The way I see it, if you're going to steal a time machine, why not do it with some style?

Last week's poll question: Which time machine would you like to see Booster Gold "borrow" next? (65 votes)

This weeks' "news" that Booster Gold is will could one day appear on The Flash — there's already some discussion that one of the show's characters is Booster in disguise! — inspires me to ask a similar question to one I asked about Smallville back in 2011.

DC Comics fans know that The Flash pilot airs tonight on The CW network, home of Arrow. Flash and Arrow share continuity, and they also share producers: Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg. If those names sound familiar, it's because those are the same fellows responsible for the Booster Gold series that died a quiet death at SyFy a few years ago. But that might not be the last we'll hear of Booster's live-action adventures.

Russ Burlingame reports for ComicBook.com:

During a Q&A session [October 6] with reporters, DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns said that the chances are "probably pretty good" that time-traveling, self-promoting superhero Booster Gold will appear on the series.

Adding fuel to the fire is a report by MTVNews.com:

Upcoming characters to expect to pop up in that way are the Pied Piper (yet to be cast) and potentially even Booster Gold!

"There's no rights issues and quite honestly Andrew and Greg have a great Booster Gold script, and Booster Gold's a beloved character, so I would say chances are good [he will appear]," Johns noted.

Sounds like if The Flash is a success, we'll be seeing a live-action Booster Gold sooner rather than later! Stay tuned, Booster believers.

It was 20 years ago today that the most famous car chase in American history captivated our attention.

On June 17, 1994, the nation watched as the L.A.P.D. chased a white Ford Bronco along the Los Angeles freeways at a show-stopping 35 miles per hour. Of course, the driver of that Bronco was one Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson, a Hall of Fame football player suspected in the grisly murder of his ex-wife and her friend.

"The Chase" was a ratings bonanza, with an estimated 95 millions Americans glued to their televisions that Friday evening. How could another former football player with his own checkered history not want to get in on that kind of free publicity?

Be careful, ladies. Booster Gold is a heart-breaker!

Last week's poll question: Which reality television show would be the best showcase for the talents of Booster Gold? (47 votes)

DC Entertainment recently sent me a survey asking what I thought about romance in comics, as in, "do you want to read about your heroes having love interests?" My answer was "yes"! (Without love, what are heroes fighting for? Market share?) What would your answer be?

It looks like even John Constantine is getting a television show before Booster Gold does.

As you have probably heard by now, The Flash television show will be on The CW this fall. A trailer for the show hit the web last week, and it got people talking. Even people who aren't familiar with Barry Allen. People like M.L. Brumage of LetUsNerd.com:

I'm sure comic book fans could spend hours telling me how great he is (I haven't read many Flash comics) and I can't say I'd disagree with them, because this trailer looks pretty good. And, if they bring Booster Gold into it (which there are zero rumors to back up this hope) I'm in for the long haul.

Someone who doesn't know the Flash but does know Booster Gold? There is hope for this rotten world yet. If Booster appears on The Flash, I'm in too.

You can see the whole trailer at LetUsNerd.com.
