It was the first time that Booster ever appeared in an official, licensed capacity outside animation, but it wouldn’t be the last. In the realm of live-action TV, Booster was featured in the Season 10 episode of Smallville, portrayed by Eric Martsolf.

Then, in Legion of Super-Heroes, a janitor dressed as Booster is seen in the 30th century’s Superman Museum - a brief but comics-accurate reference to Michael Jon Carter, who did at one point work an entry-level position in a museum. It was the only time Booster occupied a lead role although, many other installments had him appear in brief cameos. Meanwhile, Episode 7 of Justice League Unlimited, “The Greatest Story Never Told,” focused on Booster’s adventures as he struggles to stop an impending black hole.

It’s discovered later on that this version of Booster also had a past with Ted Kord, further blending comics canon into animation.

B:TBATB episodes like “Time Out for Vengeance” highlighted a budding friendship between him and the third Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes - a younger hero often featured in the show. That last title utilized Booster to a great extent, building on his apparent ineptness as a hero but also giving him chances to do the right thing. Although not in the same ranks as Batman, Wonder Woman and now Aquaman, Booster Gold has managed to maintain a steady string of TV adventures since the 2000s, popping up in places like Justice League Unlimited, Legion of Super-Heroes and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
