The Tracking Board is reporting that Warner Bros. Are planning to develop a feature film using Booster Gold and Blue Beetle as the leads. They are confirming that Greg Berlanti, will be helming the project and executive producing. Greg Berlanti is the man behind the Arrow and The Flash TV shows on The CW. Heroic Hollywood also added to the breaking news by reporting that Marvel super writer Zak Penn, is being lured away from Marvel Studios to pen the script for the team up film.

Developing a Booster Gold and Blue Beetle film seems like WB is trying to take a step away from its usual serious tones. To me I could see maybe the studio going for a more family friendly light hearted film like Guardians of the Galaxy.

When Legends of Tomorrow was first announced to involve Rip Hunter I was excited at the prospect of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle joing the cast. This is one of the few I’m actually excited about and hopefully it comes to fruition.

Not too long ago it was revealed that a Booster Gold television show was in the works. Last word on the series was that Kreisberg was planning on handing in the script for the pilot that will appear on SyFy. Kriesberg, while discussing The CW’s Arrow, has revealed that he will start working on the show before Christmas.

“I got a little waylaid by Arrow. Booster Gold is going in the next couple weeks before Christmas. We’ll see what happens from there. It’s such a different project even though they’re both DC Comics properties. Booster is much more candy and popcorn, being about time travel and changing the future and being a superhero who can fly. But they’re both super-fun projects. As a lifelong DC Comics fan, I am beyond blessed to be working on these projects with all these amazing characters.”

While not revealing that there isn’t much progress on the series, he does reveal that it is still alive. There’s no casting news but last we heard we could expect to see a good number of the character from Booster Gold’s comics. Could that possibly include Ted Kord aka The Blue Beetle? One can only hope.
