No, Booster Gold does not appear in Batman: Arkham Origins. What does appear in Batman: Arkham Origins, according to ComicBookCast on YouTube.com, is a reference to Blaze Comics, the fictional publishing house of Booster's DCU comic book.

Batman: Arkham Origins was released two weeks ago. If you haven't picked it up yet, maybe this will be the incentive you need to do so.

Two weeks ago I warned you to expect Booster Gold in Scribblenauts Unmasked. The game's release earlier this week was accompanied by this video on youtube. Pay close attention at around the 45 second mark and tell em what you see.

That's right, it is the Justice League International! It's about time everybody's favorite Justice League made it into a video game together.

Scribblenauts Unmasked is available now for the 3Ds and Wii U.

Some people who play video games want more than the default characters. They want to customize the action and play with their heroes. We have those gamers to thank for the following Booster skins, costumes, and mods.

Moving clockwise from the left:

Booster Gold Sackboy from Little Big Planet (found on ComicBookMovie.com).

Booster Gold costume for Animal Crossing (found on imgur.com).

Booster Gold skin for Fallout New Vegas (found on newvegas.nexusmods.com).

Booster Gold skin for Minecraft (found on www.PlanetMinecraft.com).

Booster Gold has fans everywhere!

Back in June I told you to expect Booster Gold as a chess piece and as a deck-building game card. There was one other game I hesitated to mention because I was waiting for proof of Booster's inclusion. Turns out I just wasn't looking hard enough.

In this youtube demo from E3 by kNIGHTWING01, Booster's Nu52 costume is clearly included in the game. That means your avatar will be able to cosplay as Booster in the upcoming Scribblenauts Unmasked video game from 5th Cell. Hooray!

The game will be available on Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Windows PCs on the 24th of this month. For more details, visit www.Scribblenauts.com. (Thanks to Erin of Exploring the Time Lab for finding that video).

Last month the DCnU Justice League made it's video-game debut in Justice League: Earth's Final Defense for the iPad/iPhone. While Booster Gold isn't a playable character, he (and Skeets!) do appear as one of the game's hidden, upgradeable Support Cards. (I found Booster Gold by beating Lex Luthor with Green Lantern on the game's Easy setting.)

The 5 playable heroes (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman plus unlockable Flash and Green Lantern) and characters in most of the 30 Support Cards wear their New 52 costumes, but Booster is wearing his classic power suit. Skeets, however, looks like he's gotten a bit of a the DCnU redesign treatment with unnecessary segmentation a new ventral fin! The artist of this piece is unknown, though odds are he is an employee of this game's South Korean game developer, CJ E&M. (Artist found! See update below.)

The game is not without its flaws, the most egregious of which is that by the time you've found the Booster Gold card and earned enough points to fully upgrade him, you're probably done playing. (Booster's card increases a character's maximum health and energy. It's a useful effect late in the game, but the cost to unlock the card is a significant obstacle.) That's not to say that it can't be fun for a few hours, and is therefore probably a better use of $2.99 than buying a New 52 comic book.

You can download the game for your portable iOS device via iTunes.

UPDATE 09/16/2012: Kim In Tae receives in-game credit for the game's 2D art.
