"The Greatest Hero You've Never Heard Of!": Booster Gold Appreciation!

[DrNewGod]

Got to say, I miss Booster's original concept, which I view as The Guy Doing The Right Thing For The Wrong Reason. Really, as far as I can tell the recall, he and Vigilante II were DC's first anti-heroes.

It's kinda of embarrasing to ask, but why did Booster had to be treated in Sanctuary?

I didn't follow Booster in Batman's titlem

Y'know, I have read Heroes In Crisis, and I STILL have no idea!!
King writes Booster as a f*****g moron. It's obvious he has NO interest in how he was portrayed in ANY previous story.
He is no a witless moron who screws timelines and is a self-involved, insensitive prick.


It would have been nice if someone had given him an issue of Geoff Johns' run. He might have been able to write the character as someone I recognise then.

yeah, what happened with booster? i saw some previous in bleeding cool where someone who liked like hal committed suicide and booster just smirked. i avoided that like the plague. it was so out of character.

My wish list for 2019 is some sort of redemption for Booster.

Or the very least he gets cleared from Sanctuary.

I'm hoping we get some good media appearances to offset current comic Booster .

Now theres two things I like about HiC. The artwork. And this panel.

Yup. It was just flat out AWFUL.
I was waiting for the big reveal, and it NEVER came. I was thinking, "OK, King's taking this somewhere. A alternate Booster maybe.." but alas.
Tom King's take on Booster is an insult to everyone who made the character great.
Booster had appeared just a couple of months earlier in the Superman books and was Booster! It was a great story which was why I was looking forward to seeing him bounce of Batman again. (I loved the relationship the two had during Geoff Johns' and Dan Jurgens' runs).
Man was I screwed over. If you see those issues in the 50 cent bins, DON'T be tempted!

Hope so as well. Maybe WB will announce a new animated movie that Booster (and Beetle) could guest star in.
