BOOSTER GOLD Film Will Not Be Part of the DC Movie Universe
Well here's some news that seems more positive than not given DC's recent movie outings. io9 is reporting that the announced Booster Gold film will not be part of the DC Movie Universe. Greg Berlanti (who is heading up the project that was initially pitched as a TV series) gives the official word:
"As of right now we have no connective tissue to those worlds. It’d be a separate thing."
This would make sense as Booster Gold is a man from the future who steals a super suit and time machine and travels to our time to be a great hero. Booster Gold is a bit too goofy for how serious the current DC movie universe is anyway, so I think that's best, but he would be great if he were a part of the TV universe!
I'm not sure what to think about this news. I've been a longtime Booster Gold fan, so obviously I'm psyched to see a film being made, but quite frankly, I liked the idea of a CW series a lot more. There's some complexity to the character that I don't think a film really does justice to. Not to mention I think he would be an awesome fit with the shows that are already on The CW.
Let's just hope they don't mess it up.
