Even still it's the only reason anyone has for calling Booster by his given name since he's been very firm on just being Booster before.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-27490870956926706662011-05-25T02:14:50.354-07:002011-05-25T02:14:50.354-07:00Ah, Planet Krypton - once Hypertime was kinda shel...Ah, Planet Krypton - once Hypertime was kinda shelved, I assumed none of The Kingdom one-shots were canon any longer.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519816290322068250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-79947460653647251522011-05-24T12:28:40.961-07:002011-05-24T12:28:40.961-07:00I think one was called Planet Krypton, which was o...I think one was called Planet Krypton, which was one of the "Kingdom Come can happen" one shot books that was supposed to take place in current DCU. It was mainly in the POV of one of the waitresses he hires. Booster retires and asks to be called his real name. Later on he calls Batman to investigate the "ghosts."<br /><br />I know another one was in a Superboy issue (I don't know the number) where Linear Man Rip shows up saying Booster and him are silent business partners. The reason for this was that the spot Booster put the building was a link to Hypertime. Although Rip had an image inducer that made him appear like Booster. That was the main reason lots of fans thought he and Booster were going to be the same person before the reveal. He even answers to "Mr. Carter." I don't think they shared any scenes together.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-12536262220240359342011-05-24T11:46:51.145-07:002011-05-24T11:46:51.145-07:00"there were stories that took place in DCU &q..."there were stories that took place in DCU "present" where Booster owned Planet Krypton and Rip was his partner"<br /><br />Really? I've not seen any of these - what titles?

(No problem. :) )<br /><br />I wasn't sure because there were stories that took place in DCU "present" where Booster owned Planet Krypton and Rip was his partner. It was also shown in a Superboy book where Rip revealed he was using Boosters' image as a cover. Jurgens has said Hypertime still exists and mentioned that Rips' been friends with Booster for a while. So I'm not sure if those parts were supposed to be in our DCU.Erin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15663158782066282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056373842046198497.post-44723396973317449112011-05-23T22:21:29.781-07:002011-05-23T22:21:29.781-07:00Really enjoying these articles (and thanks for inc...Really enjoying these articles (and thanks for increasing the font for this old man!)<br /><br />Not sure The Kingdom was ever really canon; Waid's Hypertime was pushed to one side pretty much instantly and with Kingdom Come now taking place on Earth-22, if Booster had retired and set up Planet Krypton I guess it would take place there.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519816290322068250noreply@blogger.com
