To me, Booster Gold has always worked best in tandem with large teams in books that were comedically bent. I love his team ups with The Blue Beetle and I particularly like his stints on The Justice League (both the 80s comics and the DC Cartoon). Do I think he’ll work well in a live action series?
I’m not sure.
But Booster Gold seems like it would be right up the alley of SyFy (formerly Sci-Fi) who ordered a script written for a pilot.
From the Hollywood Reporter:
The NBCUniversal cable network has ordered a pilot script for the one-hour drama based on the DC Comics franchise.
The project, which hails from Greg Berlanti’s Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television, will count Berlanti (Brothers & Sisters, No Ordinary Family, Green Lantern) as an executive producer.Fringe‘s Andrew Kreisberg, who collaborated with Berlanti on ABC’s Eli Stone, is on board to pen the script and executive produce. DC Comics will also receive an EP credit.
My confidence drops a little when I see that they’re billing it as a drama, but hey: stranger things have worked.
Any Booster Gold fans out there care to comment?
