For the first time since September 2010, Boosterrific.com failed to achieve more than 100 visits any day last week.

September is typically a down month for visitors to the site anyway, but last month was especially bad. Is that because school is starting? Is football getting in the way? Was everyone busy watching the premier of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D or the finale of Breaking Bad?

I don't know what anyone else has been up to, but my own schedule is becoming increasingly hectic. That comes at the same time as Booster Gold news has flatlined. Combine my schedule, the lack of news, and a decline in interest, and the signs seem to indicate that I should cut down from 5 to maybe 3 posts per week.

To be clear: this isn't an announcement. I haven't made any decision about this yet. I'm just warning the few readers who still come by regularly that changes may be coming.

Two weeks ago I warned you to expect Booster Gold in Scribblenauts Unmasked. The game's release earlier this week was accompanied by this video on youtube. Pay close attention at around the 45 second mark and tell em what you see.

That's right, it is the Justice League International! It's about time everybody's favorite Justice League made it into a video game together.

Scribblenauts Unmasked is available now for the 3Ds and Wii U.

Obviously, it will take a lot to keep us fans from our Booster Gold, but don't try to sell us another character dressed as "Booster Gold" and expect us to take it! There is only one true Booster Gold!

Enough negativity! Let's get back to basics: discussing what we like about Booster Gold!

Today marks 11 weeks since Booster Gold was last seen in Smallville Season 11 #15. It's been 13 weeks since Booster Gold was last seen in DCnU continuity in All-Star Western #21.

Thirteen weeks is longer than most drug rehabilitation programs. Is DC trying to "cure" fans of Booster Gold? Personally, I'm pretty sure I'm still in withdrawal.

If you are the sort who pays attention to such things, you already know that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. debuts tonight on ABC. So far as the glut of advertising would have you believe, it is only the latest, greatest thing to happen to television, like, ever.

What does this have to do with Booster Gold? Simple: it's a television show and Booster Gold is not.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. entered development in July 2012 when Disney decided to take their successful Marvel movie franchises to the small screen. ABC ordered a pilot of the show in August 2012. The show was officially selected for broadcast in May 2013 and will be on your TV tonight.

Compare that to Booster Gold, announced in November 2011 following Booster's triumphant television debut in Smallville earlier that year. A script was delivered sometime around December 2012. Two years have passed, and in that time there has been no pilot, no noticeable progress, no news at all. Hollywood studios don't cancel developments; they just ignore something until it goes away.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is not an A-list property, yet it gets a high profile television show while Booster Gold doesn't. This isn't a knock against Booster, and it isn't necessarily a knock against DC. Disney owns Marvel and ABC, so it only makes sense that they spend the money to develop their own properties for their own distribution channels. In the meantime, Arrow has been a success for DC owner TimeWarner, but on a scale much more subdued than what Disney is attempting.

Recent years have been full of failed DC Comics television productions, including such high-profile characters Aquaman and Wonder Woman. Does TimeWarner not care about turning the DC stable of characters into live-action television shows? Who knows. The only thing we know for sure is that they certainly don't care about producing Booster Gold.
