As Mel Brooks once said, "hope for the best, expect the worst."

Last week's poll question: Do you think we will see Booster Gold reappear in the DCnU before 2014? (47 votes)

With the American football season less than a month away, those who enjoy to gamble on the sport are already sharpening their skills with around the clock media coverage. Do you think that includes Booster Gold?

All Booster Gold fans should take the time to wish Paul Dini a happy 55th birthday today.

Without Dini, there wouldn't have been a Justice League Unlimited, and without Justice League Unlimited, we never would have gotten Booster Gold's shining moment in "The Greatest Story Never Told."

So thank you, Mr. Dini. May you have many more.

DeAtHmkw has recently uploaded to YouTube all of the audio from Booster Gold's exploration missions in DC Universe Online. If you haven't played DC Universe Online but you are interested in listening to Booster Gold play the role of humorous tour guide for Metropolis and Gotham City, these links are for you.

(Be forewarned of two things: 1) These clips haven't been edited together in any order. 2) These clips are of the second Booster Gold voice. A different voice actor was used during the game's first year, and this second voice is less subtle.)

Gotham City:

• Explore East End
• Explore Amusement Mile
• Explore Giordano Gardens
• Explore Otisburg
• Explore Arkham Island
• Explore Gotham University
• Explore Robinson Park

Metropolis:

• Explore Queensland Boardwalk
• Explore Metropolis University
• Explore Metropolis Metrodome
• Explore Metropolis General Hospital
• Explore Chinatown
• Explore Metro Station
• Explore Science Police HQ
• Explore Suicide Slums
• Explore Tomorrow District
• Explore Centennial Park
• Explore Historic District
• Explore Downtown Metropolis

As a bonus, here are some other Booster audio clips:

• The Last Laugh voice clips
• Soder Cola + Flakies ads

Happy listening!

Does it get better than this?

"Booster and Blue" were two separate ink sketches by Robert Atkins (robertatkinsart.blogspot.com) that have been combined and colored by Simon Gough (spidermanfan2099.deviantart.com). Together, they make a good team.

Earlier this week ComicBookResources.com ran Ryan Ingram's recap of the "Superman: The Post-Crisis Era" panel held July 19 at Comic-Con.

Panelists included names familiar to Superman fans of the late 80s and early 90s, including Jon Bogdanove, Mike Carlin, Jerry Ordway, George Pérez, Louise Simonson, Marv Wolfman, and most notably Dan Jurgens. I say that Jurgens was most notable because during the panel he said this:

"Anybody that looks at [Booster Gold Volume 1] will see the work of somebody who really didn't know what he was doing, who was kind of learning on the job."

That sounds pretty humble for someone who has created a character still around largely unchanged today. How many people can say that the work they did as a novice inspired others for the next 30 years? We should all be so lucky!

Thanks for the mistakes, Dan.
