Next time I get to a comic book store, I'm going to look for some Ted Kord Blue Beetle. I like what I've heard about him via fannish osmosis, and Nite Owl II was one of my favorite characters in Watchmen, so it's certainly worth a try.

If wikipedia is to be believed, at one point Kurt Russell was considered to play Dan Dreiberg (presumably not for the adaptation that actually made it to the screen, given the age issues.) Maybe Kurt Russell is a more versatile actor than I'm giving him credit for, but - the mind, it boggles.
