This time last week, I was telling you not to get too excited about the possibility of a Booster Gold movie. Tim Clodfelter of the Winston-Salem Journal agrees. He thinks you should be getting excited about the possibility of a Booster Gold television show.

[At the Television Critics Association] I asked Geoff Johns, the chief creative officer of DC Comics, about the possibility of even more shows based on DC Comics titles, including "Booster Gold," about an opportunistic adventurer from the future who travels back in time to modern day to use his knowledge of history to change current events and make a quick buck in the process ([Johns:] "We're talking about Booster Gold, he's a big character for us, all the time")... .

Investigative reporting? Wishful thinking? Who knows.

What cereals will Booster Gold endorse next? Something with marshmallows? Bran flakes? A Fruity Pebbles knock-off?

Last week's poll question: Which Booster Gold-endorsed cereal do you like best? (34 votes)

We got the news — good or bad, depending on your feelings about The CW — that Booster will not be in Legends of Tomorrow, but we still don't know why not. The project would have seemed perfect for him.

If you were paying attention this weekend, you've probably already heard the news reported by Laurence Almalvez of The Hollywood Reporter.

"I wish I could tease a Booster thing but, you might have to wait a good long while at least on our show," said [Legends of Tomorrow showrunner Phil] Klemmer. "Perhaps Booster is being groomed for bigger things."

Or perhaps he's not. Who knows?

The nerd-baiting click farms that populate the Interwebs want you to believe that this is clear evidence that a Booster Gold movie is in the works. Don't be fooled. This isn't clear evidence of anything other than news that Booster Gold fans don't have to watch Legends of Tomorrow.

Don't worry. If there's going to be a Booster Gold movie, DC will let us know.

Wherever Booster finally shows up, his fans will be watching.

Last week's poll question: How has Rip Hunter's role in Legends of Tomorrow affected your opinion about the chances of Booster Gold getting his own TV show? (41 votes)

In yesterday's Bat-Mite #3, we learned that Booster Gold is endorsing the fourth cereal of his career. Take that, Superman!

These polls don't often surprise me, but I wasn't prepared for the response that most of you are more invested in Booster Gold naming Doomsday than you were in KooeyKooeyKooey.

Last week's poll question: Which piece of Booster Gold's history are you least bothered to see omitted from the New 52 reboot? (40 votes)

I suspect that I underestimate the power "Death of Superman" had in invigorating the comics-buying public and the influence that the story still holds for DC Comics readers. I don't know why that should be. I personally still wear a "Reign of the Supermen" era Superboy black leather jacket with an "S"-shield on the back and a Superman #75-style mourning armband.

But enough about me. Let's talk about what I want to watch on television. Namely, a show starring my favorite hero!
