Booster Backer Morgenstern calls our attention to Michael Stevens of Sneakpeek.ca, who on Friday, April 13, 2012, reported:

Syfy confirms it now has a pilot script, written by Andrew Kreisberg ("Fringe") for a one-hour drama based on the DC Comics superhero character "Booster Gold", to be executive produced by Greg Berlanti ("Brothers & Sisters").

I haven't seen confirmation of this yet anywhere else on the web, but I sure would like for it to be true (especially if it's any good).

Frequent commenter and native-Israeli deusex2 drops by to explain the small changes that Booster Gold would need to make to comfortably join Israel society in today's entry in the "Booster Gold International" files:

OK, first of all it's important to remember that Israel is a multicultural country, there are people, litteraly from all over the world and they all bring their culture with them. Therefore, an Israeli Booster Gold would be no different from the original American Booster. The character, his goals and his past would all be the same for the most part but of course, there would be some differences.

First and foremost, the star on Booster's costume would have to go and instead Israeli Booster would, probably, end up wearing David's Star instead. I say probably, because the original looks too darn well to be changed and Booster isn't really that great at maintaining his suit during his first years of hero career, so this is more like a speculation on my part.

Now here's the hard truth part and this is a must for an Israeli Booster-his sport career. You see, people in Israel aren't all that familiar with American Football, they on the other hand, are soccer junkies, most of Israelis are, really. So Israeli Booster wouldn't fail as American Football player, but rather he would fail as a soccer player. A small, but significant difference.

Next important difference is that, well, stereotypes exist for a reason. And as such, Israeli Booster Gold would be far more successful businessman than the original Booster Gold...He'll still lose it all in the end, but for some time Israeli Booster and Ted Kord will become filthy rich.

And last but not least-commercials! We, Boostermaniacs, all know that commercials are very important part of Booster Gold. Quite frankly, we can't picture Booster Gold NOT doing any commercials and what's more-we actually love those commercials because they bring out the character in Booster Gold. So, anyway, most of commercials actually fit quite well, from soder cola to children toys. However there's one thing that just doesn't makes any sense for Israeli Booster Gold-cornflakes commercial!

Yes, we have those things in Israel, but nobody eats them! It's pretty much a lost cause for Booster. Which is why, Israeli Booster Gold wouldn't bother with it, period. He would partake in hummus commercial, though. Heck! He'd have his own hummus product! Hummus Gold-it's Boosterrific!

I think I could still recognize Booster after those changes, deusex2. (I even think he might look better in a Star of David than in a Jim Lee-designed costume.)

The next post in this series will be from Germany. If you wish to share what Booster Gold would mean to your culture, drop me an email at webmaster at Boosterrific.com.

Several of you said last week's poll was a hard choice, but there was ultimately one clear winner.

Last week's poll question: If you could choose only one writer for all future Booster Gold appearances ever, who would it be? (46 votes)

Two issues ago, the Justice League International lost 4 members. Since then three new members have joined the title to replace them. With one open spot and a few other New 52 characters looking for a new home, should any of them end up in the JLI?

First Batwing, then OMAC, and soon Firehawk... Justice League International is starting to look like Canceled Comics Cavalcade. Once upon a time, characters that couldn't even beat Firestorm in a fight were relegated to be pulped in the Suicide Squad. Now, they are sent off to join the Justice League? Surely these leftover characters aren't the reason that Justice League International sales aren't topping the charts?

Note that Booster Gold, Volume 2, #5 had sold well with a guest appearance by a founding Justice Leaguer. Maybe JLI could use a little more help than Firestorm's cast-offs?

Denver Brubaker is most prominently known as the mastermind behind the web comic Tales of a Checkered Man, but the man also has a soft spot for a particularly comedic duo.

For someone with his own webcomic to promote, Brubaker finds plenty of time to share the love with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. The image above was Brubaker's contribution to a thread of Blue Beetle and Booster Gold fan art that he instigated over a year ago on Comic Vine. In more recent months, Brubaker has tried to drum up support for a Blue and Gold webcomic at Outcast studios and showcased another image of Blue and Gold on Comics Alliance.

You can find more of the talented Mr. Brubaker's work at thecheckeredman.deviantart.com and, of course, checkeredman.com.
