Chaos Brings Booster Gold to the CW
Mr. Chaos has posted the first episode of his Booster Gold CW-inspired fan fiction in the Boosterrific Forum.
Although Chaos has made several changes from canon in his adaptation, I think he's done a very good job of integrating Booster Gold into the style of the CW's "Arrowverse." If Greg Berlanti and Zack Stentz treat Booster Gold so well with their movie script, I think we would all be very satisfied.
Go read it and be your own judge.

Booster Gold Movie to Stand Alone
On Wednesday, Abraham Riesman reported the following for Vulture.com:
"As of right now we have no connective tissue to those worlds," [Greg] Berlanti said when asked if the movie would be part of the DC Extended Universe that already includes Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad .... "It'd be a separate thing."
Berlanti also indicated that the movie is an extension of the Booster Gold TV show abandoned by the SyFy network in 2012. He gives credit to Geoff Johns for rolling that canceled project into a theatrical movie. Johns recently told the Wall Street Journal that he is trying to make the cinematic DC Universe less "gritty and dark." (I think I owe Geoff Johns a drink.)
Back to the original topic: the Booster Gold movie is currently planned to be a stand-alone story with no connection to the larger Warner Brothers cinematic DC Universe. Whether you think that is good news or bad news probably depends on whether you're one of the people who helped Batman v Superman make $872 million.
Let's find out where Booster boosters stand.
This week's poll question: How do you feel about the Booster Gold movie not taking place in the Warner Bros DC Extended Universe? Please visit the Boosterrific Polls page to view results for this week's poll.

Confirmed: No Gold on Legends of Tomorrow
Over the weekend, a reliable source confirmed 2 things for me:
1) Booster Gold will NOT be appearing in the season finale of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
2) Booster Gold will NOT be appearing in ANY DC television property in the foreseeable future.
Why not? Because Booster Gold is currently reserved for development as a movie property.
Good things? Bad things? You decide.

You Just Might Find You Get What You Need
The continued speculation that Booster Gold might be the secret guest star of the season finale of DC's Legends of Tomorrow has driven countless websites to run articles informing their readers who Booster Gold is. I'm of two minds about this.
One, how many people could there be watching Legends of Tomorrow who have no idea who Booster Gold is? Over two million people watched when he was featured in a Smallville episode 5 years ago on the same network. Am I to believe that the entire Legends audience are new-to-the-scene teenagers? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but back in my day, teenagers learned about comic book super heroes by reading comic books. Of course, there are no Booster Gold comics being published right now, so maybe these websites are just picking up DC's slack.
Two, is it a good thing that the public is being educated about Booster Gold if so many of these sites are getting some pretty basic facts wrong? How would Booster feel if he learned the person writing his biography had never heard of him before putting finger to keyboard. If all anyone learns about Booster Gold is that he's a jerk who trades heroing for cash and fame, is that really helping the character?
Don't get me wrong. I'm excited that people are talking about Booster Gold. And I suppose that it's irrational of me to expect them to say only nice things. However, I could expect some reporting accuracy. Or maybe a link to the Internet's foremost repository for Booster Gold information. Hint, hint.
Oh, well. As the song goes, you can't always get what you want. Booster Gold would be happy knowing people were talking about him.

I've Got Your Beloved DC Hero Right Here
Yesterday, Michael Ausiello of TVLine.com reported the following:
Rumor has it the final scene of Legends of Tomorrow's May 19 season finale will introduce a "beloved superhero from the DC canon" whose mysterious agenda serves as "a launching off point for Season 2."
Naturally, the Internet seems to think this will be Booster Gold. "Mysterious" might be a bit much, but "beloved" is on target.
If you recall, it was just last August when Legends of Tomorrow Executive Producer Phil Klemmer told The Hollwyood Reporter that there was no way Booster Gold would be appearing in Season One.
"I wish I could tease a Booster thing but, you might have to wait a good long while at least on our show. Perhaps Booster is being groomed for bigger things."
Have Booster's "bigger things" fallen through? Was "bigger things" always intended to be Legends of Tomorrow's Season Two? Or is this "mysterious" and "beloved" hero from DC's canon not Booster Gold at all? I guess we'll find out on May 19.
