skew toward more comedic adventures, with their fun friendship and bromance the driving force behind their chemistry and appeal. Despite earlier rumors of the cinematic DC Universe's "no-humor" policy, the report claims the upcoming film will, in fact, retain this comedic take, calling the pitch "a superhero buddy cop movie."

Booster Gold, created by Dan Jurgens, is a time-traveler from the future who journeyed to our present to gain fame and fortune as a superhero. He first appeared in 1986 and saw increased prominence in the DCU following the best-selling "Death of Superman" storyline in the '90s, gaining even more popularity through his appearances in "Justice League" (where his friendship with Blue Beetle Ted Kord began) and the "Booster Gold" series that ran from 2007-2011.

Although the famous Blue and Gold team-up follows Booster and the Ted Kord version of Blue Beetle, the reports indicates that the movie will feature Jaime Reyes version of the character. Created by Keith Giffen, John Rogers and Cully Hamner, Reyes became the bearer of the Blue Beetle legacy during DC's "Infinite Crisis" and later starred in his own series. Unlike Kord, who utilizes his intellect and technology to fight crime, Reyes actually possesses a suit of armor and extraordinary powers that both stem from an artifact known as The Scarab.

A writer, director and producer, Berlanti not only works on "Arrow," "Flash" and the upcoming "Supergirl" on CBS, but previously produced a pilot script for a potential Booster Gold television series targeted for SyFy alongside fellow DC TV vet Andrew Kreisberg. Outside of his DC projects, he is producing Archie's live-action "Riverdale" series for The CW, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. The movie would mark Berlanti's return to features following 2010's "Life As We Know It."

Aquaman Is "Meaner and Upset" in Warners' DC Movies, Says Jason Momoa

For decades, Aquaman has been the go-to superhero to make fun of (he does, after all, talk to fish, among other aquatic life forms). But when Jason Momoa debuts as this member of Warner Bros.' cinematic DC universe, things might change. To hear Momoa describe the character, it's no more Mr. Nice Underseas King.

Momoa brought up the topic of Aquaman's new temperament when he was asked during a recent interview whether the character on screen would wear a costume similar to his classic comic book look. Momoa hedged his bets, while leaking information about the superhero's motivations in the film.

"Well, there might be some bit of orange and green," said the actor, referring to the colors of the classic Aquaman costume. "A bit of respect for prior work, but I think he is meaner now and upset — look at what has been done to our oceans. That's his world that has been polluted."

The idea of an Atlantean ruler out for revenge against humanity sounds more like Marvel's Sub-Mariner than DC's Aquaman, but such a repositioning does fit in with the darker world of Man of Steel, where Superman has to kill to save the day, and judging from trailers for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Batman is even angrier than in previous movies.

Momoa was also asked about whether, as rumored, Aquaman would show up in Batman v Superman ahead of his solo film, but the actor played coy, replying "Well, we will see. I really can’t say much on that right now."

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and, possibly maybe Jason Momoa, will be released March 25, 2016.
