No Skeets for You!
Russ Burlingame asked Dan Jurgens about the Justice League International cancellation on Wednesday at comicbook.com. As expected, Jurgens wouldn't or couldn't elaborate on DC's bigger plans, but he did manage to deliver this devastating news:
Burlingame: For all we old Booster Gold fans, will we see the New 52 Skeets before all of this is over?
Dan Jurgens: The plan had been to unveil Skeets in #13. Since we're not going to get there, Skeets will be "heard" and not seen.
"Skeets will be 'heard' and not seen"?
"Skeets will be 'heard' and not seen"?
"Skeets will be 'heard' and not seen"!?!
First DC screws us out of the 50th issue of Booster Gold, where we were promised the resolution of the Black Beetle's story, and now the company screws us out of meeting Skeets in the New 52? Mr. Jurgens, maybe you should consider resolving your stories a little faster in the future.
Oh, you'd better have a plan to fix this, DC.

International Exchange: JLI #9
The latest of Russ Burlingame's "International Exchange" interviews with Dan Jurgens is up at ComicBook.com. I may have my problems with the decompression in Jurgens' recent JLI stories, but I have to say that I really admire his willingness to discuss each issue afterwards. That's above and beyond the call of duty for a professional with his portfolio.
IX: It's interesting—the dialog between Batman and Batwing suggests that even the superhero community isn't really clear on Booster's "deal." Did you want to roll back the number of people in the hero community who knew his "secret?"
Dan Jurgens: No. It's just that we tend to be a skeptical society now.
If an individual suddenly shows up and claims to be from the future, some people are bound to be skeptical. On top of that, I think Batman, more than any other hero, would be the type to check into it on his own and make sure.
Now, if you wrap that into the idea of a hero who advertises projects and tends to hype himself, well, you can see why Batwing would have assumed it was an act.
I'm skeptical about the implication that we were not a skeptical society "then." I don't think there has been a point in history where the general population would believe a man's own claims about being from the future. Even in 1955, we'd want a doctor to take a look for head trauma in that "future boy."
What I'm still more skeptical about is the possibility that Batwing isn't a jerk.

There's a Name for It
A 2-to-1 margin? Wow. That "time cop" concept is pretty good, huh. Someone should probably make a television show about that.
Last week's poll question: If future stories were to focus on only one aspect of Booster Gold's multifaceted career, which would you prefer? (38 votes)
Speaking of that television show, what should they call it? Since SyFy is still referring to it as the Untitled Booster Gold Project (probably because they are still lining up a corporate sponsor), I'm shamelessly stealing an idea from Russ Burlingame's article at ComicBook.com, and putting possible titles to a vote.

International Exchange: JLI #8
Hopefully you didn't miss Russ Burlingame's most recent "International Exchange" column that was posted at ComicBook.com on Thursday. If you did, you missed this imortant bit:
IX: Wow! It's been a while since we had the old "Booster Gold's suit is out of batteries" problem. I kinda thought it had gone the way of Green Lantern's 24-hour charge.
Dan Jurgens: Not quite. It's still make of a fiberweave circuitry that depends on a power supply.
IX: That said, shouldn't Booster have been able to swoop down to save Batwing using nothing but his good looks and Legion flight ring?
DJ: ESPECIALLY the good looks!
Yes. Especially.

International Exchange: JLI #7
If you haven't yet read Justice League International #7, stay far, far away from this month's "International Exchange" column at ComicBook.com. Once you've read the issue, rush over for Russ Burlingame's grilling of Dan Jurgens about the events of the paradigm-shifting issue.
IX: Going on the assumption that I made last issue—that [Rocket Red's] armor would have been infected by that interface... does that now put Skeets at risk?
DJ: Perhaps. Or it's possible that Skeets might make a startling discovery of his own. Or none at all. Or might just go to an ATM to withdraw cash. Hard to tell at this point.
Believe it or not, for this issue with plenty of focus on Booster Gold, Burlingame and Jurgens don't even mention our hero. However, a hinted implication that we'll be seeing more Skeets in the future is a happy substitute. An unasked, unanswered question is whether we'll actually be seeing Skeets, who has yet to appear on panel since Flashpoint, over half-a-year ago. Where have you been hiding, Skeets?
