Geoff Johns talks to Comic Book Resources about “Booster.” Here are the highlights.
You get to write Booster for an upcoming episode of “Smallville” too, right?
Yeah, I literally just finished the script before Christmas. Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle too.The last couple of seasons, you’ve brought The Legion of Super-Heroes and the Justice Society to “Smallville” in episodes you’ve written. Now it’s Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. You’re just picking off your favorite guys, aren’t you?
Yes. I love the Blue Beetle. We introduced [this version of the character] back during “Infinite Crisis.” I always like the chemistry between him and Booster, so when I was going to do this episode, I wanted to do those two together and I think the story that we came up works really well. It’s very Booster 1.0, meaning he’s in the early stages of his career as a hero — and is pretty self-serving.Can you shed any light on what we’ll see storywise in the Blue Beetle/Booster Gold episode of “Smallville?”
You’ll see Beetle’s origin, Booster first meeting Clark and Lois and maybe a cameo by someone from Kord Industries.
