sy-fy needs to get bought by someone that actually gives a decent crap about science fiction and fantasy…not Ghost Hunters and frakkin wrestling. Stargate, Star Trek, Dr Who (old and new), BSG, should be STAPLES there…with room for actual QUALITY programming that fans of this genre can truly get behind and be proud of. If i ever win the BIG lottery, i will make such a channel and keep it far from the reaches of crappy reality tv shows and the WWE. And some billionaire out there needs to buy up all the rights and properties for shows that were cancelled by sy-fy and fox and make new shows!

Awesome! I hoping they don’t mess it up, SyFy have got a bit or a rep for making poor or cheap shows but done right this could be truely Boosterific!

I am so excited for this! I hope it pans out! Although I would prefer the Geoff Johns incarnation, more of a humble hero masquerading as a cocky, self serving, showboating type.

I like the Joel McHale suggestion. Oh, and please cast Billy West as the voice of Skeets. (West played Skeets to perfection on Justice League Unlimited.)

I can see now the cheap approach to this series

Did not see that coming… but it just might work. I have to say I’m looking forward to this. Actually, I’m looking forward to the first time a CGI Skeets says something like, “I’m not sure that’s such a good idea, sir.” The rest will just be sauce for the goose.

Booster Gold has always sucked, ive never read one arch or page where i gave a crap about this character. I do not get the allure of the character whose been written so poorly since his inception.
SyFy series tend to be at least mildly entertaining more often than not so ill give this a try but i would not say i had high hopes.

Yeah. That’s just what a low-grade cable network needs–something to help perpetuate its already useless reputation.

Well, this was exciting for me until I saw SYFY attached.

Eric Martsolf is the only actor who should play Booster. He was absolutely brilliant on that Smallville episode. I would watch every week. Cast Eric Martsolf now!!!

I just hope they go for the full on Skeets and not the headphone one from the Smallvile.

Oh … and Ted Kord.

With the Booster Gold episode from the final season of Smallville being one of the best of the season, I’m glad to hear this. Can we go ahead and cast Eric Martsolf already?

Waiting for the BOOSTER GOLD omnibus to come out. Yet will the WB and DC ever do a live-action epic series evolving around Jack Kirby’s Fourth World characters? After having seen IMMORTALS, it is time.

I used to worship at the altar of the early issues of Boosters second series, please oh please, give me good old mad and sometimes dangerous Rip Hunter (Coke bottles from the fifties, computer processors by Brainiac 5…and of course the closet full of sharp and very pointy things once belonging to dear Marquis de Sade

The best actor to play Booster already has a steady gig on TV, but it’s in danger of cancellation: Joel McHale of Community fame. He looks the part, he’s funny and snarky, a pretty boy and former college football player, and most famous for playing a character who comes across as a smug, egotistical jerk until he reveals that he’s really a stand-up guy deep down.

I am a huge Eric Martsolf fan and loved him as Booster Gold on Smallville!!!!Is he attached to this project??? If so, I am already a fan and committed to the series…..

As long as this is better than the reboot. I’ve been happy with DC’s tv exploits, not so much with their comics these days.

interesting choice for always thought dc would really waste no time doing their characters live action and just either try for another batman show or maybe a jla one but booster proves he works on tv even though one will have to put up with a live version of skeets again .

Johnny Blaze: 80% is batting pretty well, I’d say….I’d take a .800 hitter in my lineup.

The perfect character for a TV series. I’m already having visions of guest appearances by Blue Beetle, Guy Gardner and Mister Miracle.

Haven, Alphas, Sanctuary, Warehouse 13, Eurkea, Stargate, Farscape: all EPIC WINS

Flash Gordon and The Phantom: all colossal failures.

Be careful, SyFy…

I’m not too sure, been burned by syfy before now. Besides booster needs to inhabit a world where he is comparable to superman batman and wonder woman and I doubt that they will get the rights to those. I’m holding my breath, I hope it’s good, if it’s ever produced.

you know from the network that brings me haven, alphas, sanctuary, warehouse 13, etc. i think they have the potential to handle this really well… esspecially if they treat it like smallville in a “figuring out what he’s doing” sort of way. this sounds boosterific. count me in.
