Syfy Looks To Put Its Fortunes In Gold

Syfy is looking to bring “Booster Gold” to life on the small screen. The network ordered a pilot script for a one-hour drama based on the DC Comics character.

The character has proven popular with television audiences with appearance in the final season of “Smallville,” as well as “Batman: Brave and The Bold” and “Justice League Unlimited.”

The story will center on Booster Gold, a washed-up athlete from the future who travels back to the present in hopes of becoming the greatest super hero of all time. Instead of chasing criminals, however, his main priority is chasing fame and money. But Booster Gold discovers that being a hero takes more than just a megawatt smile, and that the future doesn’t happen without first protecting the present.
