<BEGIN RANT> I was reading The Return of Bruce Wayne and it struck me that Booster Gold's presence is, to say the least, unnecessary. If Superman and Green Lantern don't resent Booster's presence, it is only because to this point Booster hasn't done anything at all. Who wants to travel through time on a mission to save the universe with a braggart, do-nothing tag-along? I sure hope that this story and specifically Booster's presence within is going somewhere, because so far I'm not impressed, only confused and irritated. <END RANT>

At least we're see what he does in Time Masters. But really I'm more annoyed that Bruce got one over Rip Hunter who's a freaking Time Master. The guy that has that remote to the time platform for emergency uses that says that the time sphere is their only escape. Which means that they have to trust Bruce to be able to figure out this mess without them.

Dan Jurgens would have to address that in the Time Masters series. It wouldn't be too much of a Batman story if Bruce had to be rescued outright, though. "Return of Bruce Wayne" is supposed to be all about Bruce Wayne, greatest detective of all time, pitting his wits against time itself, after all.

I get that it's a Batman story. and I'm sure that Jurgens will flesh out Booster's role. I'm just miffed that so far Morrison hasn't come up with anything for Booster to do than stand around and look stupid. He doesn't have to save the day, but he should really be more than scenery if he's going to be included in each issue.

I feel the same. If you are going to bother to show Rip and Booster have them do something useful since this is the field they work in. Yes Bruce has to shine but for him to have information about time that confuses Rip? That makes no sense especially since we know from BG that Rips' very aware of Hypertime. And given the change in the relationship between Bruce and Booster it would be a perfect time to develop it further. Instead it just looks like no one but Bruce can do anything right.
