I think part of the issue is that Arrow's script was already written and sold to the studio, whereas they basically picked Booster's name out of a hat and had to hire someone to write it. I could be wrong.

This had me worried a while back and tried to find more info about the...well..lack of infos. What I found was a comparison to the Syfy show Alphas, where between ordering the first script, announcing cast infos and actually airing the pilot a year passed each.

For Booster this would mean (using the same time-scale) that we would get the first infos about casting & crew in fall and the pilot would air the next. Now I am not claiming that this means that the pilot is safe, but rather that there is still some chances for it. (Further CW is in dire need of new Pilots quickly. Syfy not so much)

Also..uh..has anyone tried to simply ask Kreisberg or Berlanti Productions if they have any updates on Booster Gold?

Sorry. I wasn't trying to say that the show was never going to happen. I was just trying to suggest that it is unlikely to happen this year. I still hope.

GAH! I can't believe they picked Green Arrow over Booster Gold! CURSE YOU SMALLVILLE! And curse Smallville fanboys!

*breathes in and out*I'm calm-ish.

I guess it's tolerable, so long as there's still a chance. I mean hey-I've waited several years for BG to appear on Smallville! Waiting another year shouldn't be much of a challenge.

But still, darn...Who in his right mind would pick a dude in a green costume with a bow over Booster Gold?! I mean even Booster's comics were always more entertaining than GA.

All I have to say is that at no time in Booster Gold's history has he ever been blown up and replaced by his illegitimate son, and that alone makes him 100% more marketable. Plus Booster has the superior supporting cast with Rip and Michelle, not to mention the greatest partner any hero or TV show could ever want in Skeets. Really the possibilities are endless and it just goes to show that Hollywood doesn't know a great idea when it time travels their into their lap. Maybe we should all get together and produce our own pilot to sell.

I actually hope that we don't see Booster by this fall (don't everyone shoot me just yet), considering how little (none) information we've had since the order for a script. Which I take to mean no significant action has occurred on the project yet. So if a Booster pilot does make it to the screen by this Fall it will probably be a hastily assembled low quality project, not good for anyone. My plan is to wait patiently for further updates through the Summer and hope for some good news by Thanksgiving.
I think the news that "Arrow" is far enough along for a Fall release is actually good news for Booster, it just means that Kreisberg is probably freer to work on a "Booster" script.

reminds me of Extreme Justice

I never like Liefeld's art. But he certainly was the hot thing in the late 80's early 90's. The Hawk and Dove series was marginal, but it sold. I guess the contrast of his art with the standard of the day made the difference.

In a way, we do have Liefeld among others to thank for the eventual DC Brazilian explosion that led to teh eye-bleedingly bad Extreme Justice. (Ugh.) But at least not as directly as I indicated above. The truth of this story is that Liefeld was dismissed (to put it politely) by DC editor Mike Carlin due to some artistic differences and tardiness and was never considered as an artist for Booster Gold. (Full story can be found at the superb Comic Legends Revealed.) April Fool's, people.

This is an obvious FAKE!!! Not my drawing in any way.

I'll second that. To the best of my knowledge, Rob, you have never, ever drawn any picture of Booster Gold.

There has been Rob commissions/sketches done of Booster Gold within last decade.

I stand corrected.

I've just got the joke and saw the "April's Fool" and noticed it in the date.

I am also a big Green Arrow fan, so I have been following this, and if Booster can go to other Earths, maybe he should go to Earth Prime and stop Cry for Justice from happening (why is Roy going by Arsenal again, isn't he supposed to be Red Arrow?)

Seems like they are having trouble finding a consistent fan base for the GA family, thus all the changes. Wonder if the Flash family will fare better.

I know that there is always some flux in what is selling, but DC seems especially directionless right now. Every successful major event that has happened in the past few years seems to be Green Lantern-centric, and everything else appears to be suffering for it. Granted, it must be hard to maintain an audience when you've removed your best known and best selling characters from their books and watered down your flagship team book with insignificant characters and stories in favor of an unending revolving door of event-based mini-series loosely tied into other mini-series. But I don't mean to much criticize. If DC can find the space to put out a Booster Gold book on a monthly basis, I'm still on board.
