Friday Link Dump

I've seen references to Booster pop up on quite a few sites this week. Rather than spotlight any one of them and leave the others out, I'll just share what I've found and let you visit whatever you think sounds good.

Nick Kazdan has a gallery of their picks to play Booster Gold on the big screen. (HeroicHollywood.com)

Shaun Manning speculates on whether Booster Gold is now "One of DC's Most Important Heroes." (CBR.com)

Tim Adams speculates on Booster's role (and Hal Jordan's death) in upcoming issues of Batman. (CBR.com)
Edward Wallace counts Booster's force field among the "Most Powerful Weapons in the DC Comic Book Universe."(FortressofSolitude.co.za)

Russ Burlingame is careful to include a Booster Gold appearance in his list of essential Dan Jurgens' Superman reading as Action Comics approaches issue #1000. (Comicbook.com).

Booster Gold returns in the latest chapter of Injustice 2 (Chapter 40) now available digitally for 99Â¢. (Comixology.com)

Now you've got something to read between your green beers tomorrow, Booster boosters! Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day weekend.

Announcing Blue and Gold: The Movie

Are you sitting down?

The Tracking Board has exclusively announced that Warner Brothers is working to make a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie a reality.

Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, two DC Comics superheros that have long been rumored to appear in either an upcoming film or TV show, are now being groomed for a team-up feature from Warner Bros. Sources exclusive to The Tracking Board can now confirm that Greg Berlanti, the force behind the successful DC comics TV series Arrow and The Flash, will be heavily involved with this one, set to direct and executive produce. Sarah Schechter will also executive produce, while Julia Spiro will oversee for the studio.

Adding to the news, Heroic Hollywood says that Zak Penn may be writing the screenplay.

The Tracking Board goes on to describe the project:

Based on the DC comics, a man travels from the future with stolen technology in order to become a famous superhero in the present, and teams up with a teenager who has been given superpowers from advanced alien technology called Scarab.

You may recall, Berlanti was the writer/producer behind the never-materialized Booster Gold television show announced by SyFy in 2011. Has Berlanti taken his project to Warner Brothers?

So far as I am aware, neither Warner Brothers nor Berlanti has confirmed these rumors. For what it's worth, I hope they're true.

A big budget Booster Gold film may be too good to be true! #FingersCrossed!!!

I'm sad. A: it will never happen, B: it would be a 2 hour long gay joke, and C: DC has yet to get anything right cinematically since Batman Begins.

The last good DC movie was Michael Keaton's BATMAN in '89. (I hate Nolan's interpretation of Batman.) For my money, that BATMAN might be the only good DC movie. I'm not a huge fan of Superman spinning the world backwards to save his girlfriend.

I'm in favor of Booster in all media, but what's the point of mix n' match Blue and Gold? I can't imagine it will really make anyone happy.

Not a Jaime fan - I WANT TED!

The New52 has messed up a lot of characters. The Suicide Squad movie looks horrid.
I hope they get Booster right. WB/DC track record is really poor.

It has got to be Ted Kord for Blue Beetle or it will confirm the worst.

Boosterrific, you're my kind of guy. I can't stand the Nolan Batman movies. Burton's 1989 Batman was great. It had the feel of a comic book come to life.

As for a Booster Gold movie, I'll believe it opening night. Also, I'm not a fan of Jaime - it needs to be Ted Kord.

I don't like anything Nolan did after Begins, but that movie nails the character. Burton had Batman killing people with guns and bombs, big nono.

I don't remember BEGINS beyond knowing I hated it, so I'm willing to concede that maybe he murders no one in that movie. However I distinctly recall that Nolan certainly had no problem having Batman kill policemen with rockets. Maybe that was the sequel.

First,Dark Knight was a great film. Any other dc movie was just whack I agree W.B track record isn't putting in work in their films. I agree it has to be Ted over Jaime. Let it just be a Booster Gold film even better. I feel like its easier to write a film with Jaime then it is about Ted how about someone throws an idea of what a film should consist of if it had Ted.

I think this would honestly be rather successful if it's handled in a way appropriate to the characters.

Even if it's Jaime rather than Ted, set it after Teds death--give rich history to two characters who will otherwise be seen in a comedy. I think it should essentially be (with either beetle) a time traveling buddy cop movie. (My personal picks for Booster and Beetle being Joel McHale as Booster Gold and Charlie Day as the Ted Kord Blue Beetle)

With the success of a high concept film like 'Guardians of the Galaxy' if done well, even with a low budget, I could see this as a breakout hit.

ANTMAN is getting a sequel. I don't know what else to say. Oh yeah... WHERES MY BOOSTER GOLD?!?!
