Sometimes I need a reminder that the world is full of creative people doing good things, and that's what Ithildyn gave us this weekend. Specifically, we got a link to this video:

Apparently, that's a DC Comics skin mod featuring Booster Gold and Blue Beetle created by CosmicBeetle for a rhythm game called "Friday Night Funkin'" by ninjamuffin99.

I've never been any good at rhythm games (I have two left thumbs), so I'm content to watch the video. If you're the sort who's into playing such things, there are resource links in the video description.

Thanks, Ithildyn.

UPDATE 2021-04-15: Mod creator CosmicBeetle dropped by the comments with a link to the official trailer (also viewable on YouTube), so I've removed the gameplay video I'd originally embedded above. Sorry about that, CB. You've done good work.

I interrupt your regularly scheduled blog of Booster Gold posts to present the following link to the Kickstarter for Legends of Draxia, a mobile device video game I have been coding.

Thank you for your consideration. Regular posting will resume tomorrow.

DC's self-contained convention was this past weekend, and while it was a smorgasbord for fans of super hero movies, television, and video games, there really wasn't much news about DC's plans for comic books. And since Booster Gold doesn't exist in any current movies, television, or video games, our hero was nowhere to be found.

The closest we got to Booster was this Easter Egg spotted by the eagle-eyed Ouoya (@Ouoya on Twitter.com) in the Suicide Squad Versus The Justice League video game trailer:

Suicide Squad Versus The Justice League is set in the same continuity as Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham series of games. Blaze Comics appeared in Gotham City in Batman: Arkham Origins (2013) and Batman: Arkham Knight (2015).

It's good to know that Blaze is still doing well enough to have a storefront in Metropolis, but you're going to have to wait a while to see it for yourself. Suicide Squad Versus The Justice League isn't scheduled to be released before August 2022.

So maybe that's not the Booster Gold bonanza Booster boosters might have been hoping for, but it's not nothing. And since FanDome was split into two weeks with most of the comics-related content pushed to September 12, we may still hear more about Booster yet.

Thanks for bringing that screenshot to our attention, Ouoya.

Over the weekend, Steven Palchinski gave me even more pictures of Booster Gold from the DC Legends game, this time in Booster's "Legendary" armor!

Golly, it's weird to think that Booster's Extreme Justice look is more "legendary" than his default. I guess it's true what they say, if you wait long enough, *everything* comes back into fashion.

DC Legends is a freemium game with in-app purchases available on Android and Apple devices. Enjoy responsibly!

(Ok, you did it, Steven. These screenshots finally inspired me to get the game for myself. Legendary Booster Gold, here I come.)

It was announced back in July that Booster Gold would be joining the cast of the DC Legends mobile game.

Thanks to Steven Palchinski, we finally have pictures to prove he's in the game.

I would never have guessed that the game would recreate Booster's long-forgotten Mass Dispersion Field. Now that's Boosterrific!

Thanks for those screenshots, Steven. (Sorry it only took me two months to share them!)
