The Future Is Not Enough
Earlier this week, DC released solicitations for books shipping in May. One of those books is a mini-series in which a hero will travel backwards through time in order to prevent an impending apocalypse. That series is Armageddon 2001 The Kingdom Infinite Crisis Futures End. Naturally, this time-traveling hero will be Booster Gold Batman. Because you can never have enough Batman.
With that premise, with Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens writing, and with Jurgens occasionally drawing, it seems impossible that Booster Gold won't at least appear somewhere in this series. Where that somewhere will be is anyone's guess. (The "entire DC Universe" is in issue #2. Booster wouldn't miss that, would he?)
We'll keep our eyes open for signs of our hero this May.

What to Do with Booster Gold?
Given Booster's reputation with the ladies, Booster Gold must have made up half the audience at that first performance of Romeo and Juliet.
Last week's poll question: How does Booster Gold impress a date on Valentine's Day? (38 votes)
DC is obviously having a hard time figuring out what to do with Booster Gold. Do you have any ideas that could help them out?

Booster Gold Equals Iron Man
Over at whatculture.com, James Garcia has written "DC Movie Universe: 4 Ways Booster Gold Could Be DC's Iron Man." Garcia writes:
Whether or not you agree that Iron Man was obscure, Garcia goes on to make some pretty spot-on comparisons between Booster and Iron Man. Read his 4 specific comparisons at WhatCulture.com.[Booster Gold] has a lot in common with Marvel Studios' flagship superhero (on the big screen, anyway), which is something DC can definitely use to their advantage. If you remember, Iron Man was far from being a popular character before 2008. He was a second-tier character at best before being plucked from relative obscurity and thrust into mega stardom on the big screen. If DC plays their cards right, Booster Gold could follow suit.

JL8 Dresses to the Nines
In the 1980s, my entire wardrobe consisted of Ocean Pacific apparel. I wish I looked half as sharp as Li'l Booster does in the latest installment of the JL8 webcomic by Yale Stewart.
Of course, the image above is just one panel of the entire strip, but who cares about any character other than Booster Gold? (If you care about some character other than Booster Gold, you can find the whole strip at jl8comic.tumblr.com.)
Thanks to Freytaw for calling this to our attention.

Happy President's Day
When you're out buying a car or mattress today, remember what this holiday is really all about: Booster Gold.
In 1985, Ronald Reagan gave Booster Gold his codename. I think that is something we can all celebrate.
