I thought I might as well show the picture. This was after Michelle died and Lex Luthor sent a Booster robot after Superman to kill him off and make Booster look bad. To get his revenge Booster crashes the party Lex throws, tells him that he set Lex up to lose money and steals Lex's date in front of him. Remember this rivalry when you read the Supernova/Lex sections of 52. It makes it a thousand times better and that's saying something.
Who would YOU rather have dinner with? I know I would chose Booster too!
ReplyDeleteRight...dinner.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though Booster doesn't even get her name and their leaving out the door. Even Jurgens seemed to forget Booster was this smooth.
Giffen/DeMatteis took Booster down a notch as a "player" when he was rejected by Catherine Cobert in JLI 8. Before this issue, Booster was pretty good with the ladies. Afterwards... heck, he was rarely seen with a lady for the next 2 decades!
ReplyDeleteI know they take some of the blame for this but in Booster Gold vol. 2 Booster can't even flirt right. Calling someone "sweetcheeks" isn't that smooth. The way women steer clear of him it's amazing that Rip ever came into being.
