More than 3 million people are watching Arrow each week, not a far cry from the numbers that Smallville was pulling in its final season. Given that the CW approved a full season of episodes, it would seem that the network is happy. But the only question that matters is how Booster Gold fans feel about the show.

Last week's poll question: How have episodes of Arrow influenced your expectations for a Booster Gold television show from the same producers? (40 votes)

Arrow has changed a lot while adapting Green Arrow for television. Some modifications are to be expected as the character moves away from his source material, but it's not like characters don't change over time even in their native comic book format. Even Booster Gold has changed a little since his 1985 debut.

Outside of Luthor's brief term in office, DC comics have traditionally had benevolent Presidents, at least so far as the agenda of super heroes have been concerned. It's always Senators who are the really evil ones. (Just ask Booster Gold his opinion of Senator Ballard.)

Last week's poll question: In comic books, would you rather have a good President or an evil one? (33 votes)

Enough politics. Let's talk about something that really matters: television.

Since you're reading this post on a website devoted to the greatest hero in the history of whichever DC Universe you prefer, you are interested in the Booster Gold series in development by the SyFy network. There has been precious little information about that show so far, but that's because the producers have been busy with a show based on a different colorful DC hero: Green Arrow.

Arrow debuts tonight on The CW, and it may provide the best clues to what producers Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg have in mind for Booster Gold. If the title is any indication, we know that SyFy's show will probably be called just Booster. For any more hints, we'll have to watch The CW tonight at 8:00 PM EST.

It seems a shame that it is equally impossible that Alan Moore will ever write for Booster Gold as it is that Jack Kirby will rise from the dead to draw him.

Last week's poll question: Which legendary writer/artist duo would you have liked to see collaborate on Booster Gold? (42 votes)

After last week's poll exercise in the classics, let's go back to the future!

It was announced back in April that Cartoon Network's Robot Chicken would have a "DC Comics Special" in their upcoming sixth season. Yesterday, we finally got a quick look at the episode by way of IGN.com. Surprise, surprise, it includes an appearance of Booster Gold (at about 1:34).

So mark your calendars! Booster Gold may not have any comic appearances scheduled through November, but he'll be on your TV this September 9th. (Thanks to Russ Burlingame at ComicBook.com for calling this to my attention.)

UPDATE 09/07/12: According to Vaneta Rogers' Newsarama.com interview with Robot Chicken writer Kevin Shinick, Booster Gold's speaking part has been cut from the episode. You may or may not still see Booster in the episode, but he won't be opening his big mouth. Thanks to MetalWoman for pointing out this disappointing news.
