Here's the story for the team up
Dan Garrett’s partner on the force, Mike Manning, has decided to once and for all hunt Blue Beetle down. Because he sees him as a menace. He thinks all these dressed up crime-fighters are. They’re a plague in society.
The hero is doing his usual patrolling of the city at night and about to expose a drug ring, Suddenly, he’s surrounded by police cars and armed cops. They don’t care about the criminals but only to catch the good guy.
Mike unmasks the vigilante and gets a shocking surprise w.hen the identity is revealed. It's Dan!
He could maybe react by punching him in the face? The truth has been kept away from him all these years. That could justify the anger.
While Dan is held in custody, awaiting trial, his friend Sparkington J. Northrup jr (“Sparky”) visits him.
He’s known him since the he was temporarily hired as his bodyguard. The easy-going young lad gave him clues about how to defeat the evil Ted Kord and his martial arts skills. It was by using disco moves.
A fun detail is that he barely seems to have aged since they first met 12 years ago. LOL
They talk through the cell bars. A tear runs down Sparky’s cheek. “I will always cheer for you, always believe in you!!”
This is the end of Blue Beetle. His superhero days are over!
We see some police work being done before Mike receives a phone call. It’s from some authority that wants to *have the goods delivered*.
Suddenly, there’s a call on the police radio about Blue Beetle dealing with a group of opium smugglers.
Mike still believes there’s only one of them, he can’t understand what’s happening.
He yells at the kid to go, then he confronts Dan angrily. The masked menace now has inspired copycats.
But we know that other Beetle is obviously Ted Kord who’s left his villain days behind him.
In the future, Booster Gold reads old records about the superheroes of the early 2000s but something is wrong. His friend Dan Garrett is now listed as a villain and there is hardly any information about the other people in spandex. Instead, there are a lot of files that tells of anarchy and vandalism.
The timeline has recently changed.
He approaches Time Masters (formerly known as Linear Men) which have only just discovered that things have been altered in the past.
It’s causing ripples through time. It won’t be long before it becomes permanent and their own present will be different.
Does Booster’s last visit back in time have something to do with this?
The only choice is to go back and save the future.
To not risk making more changes, Time Masters decide to only send one of their agents, Rip Hunter, instead of a whole team.
Booster is allowed to join the mission because he has the most experience with the past. He’s been there two times.
They take a future vehicle with them. A van.
The first thing is to make sure that Dan Garrett is never arrested in 2012. That’s a tipping point when it went downhill.
It’s back to the opening scene. The hero is rescued at the last moment but the cops are on their tail. Rip is a good driver and manages to outmanoeuvre them. At the same time, he gives a short briefing about their mission.
(the filming angle inside the car is here done in as in the old days of Hollywood, having a film clip being shown at the vehicle’s rear window... for the sake of doing a homage)
During the sequence, police cars crash into each other like crazy. Dan asks if cops drive this bad in the future too.
The group needs a hideout. An abandoned brick stone factory will work. They contact Ted Kord and ask him to come there. He has to be informed of what’s happening.
What the changed superhero records in the future say is that when Blue Beetle was caught by the police after being a public enemy for decades, other people like him were rarely seen in the months that followed. They seem to have slowly faded away, one by one.
Streets would no longer be safe. The number of crimes and violence increased rapidly.
The worst part is that the records now claim it was what the vigilantes had planned all along. Old television broadcasts and newspaper articles had been re-edited and falsified in order to put the heroes in bad light. To depict them as bad guys. To mislead the future about what these amazing crime-fighters really did for society.
Booster says they should find other extraordinary people. It’s time to unite, not work alone. The world must see heroes for what they really are.
Booster and Rip go out-of-state and visit a science facility in another city.
They’re looking for a *mr Ray Palmer* but are told that he went on a meeting at an undisclosed location. That was few days ago and he hasn’t been heard from since.
However, his assistant Albert Pratt introduces himself and seems to be more than willing to help with anything.
Rip checks something on his futuristic watch which have access to a database of the original historical records, before they changed. Time Masters have that kind of luxury.
“He can be useful too”.
Meanwhile somewhere else, Dan and Ted Kord are in some shady parts of another city. They knock on an old vintage office door with the sign “Ralph Dibny, private detective”.
Booster has brought the blue scarab back with him. Future scientists didn’t really understand everything about it. Only that it attaches itself to the body and becomes a part of the nervous system. Which makes it able to give direct signals to the brain. The device is very advanced even by future standards.
Time Masters have looked at the scarab as well. They confirm it becomes and acts as if it’s a real part of the body. The device seems to be half technological, half organic.
Booster wants the heroes to bring in the Jaime Reyes kid too, the third Blue Beetle. He’s the one who had merged with the scarab. But it’s not his present they should look for. He’s is a completely different person at this point. Without having access to the powersuit for years, he would end up on the other side of the law. Always seeking kicks similar to wearing the Beetle armor.
Jamie has to be taken from the same time when he handed the scarab over to Booster and Rip for a future analysis. That was four years prior.
In other words, it’s needed to go back to 2008. It’s another crucial point in history. Bad stuff will happen soon that year. It could end some heroic paths that are meant to go on. Not only for Jaime Reyes.
The scene is a reshot of the one where Dan, Ted and Jaime say their goodbyes to Booster and Rip, after having fought Jarvis Kord’s robots. As soon as the three Blue Beetles have gone in separate directions, the 2012 Booster approaches him.
Jaime: “Already back? That was fast!”
The he sees Dan and Ted. “But how…?”
He turns and points to the spot from where he last saw them. “You were right over there!”
Booster: “It’s how time travel works. It makes people able to show up anywhere, anytime. Amazing, isn’t it?”
Rip walks up to them. “Stop wasting time!. Listen Jaime, we need you to come with us!”
Jaime: “Where to?”
Rip Hunter: “To the future… 2012!”
Jaime: “Is it about the end of the world?”
Booster: “Don’t worry! He’ll explain!”
When Jaime sees their high tech van, he goes “Holy s**t!”
Inside the van, Rip gives the scarab back to Jaime Reyes. He gives a short briefing about the test results and warns him to use it, it can change his behavior and thought process. That thing should only be activated when life is at stake and there’s no other option.
Next up is a visit to another moment later that year.
NASA scientist (and secret superhero) Ted Knight runs the risk of becoming Amanda Waller’s pawn. He’s far too important for that, he has a legacy to live up to. That journey must continue.
Dan and Booster manage to convince him to come with them. The truth is that he already felt it was a hidden agenda behind the Africa mission.
The Sylvester Pemberton boy also has a destiny to fulfill. He looks up to Spaceman a lot and will one day continue his work.
The rich kid is intercepted just when school’s over for the day and he’s about to be picked up. Jaime approaches him with a promise about adventures and to work with three Blue Beetles if he goes with them to the future. It sounds a whole lot of fun. He’s definitely up for the task.
Pat Dugan is brought along because of his role as a “muscle man”.
Lyle Norg happens to be standing next to them. He wants to go for a ride in the cool futuristic vehicle too, and climbs in with the others.
Ted Kord asks who that other kid is.
Sylvester goes “It’s my best mate. He can do some really cool stuff!”.
Then he sees Ted Knight and become more excited than before. “You’re here too!!”
The school in question has students from some very influential families. It doesn’t go unnoticed that strangers talk to kids, take them inside their car and drive off.
The police are called right away. A new chase takes place.
Rip complains that they have failed to go under the radar with this mission
Sylvester laughs and says it’s like being in a movie. He turns around and gives the finger to the cops.
