It looks like even John Constantine is getting a television show before Booster Gold does.

As you have probably heard by now, The Flash television show will be on The CW this fall. A trailer for the show hit the web last week, and it got people talking. Even people who aren't familiar with Barry Allen. People like M.L. Brumage of LetUsNerd.com:

I'm sure comic book fans could spend hours telling me how great he is (I haven't read many Flash comics) and I can't say I'd disagree with them, because this trailer looks pretty good. And, if they bring Booster Gold into it (which there are zero rumors to back up this hope) I'm in for the long haul.

Someone who doesn't know the Flash but does know Booster Gold? There is hope for this rotten world yet. If Booster appears on The Flash, I'm in too.

You can see the whole trailer at LetUsNerd.com.

Other than David, who suggested "Booster Gold Fans," no one else who voted "something else" told me what that something else might be. Were the rest of you just saying that you didn't care for the options I gave, but you didn't have any better suggestions?

Last week's poll question: What name do you prefer for Booster Gold fans? (49 votes)

Dancing with the Stars just ended its 18th American season, and that got me thinking....

Each week, Futures End runs a preview tease for the next issue. Last week's tease sure made it look like Booster Gold would be in this week's Futures End. Turns out not so much.

That wasn't Booster Gold we saw last week but Grifter. The two look a lot alike when they're out of costume. I guess that's why Booster wears his goggles and never leaves home without his American Express card. You never want to be mistaken for a telepathic, alien-hunting terrorist.

So pick up Futures End #3 if you want to, but don't expect to see Booster Gold in there.

A Skeets desk lamp? I want this on my desk NOW:

Extra credit to Dave Delisle for thinking up such a fantastic idea for Skeets merchandise! You can find another pictures of the lamp — it collapses! — and many other great ideas on DavesGeekyIdeas.com.

Friday, DC released the art teams for September's Futures End month of one-shots. Booster Gold: Futures End #1 will be looking pretty good.

BOOSTER GOLD: FUTURES END #1
Writer: Dan Jurgens
Artist: Moritat, Steve Lightle, Stephen Thompson, Mark Irwin, Ron Frenz, Brett Booth, Will Conrad
Cover: Dan Jurgens, Norm Rapmund

That's right, Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund are back together on the lenticular cover. DC has already started rolling out previews of the covers for the first two weeks of the event, so we should be seeing the week 4 Booster Gold cover sooner rather than later. September can't get here soon enough!

You can find a full list of creative teams for the Futures End one-shots at dccomics.com.
