What absolute garbage that was. They basically turned him into Ironman. If we ever get Blue Beetle on a show again, they need to look at things like Kamen Rider and Guyver for examples, on how to do a Blue Beetle costume.
He needs to look as sleek as possible, and not like a bi-pedal tank. He isn't supposed to super threatening. And his armor doesn't look like obvious armor either. It's all more organic.
They need to start with a simple suit, like scuba divers wear, but with additional layers to give it all that riveted (is that the right word?) look. And on top of that, you put the armored parts, the chest piece, the back antlers, etc.
This is how he's supposed to look.
This is how close fans get with a limited budget. And at the same time, they are freaking creative, because they give the armored parts that chitin, bug look.
Give a good cosplayer the same budget that these designers working on TV shows have, and they could probably come up with something really amazing.
Again, this them with their own limited budget.
