Super Singing Friends

The following blog post has been brought to you by the Super Friends of DC Comics fan blogging: Shag of Firestorm fan site FirestormFan.com pointed out this weekend that Lia of Flash fan site SpeedForce.org posted a video last week from Cartoon Network's Mad that features Booster Gold. (Sometimes tracking Booster Gold, like life, is all about who you know.)

That song sounds to me like something you might hear on TMZ. That's probably fitting for a song including a part by the celebrity-seeking Booster Gold.

For the record, that video, posted to YouTube by Vitouliss, was broadcast in the MAD episode "Al Pacino and the Chipmunks / That's What Super Friends Are For" that originally aired February 27, 2012.

Green Arrow Shafts Booster Gold

Yesterday, the CW Network released a pic of Green Arrow from the Arrow pilot. This is bad news. Follow my logic:

  1. The CW and SyFy request scripts for Green Arrow and Booster Gold respectively from Berlanti Productions
  2. Berlanti makes a Green Arrow script that CW likes enough to turn into a pilot and publicly promote.
  3. Berlanti focuses on the project that is most likely to make them money.
  4. Therefore, the Booster Gold television project slides into development hell.

Pilot season for Fall 2012 is almost over, and there has been no new news about a Booster Gold pilot. In Hollywood, no news is bad news. It is beginning to look like we won't be seeing Booster Gold on TV this fall. Maybe next year?

The Second Best Around

Probably no surprise following his golden performance in Smallville, but Eric Martsolf garnered the best response in last week's poll. Even if he doesn't land the role (and I can't really imagine that he'd want to leave Days of Our Lives for a shot at a series on ScyFy), he'll always be television's first live-action Booster Gold and have a place in our hearts.

Last week's poll question: Who would you like to see cast as Booster Gold? (42 votes)

Who would you like to see cast as Booster Gold?

In a poll two weeks ago, I asked you to choose your favorite Booster Gold comic from among the books with the best fan ratings here at Boosterrific.com. This week, I'm asking you to choose your favorites from some of the books that have earned my personal highest ratings. No matter which you vote for this week, there are no losers in this bunch.



[If you need your memory jogged, here are the links to the issues in question: Booster Gold, v1 #18; Justice League #4; Justice League Quarterly #1; Superman, v2, #74; 52 Week 15.]

Casting Call

It's been over a week since the news broke, and we here at Boosterrific are still justifiably giddy over the possibility of a Booster Gold television series.

Last week's poll question: What is your initial response to the news that Booster Gold has been optioned for television? (39 votes)

What is your initial response to the news that Booster Gold has been optioned for television?

Fan casting is a popular passtime across the internet, so it's natural to take a look around for ideas who could end up playing Booster Gold. (Sure, it's premature, but it's fun.) In the past year, fan casts have appeared on ComicBookMocie.com and IGN.com. Earlier this week, Russ Burlingame ran his own casting call over at ComicBook.com. Popular suggestions seem to include Eric Martsolf, James Roday, Nathan Fillion, and Tom Everett Scott. I'm sure you probably have someone in mind.

Broadcast Views

Recently in the Boosterrific Forum, Morgenstern noted, "The news about this script seems to have caused more media buzz for Booster than anything he did ever in the comics." That's quite true.

For years, comic books have been an increasingly small market. With DC's recent hype machine running full blast, they sold nearly 4.5 million comics for the entire line for the entire month. By comparison, SyFy recently renewed their most recent show about super heroes, Alphas. The network claimed that this one show alone averages 3.3 million viewers weekly.

For a more direct, apples-to-apples comparison, consider that if a television series about Booster Gold has as many viewers as the least-watched episode of Caprica, a SyFy series cancelled earlier this year because of low ratings, that series would represent a nearly 980% increase in views over the best selling issue of Booster Gold, Volume 2. That's a significant increase in audience! Here's looking at you, SyFy!
