Booster Gold, Dancing Fool
Over the weekend, Miri B wrote in and reminded me that Booster Gold made a different splash in mass media. Check out this panel from Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #11, released in June.
Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman "Chapter 33" by Josh Elder, Juan Castro, Jamal Igle
As you can see, Booster appeared on Dancing with the Heroes! No news on who his competitors were. If that show is anything like Dancing with the Stars, "hero" is probably defined pretty loosely. Some other dancers might be Anima, Elasti-Girl, Heckler, Looker, Major Bummer, 'Mazing Man, and Snapper Carr.
Yeah, I'd still watch that.
Thanks to Miri for the info and the scan.

Demand More Gold in Your Entertainment
Late last week, tracking-board.com unleashed the rumor that a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie in the works, and DC fans everywhere exploded with pent-up joy.
The weekend brought us no confirmation of this rumor. Warner Brothers, DC, and producer/director Greg Berlanti have all been publicly silent on the subject. That doesn't seem to have dampened fan enthusiasm.
Social media sites have been blanketed by a positive reaction to the news that DC might finally be making a superhero movie that isn't all grim 'n' gritty. So if the rumor wasn't true to begin with, maybe it is now.
Remember that studios make movies to sell them to audiences. If a lighthearted, super hero buddy comedy is what we say we want, they will give it to us.
So keep up the buzz, Booster boosters! Let's get Booster Gold the movie he deserves.

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)
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
