Well, I decided to take advantage of the recognition my blog has been getting. I lined up this interview here with the man himself, Booster Gold.

Thom: Greetings Booster, it’s great to see you managed to elude death. I admit, DC had me pretty peeved with that bit.

Booster Gold: Well, it was pretty hush hush. It’s all about the reveal. And it sure beat getting incinerated or, you know…shot in the head.

Thom: Yeah, that must have been a tough time for you.

Booster: Well, you know, Ted and I go way back.

Thom:All the way to the Justice League?

Booster: Yeah. Man, those were some great days. When I first joined, I was nervous. I mean, Jon, Dinah and Bats are all pretty intimidating types. They had all those years of experience on me and noone was sure if they could rely on me. But Ted stepped up to the plate. Sure, there were some embarrassing moments-

Thom:The Kooey Kooey Kooey debacle?

Booster: Uh…yeah. Anyways-

Thom: That was the time you and Beetle set up on a casino resort on an island that was alive, right?

Booster: Um…yeah, really, you don’t have to say any-

Thom:Cost the Justice league thousands of dollars, right?

Booster: Really…you know, you promised you wouldn’t bring that up.

Thom: I did?

Booster: Yeah. It’s in this contract you signed.

Thom: Can I see that?

Booster: Sure.

Thom: Huh. I also promised not to bring up Super Buddies and Your marriage to Gladys?

Booster: Yeah.

Thom: Man that was stupid of me. I guess I will have to wing it now, because, frankly, most of my questions relate to those three things.

Booster: Gee, great.

Thom: Well, how did the fake death thing impact your regular life?

Booster: Well, one of the tough parts was explaining to my wife Gladys that I was not actually dead. That it was faked. Apparently as soon as she heard the news, she put a stop on all my credit cards and bank accounts. That really sucked. But thank God for endorsement deals. And being able to claim I was dead but am now back in the game? Wonders for potential endorsements.

Thom: You know, I heard a rumor that your marriage was ret-conned out after Infinite Crisis.

Booster: Really? Noone told me. So I could have gone on that date with Jessica Simpson afterall? Damn.

Thom: Yeah. Speaking of Infinite Crisis, you seemed pretty determined to make good on Beetle’s legacy. To be a real hero. What happened?

Booster: Well, I had gotten out of the public eye…then we tried the Super Buddies thing. That really got Beetle and me thinking about what we had become. It was like…we used to be respected, now noone took us seriously. I got some calls from Ted and then, suddenly, he’s dead. But getting back in the hero game meant I needed money…so I was able to swing some endorsements and then…well, it snowballed from there. But then Rip Hunter came into the picture.

Thom: How was it playing the noble hero as Supernova?

Booster: Pretty damn cool. Plus, I got to hang out and use Kryptonian tech. “Eat Phantom Zone, Skeets!!!”

Thom:And he did…

Booster: Yeah…I can’t say Rip and I really saw that coming. But, hey, sometimes things don’t go quite as expected, you know?

Thom: Man…that would have been a great segue to Kooey Kooey Kooey. You sure we can’t talk more about that?

Booster: Yes.

Thom: Well, looks like we are out of time. Any last words?

Booster: I am officially single now. You wouldn’t happen to have Mary Marvel’s #, would you? Maybe Power Girl? I lost all my contact info since Max went crazy and WW had to snap his neck. Dark times…dark times.
