I don't think that he dated Cameron Chase, wasn't it Firehawk or something? Poor guy hasn't had a real onpanel romance unless you include Ted. Which many do. ;) <BR/><BR/>After all Batman/Booster have been through over the years I loved seeing Batman show him such respect again. It's a nice nod to when he joined JLI, the handshake, the smile and words of approval. It even has an Omac Project moment:<BR/><BR/>"He'd have to admit he was wrong first."<BR/><BR/>"You proved me wrong." Great stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-14585338119982561002008-07-14T21:57:00.000-05:002008-07-14T21:57:00.000-05:00Beret Skeets and Keepitunderwraps Bats are cool.Beret Skeets and Keepitunderwraps Bats are cool.MaGnUshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351888054411049033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-2398176191310596712008-07-14T10:03:00.000-05:002008-07-14T10:03:00.000-05:00I've always thought it was a little convenient tha...I've always thought it was a little convenient that Booster and Rip looked so alike. In Booster's original series, Rip was an employee of BGI and I remember having a hard time telling them apart when in civvies. It wasn't until 52 that Rip got the hair color makeover.<BR/><BR/>And my money is on Bea being Rip's mother...there seemed to be an underlying connection there the last few years.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-76049589346880321002008-07-14T09:05:00.000-05:002008-07-14T09:05:00.000-05:00I didn't think that was how the Atom was going to ...I didn't think that was how the Atom was going to end either.<BR/><BR/>It would be nice if Didio would correct his mistakes, and undo all those dreadful OYL changes...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-5777072326927753392008-07-13T04:11:00.000-05:002008-07-13T04:11:00.000-05:00Arm-Fall-Off-Boy showed up again?

He has good reason to conceal his identity, and I have to give him this much: I never suspected for a second that he was a Carter.<BR/><BR/>And yes, gotta love how Geoff Johns inserted a minor, apparently inconsequential detail (the retconned-in photos) that Booster's future eventually hinged on. That's a terrific example of the writer being 100% fair with the reader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-24290794088426417582008-07-12T13:05:00.000-05:002008-07-12T13:05:00.000-05:00For Booster's mom?

Well, the only currently recurring DC character he's been known to date was Cameron Chase, but I could be wrong.<BR/><BR/>I think it might be more fun to pair him up with someone from the Legion Of Superheroes.
