Greg Berlanti, who wrote the screenplay for the critically reviled wannabe-blockbuster "Green Lantern" last summer is setting his sights on another colorful DC superhero: Flashy, image-obsessed future hero Booster Gold.
SyFy has ordered a pilot script penned by Andrew Kreisberg ("Fringe"). TV vet Berlanti will act as producer.

This wouldn't be the first time Gold would fly to TV. The final season of "Smallville" featured a storyline with Eric Martsolf as Gold, and the character was a regular member of Cartoon Network's short-lived "Justice League Unlimited," and a featured character on "Batman: The Brave and the Bold."
Who would you like to see play Booster Gold (on a SyFy budget)?

November 23, 2011 at 9:27PM EST Reply to CommentI WOULD like to see Booster Gold in some incarnation. It's got a lot of upside and is a very funny character with some real potential to surprise you with the character's depth and growth.
That said . . . I want it done right. Being attached to "Greg Berlanti, who wrote the screenplay for the critically reviled wannabe-blockbuster "Green Lantern" last summer" does not really bring my heart aflutter. Maybe he'll be great, however I'm not sure how he warrants bringing another DC property to life based on his recent performance.
If it's done really well, there is potential. It works in the comics and worked on the JLU cartoon. If it's done improperly (too slapstick or too brooding) it will suck. There is a thin line where it could be great. Anything else is probably not worth the time.
