He probably saw this coming: a television series may be in the near future for Booster Gold. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Syfy network has ordered a pilot script based on the DC Comic superhero.
An executive producer behind the project, Greg Berlanti, was also responsible for "No Ordinary Family" for ABC and the "Green Lantern" feature film.
"Fringe"'s Andrew Kreisberg will write the script for the pilot.
Booster's just the latest DC Comics hero looking to break out onto the small screen. In late August, news came down the line that executives at CW had begun developing a series based on Deadman with Eric Kripke at the helm. Weeks later, The Spectre haunted headlines when the world learned that Fox wanted to develop a series with that character and Brandon Camp writing.
With the Marvel Universe experiencing so much success with its inter-connected series of films, it doesn't come as that much of a surprise that DC would venture into a medium of their own, in this case television.
Historically, the character of Booster Gold comes from Gotham City, 400 years in the future. After a fall from football stardom, Booster decides to travel back in time to use his knowledge of history to fake his way to a legendary status as superhero. He went on to eventually join the Justice League.
More recently, the character appeared on the tenth and final season of the long-running superhero series, "Smallville."
