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.
