Winick does seem to like Booster but it could be more to it. He was involved with CTIC so I think talking over Boosters' character with Johns, and Rucka made it click more. He did say that he was deeply affected by a list of things they decided was important to DCU, one of which was that Batman knows what Booster is capable of. <br /><br />What did he do that was so horrible with Bea? He didn't use her much and yeah she was a little mean to Booster but she's been worse in other books. She was still a pretty cool spy, got a new love interest, still had a strong friendship with Tora and he explored her past/guilt a little.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-4642408355739717672011-05-28T08:49:34.262-07:002011-05-28T08:49:34.262-07:00This is one of the reasons why Winick annoys the p...This is one of the reasons why Winick annoys the piss out of me. He can be so GOOD when he actually wants to be...and yet he can also be so completely terribly bad, when he doesn't care about the characters. <br /><br />Obviously, he likes Booster. He did an excellent job of introducing Gavril and making him a sympathetic character, in fact I LOVE Gavril. He actually made Captain Atom less of a jerk, which is amazing. On the other hand,he did a gawdawful job of it with Bea and Tora. And until they get rid of his idiotic retcon of Tora's origin, I am going to continue to be cranky.<br /><br />But yeah, Booster was pretty fabulous.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.com
