From Panel to Screen
Russ Burlingame, the Lois Lane of Booster Gold journalism, recently posted his own picks for the Booster Gold stories best suited for adaptation into a live action movie. His list included:
- Booster Gold Volume 1 #6 ("To Cross the Rubicon"): the origin story of Booster Gold. Every super hero's first movie has to be his origin story, right?
- Booster Gold Volume 1 #10 ("Death Grip of the 1000"): Booster Gold vs The 1000. It was his first comic adventure!
- Booster Gold Volume 2 #41 ("Booster - Busted!"): The trial of Michael "Booster" Carter for crimes against time travel. We're long overdue for the first super-hero courtroom drama.
- Justice League International #34 ("Club JLI"): Blue and Gold hijinks on KooeyKooeyKooey. Four words: Fire in a bikini.
- 52: Booster Gold saves the Multiverse. This sounds ambitious, but keep in mind that this entire story took place by design without DC's heavy hitters.
- Booster Gold Volume 2 #1 ("52 Pick-Up"): Booster Gold as The Greatest Hero You've Never Heard Of. Pretty much the same as the current NBC television show Timeless. If that's a hit....
You can read Burlingame's justification for these stories at ComicBook.com.
