Smallville Update

The web is abuzz with the news that Tom Welling will be directing the Smallville episode "Booster" featuring guess who. Pros and cons:

Pro: Welling plays Superman
Con: He has never read comic books and is no doubt completely unfamiliar with Booster Gold
Pro: Welling has directed several earlier episodes
Con: He has only helmed 6 episodes over 9 full seasons
Pro: Welling directed the Justice Society in an earlier episode written by Geoff Johns
Con: He wore a black trenchcoat in that episode

Made up your mind yet? Don't worry, you've still got time before Booster Gold's first live-action appearance. "Booster" is scheduled to air sometime in April.

Any word on who's playing him?

Nope, not yet. I'm certainly interested, and I'll be passing the word along once I find out.

While he is definitely directing the episode, I think the biggest pro is the fact that he didn't write it himself. Kidding aside, though, I cannot wait for this episode!!

Sorry, I was wrong, the biggest pro is Booster just being in the show. Then . . blah blah

How watchable was the Justice Society episode? (From the viewpoint of someone who generally finds the show unwatchable).

I cannot tell a lie: I did not watch it. But my one friend who does watch says it was a series highlight. (I gave up on the show after two seasons and haven't looked back. I will look back only when Booster arrives.)

this episode along with the teen titans episodes (and Green Arrow, who I'm a big fan of, but not from the show, though I'm sure he is great) and the JSA from last year has inspired me to get into this show, though the early episodes are pretty bad with the teen drama crap, but I heard season 4 when he goes to Metropolis starts the show down the path of being watchable, and maybe even fun.

I've only watched the last three years of Smallville. They have all been great. The show is basically "The New Adventures of Lois and Clark." The Justice Society episode, as well as the Legion episode (both written by Geoff Johns) were amazing. I have very good expectations for this episode.

Brave and the Bold: Bat Divided

Booster Gold appeared briefly on the Cartoon Network's Batman: The Brave and the Bold last Friday as the unwitting contestant in "Riddle Me This?", a mock television game show masquerading for the Riddler's latest death trap for Batman. The episode, "A Bat Divided!" was amusing throughout despite the brief screen time of the Corporate Crusader. Of particular amusement was the Riddler's silencing of Skeets through the clever application of a simple cloth gag. That's good television.
