Spotted on Twitter: everything you ever wanted to know about Booster Gold but were afraid to ask.

Thanks to Booster booster CDN for asking the question, and thanks to Jurgens for revealing that so far as he is concerned, our hero is a carnivore and, presumably, no fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

It sure looks like Booster boosters aren't too bothered by last week's news that the in-development Booster Gold movie won't be part of the larger DC cinematic universe.

Last week's poll question: How do you feel about the Booster Gold movie not taking place in the Warner Bros DC Extended Universe? (76 votes)

I agree that it's more important that Booster Gold not be the next Green Lantern than whether the film will see a cameo appearance from Cyborg. Every movie should be the best story its creators can tell, not an excuse to sell action figures and Happy Meals.

Today is Wednesday, and just like every other Wednesday for the past 58 weeks, there will be no new Booster Gold comic books at your Local Comic Shop.

Over the weekend, Russell Burlingame explored the questions of why this has happened and how it can be fixed in an article for ComicBook.com.

Burlingame isn't alone in wondering whatever happened to Booster Gold. Last week, Kieran Shiach of ComicsAlliance listed Booster Gold as the number one DC property in need of a new comic. I agree!

Here's hoping we'll see our hero again before DC Comics has it's next reboot. (Although, at the rate they're going, even that will be sooner rather than later.) Booster Gold is too good a hero to leave on the sidelines for long.

Two and a half years ago, we lamented that we couldn't have our own Booster Gold hoodie. Coyote Pop Clothing has finally heard our cries.

The "Gold Hoodie!" is one of five DC Comics-inspired hoodies currently being offered by Coyote Pop. The description from their website reads

The hoodies are made from 100% polyester on the outside while the inside is lined with cotton. The print/design you see on the hoodie is printed on using a method called Hot Split Printing, which means the print will not fade or crack like normal printed clothing but feel like its integrated with the hoodie and very smooth to the touch.

You can order your own sweatshirt for $69 (plus shipping) at CoyotePopClothing.com. They are only taking orders until September 16, so if you want one, don't dawdle.

Thanks to Matthew Mueller of ComicBook.com for pointing this out.

On Wednesday, Abraham Riesman reported the following for Vulture.com:

"As of right now we have no connective tissue to those worlds," [Greg] Berlanti said when asked if the movie would be part of the DC Extended Universe that already includes Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad .... "It'd be a separate thing."

Berlanti also indicated that the movie is an extension of the Booster Gold TV show abandoned by the SyFy network in 2012. He gives credit to Geoff Johns for rolling that canceled project into a theatrical movie. Johns recently told the Wall Street Journal that he is trying to make the cinematic DC Universe less "gritty and dark." (I think I owe Geoff Johns a drink.)

Back to the original topic: the Booster Gold movie is currently planned to be a stand-alone story with no connection to the larger Warner Brothers cinematic DC Universe. Whether you think that is good news or bad news probably depends on whether you're one of the people who helped Batman v Superman make $872 million.

Let's find out where Booster boosters stand.
