Breaking news alert! Just in time for them to talk about this ad infinitum at Comic-Con, Deadline exclusively reports

HBO Max is progressing with its Booster Gold TV series and has attached Our Flag Means Death creator David Jenkins to write the pilot.

And we can be reasonably certain that it is true because Jenkins posted about it on Instagram.

Now, ray of sunshine that I am, I'm inclined to point out that this is at least the third announced writer for the current iteration of a Booster Gold series which has been in the works at Warner Bros since *checks notes* 2011. And they are still working on hammering out a single pilot episode. I will, as they say, believe it when I see it.

But that's just me being grumpy.

I'll concede that having a writer working on the project is certainly more promising than having no writer. So adjust your own hopes and dreams accordingly.

(Thanks to Rob Snow, whose emails inspired me to go ahead and post this news before I get any grumpier from the inevitable tidal wave of unfounded Internet speculation this announcement will unleash.)

It's late, I'm busy with work, and there's precious little Booster Gold news on the radar, so I'm inclined to say that this is all the post that you're going to get today...

...but then Google slipped into my Inbox with a link to this:

It feels like forever since I've seen any new Booster Gold cosplay, so I'm quite pleased to find cupid.cosplay will be repping Booster by crashing showings of Superman this weekend. Very in-character. VERY Boosterrific!

(And don't worry if Skeets isn't ready in time. That's what time travel is for!)

Now if you'll excuse me, this work isn't going to do itself.

Start your week with Booster Gold fan art!

First up is this image drawn by Jose Holder, a professional concept artist for Warner Bros Games. I know it says "TikTok," but clicking on the image will actually take you to the "making of" video on Instagram.com.

Second is this Justice League International vs X-Men re-imagining of Jim Lee's 1991 X-Men #3 cover by professional comic artist Kevin Maguire (drawn as a commission for Megacon, spotted on X.com by Rob Snow):

Third, because I don't want anyone to think that Booster Gold should only be drawn by pros, here's a pic of Booster (and Skeets!) by artist jaywani (whose work I have posted before) found on DeviantArt.com:

Keep drawing, everybody!

Per TVTropes.org, Internet Rule 63 is defined: "For every given male character, there is a female version of that character, and vice versa."

Example from instagram.com/marlon_vallieri/:

While the original pinup artist, Marlon Vallieri, identifies this piece as "Booster Gold", I like to think of it as a drawing of Booster's fraternal twin sister, Michelle, also known as the superhero Goldstar.

Although, come to think of it, I suppose it's possible that all the fan art pinups that at first glance look to be Booster Gold might really be gender-swapped Goldstars. It's all a matter of perspective, innit?

On the other hand, Skeets, being a genderless robot, is always just Skeets, and that's the way we like it!
