I never heard of BG until 2 years ago, when I first picked up a comic book. My whole Hero world was made up of memories of saturday morning cartoons and movies. The DC cartoon along with Video games will help Booster's popularity in the future. Also, Booster came out in the mid 80's while other's have been around for decades longer.

Personally, I agree children's cartoons are the ideal medium to spread the glory of Booster Gold. A live-action prime-time show is the second best option. Those will live on in syndication forever, and no printed medium gets the kind of attention that television does.

I really don't think that the era of Booster's origin (in the 1980s) is that big a handicap, except for the fact that it represents a gap in DC's television output. Booster is too new for SUPER FRIENDS and too old for YOUNG JUSTICE. Take a look at Martian Manhunter: he's never had much television presence and is virtually unknown to non-comic book fans, but he's been a lynchpin in the Justice League (and therefore the center of the DCU) since the team formed in 1960.

I guess what you're responding to is that you feel that Booster's relative lack of popularity is based on lack of awareness by the public, not any failing of the character.

Hopefully the mystery hinted at in the JLI Annual will play a pivotal roll in an upcoming Nu52 wide event. With Booster as a key player in such an event, he can't help but be propelled back into the prominent role he deserves. After all, time IS on his side...

DC teased its last big event (remember something called FLASHPOINT?) 18 months in advance. If Booster is held out for a big event, does that mean we wouldn't get him back until February 2014?

I doubt we'll have to wait for another FLASHPOINT sized event, just a threat worthy of a little time-meddling, possibly involving the Reach. If that's the case, since BLUE BEETLE has been cancelled, then the new THRESHOLD series might be the place to watch. Just a thought, based on a lot of IFs.
