A Hex on All DC Movies
Understatement warning: Jonah Hex is not doing well at the box office. Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? No.
So the question becomes how will this affect DC movie properties going forward? Remember that DC recently pulled the plug on their animated features line after poor performances. How many more straws can the camel hold after Hex? Could this render the live action Blue Beetle stillborn? Does this dash any chance for a Booster Gold movie in our lifetimes? At least The Movie Blog says there is still hope. Our fingers are crossed.
On an unrelated note, please be aware that database revisions are underway here at Boosterrific.com that may result in some occasionally bizarre or downright broken pages in the immediate future. Don't Panic.

The Internet Loves Lists!
When a blogger has nothing else to do, he makes a list post. I don't know why, but I'm not going to fight nature on this. Instead, I'll make a list of lists that include Booster Gold.
- iFanboy.com presents a list of the 5 worst Giffen-era JLI fashion moments. All things being equal, Booster's 80s fashion was considerably better than his 90s fashion, which included bolo ties and cutoff sweatshirts. Ugh.
- egotvonline.com provides a list of 10 obscure DC movie-ready properties that should have been adapted prior to Jonah Hex. I love Elongated Man as much as any other Gingold drinker, but I'm not sure that America is quite ready for his wiggling nose.
- mytopdozen.com proposes the 12 best dc comics characters who can fly. Seriously. I include this list because its very existence makes me giggle. Thank you internet.

No New Comics? Turn on the TV.
It seems like the first time in weeks that something Booster Gold related hasn't been released on New Comic Book Day. Of course, the new Batman Beyond series debuts today, but it is unlikely to contain any Booster Gold references. So what's a fan to do with no new comic books? Since Batman Beyond began as a television show, it seems natural to turn to television, of course.
Surely by now everyone has heard that Geoff Johns has a live action Blue Beetle in the works. Hearing reports that Geoff Johns tweeted the news would sound like an April Fool's joke if this weren't June. But here it is. If Jonah Hex can get a movie and Blue Beetle can get a pilot, could we be one step closer to a live action Booster Gold? Finally there's a good reason to buy an HDTV.
UPDATE: Screen caps of the Blue Beetle pilot are up at DC's The Source blog. The DC blog also has a bit of info on the new, black Aqualad created specifically for the planned Young Justice cartoon. TV is the place to be for DC! (I apologize for the previous sentence. I don't know what I was thinking.)
