According to a report at kotaku.com, Booster Gold will be an optional in-game support character for Batman in the upcoming Batman: the Brave and the Bold video game produced by Warner Brothers/WayForward for the Wii.

"When Booster flew in, the paparazzi showed up, he zapped each enemy and flew away. He's a celebrity super-hero, so that's what he does." -- Stephen Totilo for kotaku.com

While you will not be able to play as Booster, some Booster is better than none. Since the game is based on the cartoon, is there any chance that Booster will be voiced by Tom Everet Scott?

The game is scheduled for a September 2010 release, so you should be able to play this in between episodes of the series' third and final season. Game details are available at the kidswb.com official site here.

J.M. DeMatteis, once and future writer for Booster Gold, gave a recent interview to iFanboy.com about, among other things, his upcoming return to writing for the character of Booster Gold. Perhaps the most appealing information from the interview is the revelation that the Justice League International will be making a guest appearance in an upcoming episode of Batman: the Brave and the Bold next season on Cartoon Network. Super, super sweet.

We opened the week discussing Booster Gold visiting the stories of yesteryear. It now appears we should have been discussing his return to the stories of yesteryear, as it seems that he had already beaten us to it.

In 1963's World's Finest Comics #135, Batman stumbles across a mysterious blue and yellow-clad figure who has apparently traveled from the Gotham City of the future via Time Sphere. Turns out that both the Time Sphere and the mysterious fellow's future-tech was stolen, a fact discovered when Superman travels to the future and meets with the thief's twin sibling. All of this sounds pretty familiar, no?

The story, "Menace of the Future Man" was written by Bill Finger, who perhaps owes more to the creation of Booster Gold than one may have thought. A pretty complete issue review can be found at Silver Age Comics. The story was also recently reprinted in Showcase Presents World's Finest Volume 2.

So now that the comic book featuring the wealthiest hero in comics is the most valuable comic book in history, how much longer before the greediest hero in comics, Booster Gold, makes an appearance in 'Tec 27? Booster's already appeared in Killing Joke, Countdown to Infinite Crisis, and Teen Titans #2, and he will soon pop into the events of Superman #80 (not to mention appearances behinds the scenes at Zero Hour and Crisis on Infinite Earths), so it can't be too long before he pops into another issue pivotal to DC history. With the upcoming return of Bruce Wayne, it seems like a pretty good time for Booster to visit the classics.

Booster Gold appeared briefly on the Cartoon Network's Batman: The Brave and the Bold last Friday as the unwitting contestant in "Riddle Me This?", a mock television game show masquerading for the Riddler's latest death trap for Batman. The episode, "A Bat Divided!" was amusing throughout despite the brief screen time of the Corporate Crusader. Of particular amusement was the Riddler's silencing of Skeets through the clever application of a simple cloth gag. That's good television.
