TELEVISION: Booster Gold and Blue Beetle cast in Smallville

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Eric Martsolf (Days of Our Lives) has been hired to play Booster Gold in an upcoming episode of Smallville titled “Booster”.  Joining the hero from the future will be Jaren Brandt Bartlett as Jaime Reyes, the Blue Beetle. Add to this news the rumor that Ted Kord will make an appearance in the episode as well.   Geoff Johns, who is writing the episode, says Kord will be played by Sebastian Spence.

It’s really too bad, Warner Bros., DC, and the CW waited until the final two season to start rolling out other DC characters.  Had they done this eight years ago, we might already have a Justice League movie in theaters.

REVIEW: Booster Gold #39

Or – “Why You Should Never Believe The Solicitations…”

From DC Comics previews of this issue:  “Forced to face the reality that his best friend Ted Kord is never coming back from the dead, Booster Gold withdraws from reality by running home to his original time and place. Unfortunately, once home, he’s arrested for the theft of the Time Sphere that allowed him to become Booster Gold in the first place!”  Everybody got that? 

Good, now forget it, ‘cuz that doesn’t happen in this issue.
