I don't mind returning Booster to his media-pitchman ways, as long they keep his growth as a hero. Perhaps this is DCnU's way of getting Booster and Beetle together for a new Blue & Gold series! One can only hope.

Blue Beetle could certainly use the BOOST "er" in sales ;)

"in another lifetime", yeah, right... -sigh-

Not ever having had his past adventures with Ted is one thing, but here with Jaime they simply go on the wrong foot altogether. Why's everyone so angry all the time in this New 52?!?
Booster trying to kill a child stuck in an alien armor, really? Not the Booster we knew!

In all fairness to Booster Eyz, it sounds like he believes that once a Scarab takes control of a victim, not only can it never be removed, but it destroys the person it controls. So in Booster's mind, Scarab Jaime is the equivalent of a zombie/vampire/Black Lantern.

Of course, that makes Booster look even worse for letting Jaime go just because it would have brought him bad media attention. But I like to think it was also because he began to doubt that Jaime was truly a mindless killing machine.

ONE guest appearance and we already have a more interesting character dynamic than we've had in 11 issues of JLI. Much as I miss Ted, I'm beginning to hope for a new "Blue and Gold" series to come out of all this.

Personally, I believe they fragged it up when they blatantly revealed the identity of the Black Beetle(you know, only the greatest super-villain you've never heard of).

And judging by all the recent releases from DC, I'd rather not have Nu52 "Blue and Gold". Although knowing DC, we're probably bound to witness the birth of brooding, seerious Batman wanna-be Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle...And then DC will cancel the series after several unsuccessful runs and we'll be left out again.

Personally, I'll take Booster Gold in whatever series DC wants to give him to me in. I think I've demonstrated that if Booster's in it, I'm buying it.

Well true there about Booster Gold... but not Ted Kord. Ruining such a great character or a duo is just too darn much.

Good to hear that the TV show is still in development, and that it will focus on both Booster's original storyline and the Rip Hunter connection. We can't wait to see it!

deusex2 posted on Jul. 17, 2012 at 12:28 PM
Yeah, the bad news, though, is that it's going to take a really long while for the pilot to roll out and we still have to suffer through "The Arrow" TV and comics(!) series.

3. Batwing's mask is so ridiculous that Rob Liefeld think it's over the top.
4. Batwing needs to stop cutting his own hair.

Ahem... notice the title of the issue? Oh wait, I didn't mean to be insensitive. I'm sure Booster will get a chance to headline an issue title in his own book someday. :)

I'm not noticing another fact (new change!):
5. Booster Gold coming from the future isn't public knowledge anymore, or at least not everyone knows it/is sure it is true.

Batwing may be a jerk, but nowhere near as Batman really is, new Justice League, anyone?

I found the first the first issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE so offensive, I haven't read any since. I won't give it another look until Johns and Lee are off the book.

In some of the recent issues Batman suppossedely called the JLI a bad joke that needs to be stopped.

Siskoid of the Blog of Geekery posted the panel from JUSTICE LEAGUE 7 that has Batman telling Steve Trevor to "shut down that joke calling itself the Justice League International." (Find the image at Siskoid's post: http://siskoid.blogspot.com/2012/04/geoff-johns-doesnt-want-you-to-read.html

The issue was written by Geoff Johns, who as DC Chief Creative Officer really should have a better idea of how Jurgens is writing Batman in JLI.

deusex2 posted on May. 2, 2012 at 3:09 PM
Well, the whole point of early JL in DCnU is that they are posing as Superfriends for the whole world, but in practice, they can't stand each other's guts... And others too, for that matter.

I know how you feel about current JL, so do I, but a friend of mine is giving it a very active benefit of a doubt, despite all of my warnings.

He even forced me to read JL part where Phantom Stranger confronts a familiar figure. That bit infected me with the optimism as well...Right until next issue.

I don't know why anyone at DC Comics would think I would want to read a Superfriends comic where the "heroes" hate one another. I find the concept disgusting. (I can't say that I am pleased that there are adults who would pay good money for stories about animosity-riddled Supermen. Proof, as if any was needed, that there is no accounting for bad taste.)
