hey if Blue and Gold are going to be in Smallville, maybe that is foreshadowing of a Justice League spin-off for when Smallville ends? I certainly hope so.

I think I remember hearing something about a blue beetle (Jaime Reyes) show in the works or at least a pilot. A booster gold show or animated series would be totally awesome but probably be too hard to do, I think they'd have to do a season or two of back story before jumping into his path to becoming a time master. It's unlikely but I can dream can't I?

@tiggerpete: the internet is abuzz with potential replacements for Smallville. The CW is open minded, and DC really wants to expand their media properties. We'll see what we see.

@nclln: at ComicCon, DC released Blue Beetle test images. The video was a proof of concept. More details were included in a previous blog post: http://www.boosterrific.com/news.php?id=117&No-New-Comics?-Turn-on-the-TV..

Booster Gold, minion and possible sidekick of the Blue Beetle. Not bad for someone who used to be a third-stringer. The placement sure would hurt his ego, though.

There was an interview with Geoff Johns on Newsarama, I think. (Or one of the comic news sites.) Anyway, it seemed to be Jaime that was going to be showing up on Smallville, but he teased that Ted Kord *might* show up.
I'm really bummed about the poassibility of the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle show being picked up, because now a whole generation of fans will only know him as the Blue Beetle, and not Ted.

I guess they meant "(..)Darkseid and his minions AND Hawkgirl, Deadshot, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle too"
I hope they do them some justice..but by Smallville standards..it can be either good (Zatanna, Hawkman) or very bad (J'onn, Cyborg)

Good grief, that art is horrible. I am glad I wasn't purchasing comics in the 90's. How on earth could DC publish something like that with and honestly expect it to sell?

Superman posted on Sep. 8, 2010 at 11:53 AM
I believe that style (extremely long legs, pin heads atop gargantuan shoulders, distorted anatomy, etc.) was de rigeur in comics at the time, and apparently it helped sales then.

That's true, Superman. Extreme Justice fell on the tail end of the trend (DC is not traditionally quick to embrace art trends). I don't know how much it helped sales, as the title was canceled after a year and a half to launch Morrison's Big Seven JLA. Though, to be fair, I think just about anything would be canceled to launch a Morrison title, especially JLA.

I've read all of Extreme Justice, and although the art is terrible, it did get better, this is actually a panel from later on that didn't make your eyes bleed (btw, I love Morrison's JLA, its one of the first things I collected when I got back into comics)

I blame Liefeld. I actually got his Hawk & Dove when it first came out... and at the time I thought it was pretty cool. Ahh, youth. BTW, the 4th letter's review of the Extreme Justice run is hilarious. I laughed out loud several times. It is truly scant praise to say a series ceased to "make my eyes bleed" as it progressed.

Yes, Liefeld... exactly what I was gonna remark.

@Harry: I came across a mid-90s Wonder Woman comic book the other day. It has a similar sort of style, with Diana having legs that looked four feet long, and though the massacre of anatomy got to me, I sort of found the style beautiful in its own twisted way. (Pun intended.)

Egad. Extreme Justice League was of course ridiculous, but still...a shirtless and pantless Booster is always nice.
