It's an Injustice They Were Excluded

Injustice: Gods Among Us is a fighting game released in 2013. It features many DC Universe characters from across the Multiverse and pits them against one another in Mortal Kombat style battles. The biggest flaw with that game is that it didn't include everyone's favorite characters.

Gavin Jasper of DenofGeek.us gives a list of the top ten characters he hopes to find in the inevitable sequel. Guess who tops the list?

To put it plainly, Booster Gold needs to be in Injustice 2 because he would be the Johnny Cage of the game. In fact, to this day, it bugs me that we never got Johnny Cage vs. Booster Gold in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. He's a charismatic character with enough unique aspects to his fighting style (time travel, force fields, and football robot buddy) who could mean all kinds of things for a story like this.

I'm with Gavin. Add a little Booster Gold, and you've got yourself a sale!

Find the whole list of who Gavin would ad at DenofGeek.us.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

In 1962, the Chairman of the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade was inspired to dye the Chicago River green after watching plumbers who used color-changing dye to detect leaks flowing into the river. At least, that's the official story.

Booster Gold vs Rainbow Raider over the Chicago River

Who's to say that the real story doesn't have anything to do with a time-displaced super villain obsessed with color? Certainly not the Greatest Hero You've Never Heard Of.

Nothing Says Etsy Like a Booster Gold Poster

It's not often I have the opportunity to showcase Booster Gold fan art that you can buy, but artist Jonathan Reyes is selling this minimalist poster via Etsy.com:

If you buy from JRLuna's Etsy.com store before the end of March and use the coupon code "MARCH2K15", you can save 20%. That's a pretty good deal on such a sweet piece of art.

30 Years of Costumes

The back pages of 2008's Booster Gold: 52 Pick-Up hardback treated readers to Dan Jurgens' early sketches for Booster Gold's costume.

As odd as some of these are, none of these designs stray too far from the Booster Gold costume we've come to know and love. And there must be something right about Booster's costume because it has stood the test of time.

I asked Booster's creator Dan Jurgens how much credit he thought Booster's costume deserved in keeping the character at the forefront of the DC Universe for 30 years.

A lot. I really do believe it's a great look -- very tailored to the character, much in the same way Green Lantern's always seemed perfect for him.

That's our Booster Gold. Anything worth doing is worth doing in style.

The True Story of Booster Gold

As always, thanks to Dan Jurgens.

We Hold These Tributes to Be Self-Evident

I'm willing to forgive one slip-up, Justice League 3000, but now I'm expecting even more Blue and Gold in every issue to make up for the omission!

Last week's poll question: What is your response to Booster and Beetle being solicited for Justice League 3000 15 but not appearing in it? (41 votes)

What is your response to Booster and Beetle being solicited for <em>Justice League 3000</em> 15 but not appearing in it?

I've been thinking about my own biases in what I present here at Boosterrific. I really enjoy showing pictures of Booster Gold fan art and cosplayers, but I almost never mention Booster Gold fan fiction.

Part of that exclusion is because I don't personally read fan fiction and am reluctant to promote anything I haven't vetted fist. But maybe I'm doing a disservice to my visitors. So what do you say about it?
