Yeah. I bet when he returns, Whenever that's (I'm betting as a cliffhanger at the end of "We are Yesterday." but I could be wrong. Have been in past.) he'll at least get a mini-series, at the very least. Most likely written by Joshua Williamson or Mark Waid. Or maybe They both co-write. Or maybe it someone else. IDK.

Well i saw the SINGLE PANEL he's in. Man DC lives a skinny bearded chained up Booster

Skeets cameos in Challengers of the Unknown, at least! But yeah, I literally gasped aloud when I saw Booster's monologue-style.

RE: Skeets in Challengers. Has anyone been reading this series? Does Skeets' appearance herein make any sense? I know what I *think* it's telling me (which I will not reveal at this time because potential "spoilers," just like how Booster's appearance in Summer of Superman appears to toss out everything we thought we knew about the ending to All In and the Absolute Universe), but it's possible I missed something as I haven't been following Challengers (or, frankly, anything else DC has published since they gulagged Booster Gold).

I think it does, but I hesitate to say for sure, only because it feels very meta to me? I have been reading Challengers and quite liking it, and was really touched by the scene surrounding that cameo.

But ALSO! I will note that Booster's costume was either an art error or an interesting choice, since he'd gone back to his 80s pre-Doomsday costume at the end of the All-In special and is wearing his modern one at the end of the Superman special. (Also that somehow the man manages to have amazing hair even after at *least* a month of dangling in chains. LOL!)

I dunno if any of that means anything, it was just interesting to me.

I still don't get how Rip Hunter isn't a villain at this point. I never got how if Rip's job is to preserve the timeline and keep people like Thawne from messing with it. Why did Rip let Thawne alter history by killing Barry's mom?

SLW (Steff) posted on Apr. 17, 2025 at 7:09 AM
@clonegeek -- I mean, from my POV, Rip's been an actual asshole significant amounts of his post-Crisis life. LOL! In Vol. 2 alone, there's only so far you can use the predestination paradox as an excuse to treat another human being the way he treated Booster, who you'd THINK he'd show a bit more care for. It probably wouldn't annoy me as much if they'd actually call his shit behavior out in the narrative properly.

DC has never known how to actually do time travel. They really really *really* want to use it like a shiny toy, but they don't like working out the metaphysics of it and then sticking to whatever rules they invent. Booster should have disappeared about a billion times by now; they need to kind of just unchain him from that and let him be a temporal refugee permanently whose existence is not predicated on a set future, and then stick with that. Any future knowledge he has hasn't been relevant-- at least since the 90s.

Ironically, Fire's tube top and jacket combo is probably less revealing in the long run than the skintight body suits of her teammates

Except when she's on fire, of course. But you have a point. Heck, Booster's "skins" literally forms an arrow pointing to his crotch. Personally, I've always thought it weird that Ice's costume is so revealing -- just fuzzy boots, crop top, and blue paint, really -- given her personality.

SLW (Steff) posted on Apr. 12, 2025 at 4:52 PM
I can get the point of skintight clothing, though. Hard to grab. Case in point: Booster's little story about Superman stealing his cape. I've never really minded that, because you can make an argument for the sheer practicality based just on that alone.

As for Booster's costume, he's arrows all the way down. Feet together, including the tops of his boots. I always kinda liked that look, though; aside from the collar (which everyone loves but is highly debatable fashion sense), he's flashy and striking and very pretty, which is about how a man who's trying to partially make a living on his looks should be.

Also-- why is Ted so *tiny*? I am 99% sure he's easily taller than Tora. LOL!

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Apr. 12, 2025 at 8:36 PM
In the original Who's Who, Ted is listed as 5' 11", whereas in the Update '88, Icemaiden is listed 5' 7".

In defense of Booster's collar (which really needs no defense, come on now), I've always felt it added extra visual weight to the upper body, breaking up the silhouetted of a traditional male nude and giving the illusion of looking "dressed." Besides, collars are classy! (In the 1980s, the fashion of the popped collar differentiated the haves from the have-nots, a la Pretty in Pink or any John Hughes movie, for that matter. And Booster would always want to give the impression of being "have.")

LOL! Well, I could absolutely see J. C. Leyendecker wanting him as a model. Or just wanting him. Or both.

I wanna know how the hell you have ANY book based on any of the JLI, and somehow don't touch on the fact an entire PERSON is missing entirely????

Rrrrrrrrgh.

bob posted on Apr. 12, 2025 at 11:32 AM
who's missing? were they missing then or now?

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Apr. 12, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Booster Gold has been missing from the DCU for months. Publishers generally release reprints to coincide with hightened interest, not at a time when the featured characters aren't in (or even mentioned in) any book. Out of sight, out of mind.

Tiffany posted on Apr. 4, 2025 at 10:03 AM
The book looks fun. I can't wait to read it. I've been soft following it for awhile. Just put it on hold at my library. I hope it's everything it looks to be.

It was cute! And baby!Rip was adorable.

I'm mostly interested in Jimmy and the New Gods. But baby Rip sound fun too.
