Coming in second on our year-end hit parade was the Boosterrific.com post on May 13 confirming that the long rumored Booster Gold movie finally had a writer.

Said Greg Berlanti (to the Hollywood Reporter):

I'm attached to a few films [at Warner Bros.] now, and one, Booster Gold, is a DC property. Zack Stentz, who wrote an episode of Flash last year, just got the job, so he's writing the script now. I'd probably direct that, or I would want to.

We haven't heard much since, but that's how the movie business works. We'll keep watching and waiting.

The countdown wraps up on Friday with the most visited post of the year.

Each December I look back at the year that was and find the Boosterrific.com posts that garnered the most attention.

Number three on this year's countdown of most popular posts was this fine piece of (unlicensed) apparel I showed you in September:

As you can see, it's a good looking design. But the best part is hiding inside.

Say hello to my little friend:

It's Skeets! Without a doubt, this hoodie is the very definition of Boosterrific!

We'll continue the countdown on Wednesday.

I've been trying to get to posting this for about two weeks, but I didn't figure there was any hurry. Everyone already knows who the biggest bromance in comics is, right? Joe Mortimer sure does.

Although the bromances on this list aren't really in any kind of order, Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) and Booster Gold (Michael Jon Carter) definitely rank No. 1. This is like the original superhero bromance. Meeting as members of the Justice League International, the pair of C-List superheroes become instant best friends. Their misadventures include becoming superhero repo men, opening a casino/resort called Club JLI on the living island of Kooey Kooey Kooey, and stealing Martian Manhunter's cookies.

You can read the whole list of Mortimer's best comic book bromances at TheFreshToast.com.

Over dinner last week, an old friend boldly called Boosterrific.com incomplete. He claimed he had found a book with a Booster Gold appearance that wasn't listed on the site. That book was Starman #1. ("Not the James Robinson one. The other one.")

He was right. Check it out:

Starman Volume 1, #1, words by Roger Stern, pictures by Tom Lyle, Bob Smith, Julianna Ferriter

Somehow, I had missed Booster Gold on the cover of Time magazine! Oversight corrected.

Thank you, Michael Foster, for making Boosterrific.com more complete than ever!
