Greg Berlanti directing Booster Gold?

[Panthro]

Maybe Booster's better off not being part of the DCEU.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Keeping this separate is one of the dumbest ideas ever

All DC movies should be connected

 

[CaptainWagner]

I'm really hoping this is just a situation with Shazam where it starts out being disconnected but once progress is made gets brought into the fold. Because keeping this seprate would just be incredibly dumb, especially when Johns is such a big fan.

Harley Quinn spin-off, Batman solo, SS2, Justice League Dark, Booster Gold.
Two spots open for 2018 and 2019.

Where is the rest of this going post 2020?

 

[NotNickFury]

Perhaps a Wonder Woman sequel with her in the modern setting?

Can we PLEASE stop pretending that the DCEU only allows movies to be dark and gritty? How much proof to the contrary do we need until this finally gets dropped?

His goof and camp is perfect for the DCEU. Batman is the perfect straight man for Booster to bounce jokes off.

 

[Panthro]

Maybe they've decided to get really crazy and have two separate DC-Cinematic Universes, one that'll be all dark and depressing and another that'll be lighter and softer. And then they'll get even crazier and mash them together just to be evil.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were just enough to do it.

Dude your mindset died out when it was announced that we were getting a rebooted Batman set in the MOS universe...

Isn't that what the first WW movie is, along with a back story of her being involved with WWI?

The trailer doesn't show anything modern. I think the first WW movie is just WWI backstory with at most a small modern scene at the end (similar to the first Captain America movie).

If the character is written and received well who cares what list they were in the comics. Where was Ant-Man, or GOTG before they actually did a movie for them? The MCU has been going for years and only now is BP getting a movie. I don't know where he fit on a list but he had to be higher than Ant-Man.

Zack Stentz starting his Booster Gold script?

I'm curious as to why Booster Gold was chosen. Not that I'm complaining since I like it when obscure characters get a chance in the limelight but why him over say Blue Beetle (Jaime and Ted), Dr Fate or even a Hawkman/Hawkgirl movie.

 

[ManWithNoName18]

I'd say it's Deadpool's success as a Superhero comedy/parody. Booster Gold isn't as violent as Deadpool, or has the same brand of dark/vulgar humor.

But the guys backstory is he's a loser from the future who goes back in time to try to be a superhero for fame and money. It really lends itself to be in the same vien as Deadpool of Superhero comedy/parody.

 

[Paradox1]

I like idea of it being a like a reality show. That sounds so perfect for booster gold, it would be so funny.

 

[Rorschach2012]

The Wrap said Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes is rumored to appear in this.

I think if it actually gets made it'll be a DCEU project.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I want Jaime in the DCEU, too, but he has no connection to Booster without Ted. I'm going to be super disappointed if he gets left out of this.

In the comics Booster Gold was a mentor to Jaime Reyes. Granted Jaime doesn't have as strong a connection to Booster like Ted does but he does have one.

Anyways I want Jaime on the big screen, a lot of fans do actually! Maybe they'll go the rebirth route?

Probably because Greg Berlanti likes the character and wants to do a movie about him and DC Entertainment/Warner Bros. likes Greg Berlanti and so they are letting him do a movie he wants to do.

He was, but Ant-Man had a well known director who wanted to make a movie about him. And the in story serendipity of being a founding Avenger, although delays ultimately ruined both of those things.

Which is probably also the main reason why Booster Gold is jumping ahead.

I mean. I want Jaime on the big screen, too, but I feel like both he and Booster are better with Ted involved. Plus he's one of my favorite heroes, so I'm a bit biased.

Booster Gold's Screenwriter Is Waiting for WB to Make a Move

Booster Gold
Appearing as a recent guest on The Fanboy Podcast, screenwriter Zack Stentz revealed he’s completed his script for a Booster Gold solo movie and is now waiting to hear back from DC/Warner Bros.

I do not know what’s going on with it right now, honestly. And I don’t know if the DC people know what’s going on with it. Their strategy seems to change depending on how […] most recent movie did. But I can tell you that a script has been turned in that the director and producer, Greg Berlanti, has proclaimed himself to be very happy with. And it’s something that’s ready to go, but DC and Warner Bros. would need to give the greenlight to it. The ball is in their court.

We’ve heard a lot of different things about this project over the last few years but let’s hope with the success of Shazam, WB is finally ready to move forward and give Michael Jon Carter the spotlight.
