Comic fans love a good Easter egg. There has been a lot of speculation why Rip Hunter's real name was revealed to be "Michael" on DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Is that a Booster Gold reference? Inquiring minds want to know!

Fast forward to the 2:48 mark in the video below to hear Andy Behbackht of TVOVermind.com put that question to Darvill himself at Comic Con.

Darvill's reaction to the question reminds me of William Shatner's response to the question "What was the combination?" on a rather in famous Saturday Night Live skit. That's what Comic Con is all about. Gotta love it.

The Silver and Gold Podcast has a new home: sngpodcast.wordpress.com. It's there you will find the latest episode discussing Booster Gold Volume 1, #8.

It's important that you don't confuse this new location with sngpodcast.tumblr.com, home of the Sawdust and Gin Podcast, or twitter.com/sngpodcast, which is devoted to the Silver and Gold podcast for discussing NFL football franchises of Oakland and San Francisco. Those would be the sorts of embarrassing mistakes that only a novice time traveler would make.

At Comic Con, Nerd Repository's Kyle Wilson interviewed Diedrich Bader about his upcoming take on Booster Gold for Justice League Action.

It's nice to hear Bader praising Tom Everett Scott for having fun with our favorite hero on Batman: Brave and the Bold. For many, Scott remains the ideal Booster Gold after his excellent performance in Justice League Unlimited's "The Greatest Story Never Told." Let's see if Bader can change some minds.

You'll find more information about Justice League Action at NerdRepository.com. (Thanks to Morgenstern for reminding me about this post.)

Have I ever run a poll with such even distribution of responses?

Last week's poll question: Why do you think we haven't seen Booster Gold in a comic in the past year? (51 votes)

With no announced upcoming Booster Gold appearances in the pipeline, I guess there's plenty of blame to go around.

I decided to reach out and ask Booster's creator, Dan Jurgens, what his opinion was on the reason for Booster's prolonged absence from the DCnU.

At this point, it probably has more to do with the fact that DC has recently retooled its line and is really focusing on the core JL members and books.

That having been said, I'd like to do something with him soon!

Thanks, Dan! Hope springs eternal!

Bobdogrjr said in last week's comments he thought we'd see Booster in Action Comics 1000. Maybe he's on to something.

SF Debris started the week with a pointed but loving critique of the greatest episode ever animated of Justice League Unlimited. (Can you believe it's been almost 12 years since it first aired?)

Despite including the interesting footnote that the episode was originally intended as a Firestorm story, SF Debris somehow failed to credit the episode's writer, Andrew Kreisberg, or director, Dan Riba. Oversight corrected.

You can see the whole video yourself by visiting sfdebris.com. Thanks to Morgenstern for the link.
