After seeing the images released this week of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle from the upcoming Smallville episode, I was thinking "why not a Blue and Gold series?"The premise is simple, Jaime Reyes, a normal young man is encounters a mystical scarab that fuses with him. The scarab can manifest a number of powers at its own volition, starting with body armor and going from there. While trying to control it and decides what's next when he encounters Michael Carter - Booster Gold. Michael created the Booster Gold identity, traveled into the past to become a superhero and gain fame and fortune based of his knowledge of future events. I think it would be an unique team-up. While I would love to be Ted Kord to be involved, I think this would be a great show just Jaime and Booster.
Will this happen? I don't know. There was some rumblings about a Smallville spinoff. I've seen several theories, including a Green Arrow series (which would be cool). I guess it would depend on how well the episode does and if Warner Brothers is receptive to the idea. Since they are working on a Wonder Woman and Raven series, I can't see a reason why not do a Blue/Gold show. The only drawback would be the cost of the special effects for Blue Beetle. And it can be done - have you seen the demo they did awhile back? If not, take a look...
Well, that's my $.02. I think it would work and be successful. Especially if Geoff Johns is involved...
