Geeks of Doom tells us that DC finally announced the poorly-kept secret that Flashpoint #5 would be the official launch point for the DCnU. Time gets changed, and the new DC Universe spins out of it. Spoiler alert: Booster Gold fails at his job of protecting DC's existing continuity.

Major Spoilers reports that Booster Gold will be the official leader of the Justice League International, and that Batman will be an unofficial, secret team member. This would appear to make Batman the greatest hero that the United Nations has never heard of.

Bleeding Cool adds that Flashpoint Global Guardians' character Lady Godiva will be among the members of the Justice League International. However, blond Lady Godiva does not look like the woman on the cover of Justice League International #1. How many heroes will be on this team?

iFanboy tells us that the question of whether Booster Gold will know that he failed to save the time stream will be addressed in Booster Gold #47. If new Flashpoint characters are on his JLI team, I suspect he'll have a clue.

And according to Comic Book Resources, 'Jurgens said he enjoyed "doing Doomsday in a different way, and ending Doomsday in a different way."' I guess that means that this time Superman doesn't die.

EDIT 07/26/2011: After posting this, I realized that Lady Godiva is probably the same Godiva that was once a member of the Global Guardians. Oops. Sorry to doubt you, Booster. Maybe you do get the job done.

The 2011 Comic-Con International is now in full swing. This afternoon's DC "Justice League" panel -- including Dan Jurgens -- is only one example of DC's many scheduled panels. Boosterrific.com wishes all the attendees the best of times.

If this duo from last year's Comic-Con is any indication, a good time will be had by all. Except, maybe, for any Martians whose favorite cookies have suddenly gone missing.

Many people dress as Booster Gold, but few appear as Goldstar. Fortunately there are a brave, dedicated few.

This duo was snapped at the Emerald City Comic Con in March 2011. With a SunDollers coffee in hand, Booster looks ready to face a day full of evil-doers.

Booster booster Herbert Fung forwarded several pictures he took of Booster Gold at the 2011 Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, including the following:

Thinking fast, Herbert snapped this shot reproducing the solicited cover for the upcoming Booster Gold #47! All it's missing is a whole lot of lightning (which may be a good thing, as lightning is probably dangerous in an exhibit hall full of comic books).

Continuing the count down to Comic-Con, the following image of Booster Gold and Skeets at Wondercon 2011 was published by Comics and Dakine back in April.

Booster Gold and Deathstroke may seem like an odd couple, but don't forget who got the best of whom in Booster Gold, Volume 2, #24!
