Booster Gold Still Not Canceled

Who wants some good news?

A Booster Gold television show was first announced in 2011. That one didn't really go anywhere. Then, in 2016, there was some discussion that Booster Gold was being developed into a movie. That one didn't go anywhere, either. Then, in 2023, another Booster Gold television show was announced.

Now, here's the good news. That 2023 announced series isn't dead. Yet.

As The Hollywood Reporter reported Monday from a press conference by DC Studios Co-Head James Gunn:

A series on time traveling hero Booster Gold was waiting for a showrunner to make time for it but "maybe he fell out of love, maybe he got busy," he says, "but we had to pivot."

ComicBook.com adds:

Booster Gold, meanwhile, represents one of the studio’s most intriguing developments, with Gunn confirming the project is "going pretty strong."

So there you go. "Pivot" and "going pretty strong." When it comes to Booster Gold shows, that's as good as news gets.

No, I Didn't See It

Yesterday I received this breathless email from Heidi:

Creature Commandos spoiler! Did you see Booster after the credits of episode 3 of Creature Commandos? He's in the back of one of the visions of the future Circe shows. That's his first appearance in Gunn's DCU, too!

A few hours later, I got a separate email from Rob Snow, who even shared a screenshot:

I think this is Booster in Creature Commandos. It's a vision.

Booster Gold (?) in Creature Commandoes Season 1 Episode 3

If I squint at that, maybe it looks like Booster? Raising his hand to the sky, maybe?

I asked Rob what made him think it was Booster Gold. His answer:

Wild rampant unfounded speculation😝

Ok. Well. Fair enough. I can't argue with that.

Obviously, I have not been watching Creature Commandos. All of this is news to me, and I'm the sort of person who, when something is news to me, I do a little Googling. And while I did not turn up any description of whatever it is that happens at the end of Creature Commandos Season 1 Episode 3 "Cheers To The Tin Man" (probably because it was just released yesterday), I did find an official trailer for Episode 4 which includes this screenshot:

Booster Gold (?) in Creature Commandoes Season 1 Episode 4

Oh, ok. Now I see what Heidi and Rob see. I guess that could be Booster Gold there impaled on the center pike. If I squint.

Thanks to Heidi and Rob for keeping hope alive.

Not Quite There

The title of the most recent Happy Sad Confused podcast is "James Gunn talks SUPERMAN, CREATURE COMMANDOS, BATMAN, LANTERNS, Marvel," so it might surprise you that at the 22:08 mark, host Josh Horowitz directly questions guest James Gunn about the state of the Booster Gold television show.

Josh Horowitz: When Booster Gold came on the scene, that initial twenty-five comic book run is one my favorites ever. So, are we getting close? Because there's been… I'll just ask you point blank: there's a lot of rumors that Kumail [Nanjiani] is going to be your Booster Gold. Can you comment either way?

James Gunn: I mean, we're not quite there yet in terms of Booster Gold. … We're just not quite there. In terms of the scripts aren't quite where I want them to be. You know, from the beginning, you know, I've made it clear that the one thing that we're going to do at DC is no matter what, we're going to wait until the screenplays and the teleplays are ready before we shoot them. And I'm not going to shoot anything until I'm happy with it. … There's other things out there that we're moving. But other things aren't quite there yet. Booster Gold is not quite there.

Note how Gunn carefully doesn't confirm or deny anything while he explains that there is not currently a Booster Gold series ready for production (despite the fact that people have been working on developing Booster Gold scripts for the past 13 years). Make of that what you will.

You can see the whole interview at YouTube.com.

This Isn't Helping

No. I foolishly didn’t even know there was more than one photo! @jamesgunn threads.net
via threads.net

Technically, this isn't a denial that Nanjiani will be playing Booster Gold. This is a denial that Nanjiani has been confirmed as playing Booster Gold. (And a cautionary tale about reposting content you didn't originate on antisocial media in the Misinformation Age.)

Make of that what you will.

All In One Word

Ok, so Booster Gold can't be seen anywhere in Absolute Power #2. But that's not the only place you won't find our hero!

As reported by BleedingCool.com and other sources, earlier this week X.com user romaa_0905 asked director James Gunn whether Booster Gold will appear in his upcoming Superman movie. Gunn's answer?

"No."

Great! Now I don't have to watch Superman. Thanks, James!

However, Booster booster Rob Snow reports that elsewhere on X, via DCOfficial to be precise, it appears we are getting confirmation that Booster Gold will definitely be in next month's DC All-In Special #1.

Technically, the post I've linked to above is promoting the "Justice League membership cards" DC (via Lunar Distribution) is distributing to comic shops to promote Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and... Darkseid(???) in October. For more information about that story and when you can get your own copy of those cards, visit thepopverse.com.

But don't be distracted by the shiny card. The important takeaway here is that Booster Gold will definitely be seen in the DC All-In Special when it comes to your Local Comic Shop on October 2. Thanks, Rob!
