Wasn't there talk of a Booster Gold and Blue Beetle movie a few years ago? I wonder how far into development it got before being put on the back burner along with Spielberg's Blackhawk and other movies announced but never produced. Maybe a HBO Max series might be a better choice for the property anyway, we'll see if the project gets another chance on that platform.
With the way things are going now, everything might happen. Heard possibilities:
ReplyDelete* Diggle as G.L. - the last one after the rest were killed.
*Supergirl's last season & episode: she moves to the future to live with Mon-el.
* Michael K. comes back as a parallel Earth's Batman, possibly with Nick Cage as that same Earth's Superman.
* After movie Flashpoint, Barry goes back to his own time but comes across a number of parallel time lines in doing so.
* A new Lex Luther from a new Earth where he's black. ( if Jimmy can do it, so can anyone else.)
And much more to come as people come and go.
I was really looking forward to a Blackhawk movie. Sadly, I don't think we'll ever get one. Such a shame since the characters were once very popular. And there was never any recognition of their 75th anniversary.

If you're not aware, they did do a serial you might still be able to find.
So, Booster is going to succeed where Kang and Immortus have failed?
ReplyDeleteHow insidious!
On the other hand, this would make a great part five when linked with the other four time travel-related covers you did last week.
Starfox of Titan is going to get ret-conned? Into what; a vulpine video game anti-hero?
ReplyDelete;-)
If either of those shows -- Blue & Gold or Blackhawks -- goes into a second season, that might be enough to get me to subscribe to HBO Max. The Blackhawk series in particular could bring me in if it had guest appearances from DC's other WWII heroes (Easy Company, Haunted Tank, GI Robot, Creature Commandos, etc.).
ReplyDelete@Tobor: Diggle as a GL is all but confirmed; I hadn't heard about the "last one" part. Supergirl is indeed going into its last season, though that resolution is one I hadn't heard about. Keaton coming back as Batman is confirmed, though that's expected for Flashpoint; Nic Cage, on the other hand, is no more than a rumor. The Flashpoint description is all but confirmed. And I have no idea about Luthor, except that John Cryer will be around but a parallel-Earth Luthor will be the main villain (there have been unconfirmed rumors of Michael Rosenbaum as a special-guest Luthor).
@Cary: And what if we were to find out that the Time Trapper has been responsible for it all? That would be pretty epic.
ReplyDeletePlaying both ends against the middle, you mean? Yeah, that would definitely be typical of him.
ReplyDelete@jlbgriggs2 & det_Tobor:
ReplyDeleteI found a YouTube playlist with the 1952 Blackhawk movie serial. The episodes are in the wrong order, though.

And, for those who can't stand numerically disordered serial chapters, you can try and find solace with "Sky Marshal & The World Of Tomorrow," starring Jude Law (as Capt. Joe Sullivan) and Gwynneth Paltrow (as intrepid reporter Polly Perkins).*
ReplyDelete*Paternal grandparents of Chloe Sullivan, perhaps?

What will the Avengers do when they find out that Booster Gold is yet another version of Kang/Immortus/Pharaoh Rama-Tut/Scarlet Centurion
ReplyDeleteStart doing a karaoke vesion of Britney Spears "You Drive Me Crazy?"
ReplyDeleteDid Booster Gold go to ancient times to take hero lessons from the satyr Philocetes (Disney's Hercules)?
ReplyDeleteTell him to reset the Gold Standard
ReplyDeleteWasn't that the name of Cyrus Gold's "Dummy" company? Or did the Vigilante get that wrong?
