If I put on Booster's costume, I fear I'd look less like Booster and more like an overstuffed golden sausage. No one wants that.

Last week's poll question: Have you ever worn a Booster Gold costume for Halloween? (36 votes)

So, since none of us are currently following the adventures of Booster Gold, whose adventures are we following?

No, Booster Gold does not appear in Batman: Arkham Origins. What does appear in Batman: Arkham Origins, according to ComicBookCast on YouTube.com, is a reference to Blaze Comics, the fictional publishing house of Booster's DCU comic book.

Batman: Arkham Origins was released two weeks ago. If you haven't picked it up yet, maybe this will be the incentive you need to do so.

The older you get, the faster time seems to move.

It's been over 2 years and 2 months since the New 52 launched! And it's been 5 years to the day since DC collected Booster Gold Volume 2 #7 through #8 and #0 into the Booster Gold: Blue and Gold collected trade.

That means it has been more than five years since Booster brought Ted back through time travel. Now that I look back, I realize that it's been eight years since Countdown to Infinite Crisis #1! You think I'd be used to it by now, but no!

Man, I'm getting old.

Imagine: a website that promotes a market-driven comic book character selling out to promote a third property, taking cash in exchange for becoming mouthpiece to Madison Avenue copywriters. Booster Gold would jump at the chance!

While I'm thinking over this offer, you can find me enjoying the The Casino at the Empire in London. They really do have the loosest slots!

Whenever Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite get together, things have a tendency to get out of hand. For instance, take their meeting in Superman and Batman: World's Funnest, released 13 years ago today.

When Mxy accidentally kills Batman, Bat-Mite retaliates by killing Superman. Things only go downhill from there. Soon they've destroyed the Phantom Zone, Earth-2, Earth-C-Minus, the World Trade Center (seriously), Jack Kirby's Fourth World, and Rip Hunter's Time Sphere and the Blue Beetle's Bug (both on the same page!). Even Booster Gold can't avoid the destruction.

That tiny panel behind Mxy's hat above is Booster's (and Skeet's) only appearance in this issue, but don't let that deter you from enjoying this parody of traditional DC Comics stories throughout the ages, assuming you can find it in the back-issue bin of your Local Comic Shop.
