Notes on Booster
Okay, I think is mostly for future reference and I may do an essay about it in the future. I just had to share the sad Booster with everyone :(
This is in the 1,000,000 tie-in. Don't ask, it doesn't make sense. Anyway, this comes after Ted sacrifices himself for the betterment of the timestream, yadda yadda. Booster has just lost his hetero life partner--for good. This is the part where Booster realizes that Ted ain't coming back.
Also, he's just had a run-in with the Royal Flush Gang, who he fought in his first audition to the Justice League (but it turned out Max had rigged the whole thing). Batman demands Booster meet him in the Batcave. And Booster thinks he's going to get yelled at--again. So here's his rant.
Booster: "What do you want, Bruce?"
Batman: "Sorry to interrupt your run-in with Green Lantern and Green Arrow. The reporters are saying they cleaned up "your" mess."
Booster: "Yeah. Yeah, sure. My mess. Like always. I didn't hire them. I never did. That was Max. It was always Max."
Batman: "Sit down."
Booster: "I don't need another lecture. I know I'm an idiot, okay? I know I'm a self-centered moron who's sold himself out ten times over. "I'd trade my best friend for a toothpaste commercial!" Isn't that what you said when I joined the League? I've heard this same speech from you back then. I should hang it up. Go back to my own time and be happy I've got a job as a janitor in some stupid museum. You know what? Maybe you're right. Maybe I will go back. And I'm going to pray to God that I forget every second I've been stuck in the 21st century--"
And then Batman ruins the mood by being sympathetic. Err, as only Batman can be. In any event. I thought that emo Booster was worth sharing ;;b.
