Kevin Shinick Hearts Booster Gold
Remember that Booster Gold clip that was cut from last September's Robot Chicken DC Comics Special? Kevin Shinick was a writer and voice actor for the episode. This weekend at ComicBook.com, Russ Burlingame got him to admit that his relationship with Booster Gold goes far deeper.
ComicBook.com: You did the thing with Booster Gold that never saw the light of day—are we going to get any Booster Gold this time around?
Shinick: I forget if I told you ages ago, but my spec script to get into comics was Booster Gold. I love the character, and it was Geoff Johns who got the ball rolling for me with comics for me. He said, "You should write comics. I think of you and I think of Booster Gold." I said I'd always loved him so I wrote this spec script and I gave it to Geoff and he loved it and that's what precipitated him saying, "Yeah, let me hook you up with DC." Sadly I didn't get to do Booster but I was able to do Batman right out of the gate so I can't complain about that.
ComicBook.com: Well, I meant on the Robot Chicken special, but that was awesome trivia to get by coincidence!
Shinick: Oh yeah! I was Booster Gold in the Special, too. I forgot. I was disappointed to see him cut from that. It was going back in time to kill Hitler—there was a whole scene that I recorded as Booster Gold that didn't make it, I'm sorry to say.
Shinick has written comics for household names like Batman and Spider-Man, but he got his start with Booster Gold. Pay attention up-and-comers, Booster Gold can make you a star!
