I frequently mention the actors and artists who have given Booster Gold a voice in comics and television. That's part of why this site exists. Therefore, I feel it's only fair that I recognize those who work behind the scenes to make that possible.

With that in mind, I direct you to Marc Alan Fishman's Comicmix.com article, "The Voice of an Entire Universe," about legendary DCU casting director Andrea Romano. Romano is responsible for Tom Everett Scott and Billy West in Justice League Unlimited's "The Greatest Story Never Told." That's some pretty good work.

The Robot Chicken "DC Comics Special" that aired on Cartoon Network back in September 2012 was amusing, but the DVD is going to be way better. Why? More Booster Gold.

As we already knew, Booster's lines were cut from the final episode, but they were saved for the DVD extras. TVshowsondvd.com describes Booster's cut sketch as "Booster Gold's Politics Are...Complex." Robert Greenberger reviewed the DVD for comicmix.com, and he described the deleted Booster Gold scene thusly:

...Booster Gold debating time traveling to kill Hitler with the JSA felt inappropriate (I guess you still shouldn't make fun of the Holocaust).

That sounds harsh. I feel compelled to defend Booster, but I also realize that there's usually a reason when something doesn't make the cut. We shouldn't expect deleted scenes to be better than what was used, even if they feature more Booster Gold.

You can find out whether or not you agree with the decision or the review when you watch the DVD yourself. It is released today with a suggested retail price of $14.98 ($19.98 for Blu-ray). You can find it wherever fine videos are sold, such as on Amazon.com.

(Thanks to Eyz for the release notification.)
