Announcing Blue and Gold: The Movie

Are you sitting down?

The Tracking Board has exclusively announced that Warner Brothers is working to make a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie a reality.

Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, two DC Comics superheros that have long been rumored to appear in either an upcoming film or TV show, are now being groomed for a team-up feature from Warner Bros. Sources exclusive to The Tracking Board can now confirm that Greg Berlanti, the force behind the successful DC comics TV series Arrow and The Flash, will be heavily involved with this one, set to direct and executive produce. Sarah Schechter will also executive produce, while Julia Spiro will oversee for the studio.

Adding to the news, Heroic Hollywood says that Zak Penn may be writing the screenplay.

The Tracking Board goes on to describe the project:

Based on the DC comics, a man travels from the future with stolen technology in order to become a famous superhero in the present, and teams up with a teenager who has been given superpowers from advanced alien technology called Scarab.

You may recall, Berlanti was the writer/producer behind the never-materialized Booster Gold television show announced by SyFy in 2011. Has Berlanti taken his project to Warner Brothers?

So far as I am aware, neither Warner Brothers nor Berlanti has confirmed these rumors. For what it's worth, I hope they're true.

Studying History

The ayes have it. The forum will stick around while we wait for DC to give us something to fill it with.

Last week's poll question: Does this site need to keep its forum? (44 votes)

Does this site need to keep its forum?

This question is a variant of a question I first asked over 5 years ago. (Can you believe Boosterrific.com has been running polls for five years? Time flies when you're voting in polls.)

Another International Justice League Disbanded

You might recall that DC teased us after Convergence with news that Justice League United was being revamped to include future guest appearances by assorted DC heroes, including Booster Gold.

Never mind.

DC has announced it is cancelling Justice League United effective with issue #16 shipping in December. If Booster doesn't make an appearance in the series by then, he's going to need to start his own team.

For more information on this and the other four titles that DC is canceling, visit ComicBookResources.com

Kevin Shinick Says Don't Bother Watching

Russ Burlingame recently interviewed Robot Chicken writer Kevin Shinick. Burlingame asked whether Booster Gold would make an appearance in the upcoming Robot Chicken DC Comics Special 3: Magical Friendship.

Burlingame: Any more Booster Gold? You know I have to ask.

Shinick: You know, sadly, I don't think he's in this one. I voiced him [before] and so when I cut him down, I'm like "Come on!"

See the headline at the top of this post? That's how I interpreted Shinick's admission. It's that knee-jerk response to bad news from people like me that keeps Dan DiDio from telling us the truth about what DC is and is not planning. That means that I'm part of the problem.

If I want to make the world a better place, I guess I'll just have to watch Robot Chicken's DC special despite it containing 0% Gold.

You can read the full interview, in which Shinick discusses some of the other things he's involved with that have nothing to do with Booster Gold, such as a Scooby-Doo/KISS crossover, at ComicBook.com.
