Batman writer Tom King has teased he aims to put the time-traveling Booster Gold at the forefront of the DC Universe in an unannounced project.
“The goal is to put Booster at the center of the DCU. To give him the popularity and respect he deserves as a character,” he tweeted in response to fan questions about the hero’s current appearance in DC’s Batman. “To accomplish this goal, he will be stretched to his limits and he might break. But it’s all in service to the character and the story, I swear.”

When pressed whether he planned to write more Booster Gold once he’s finished with his Mister Miracle series with artist Mitch Gerads, King revealed his next work with the character has already been written and is currently being drawn by an unannounced artist.

The Eisner Award-winning writer and artist Tony Daniel are teaming Booster with the Dark Knight and Catwoman in a story arc appropriately titled “The Travelers.” The storyline began in Batman #45 with Booster Gold leading Batman and Catwoman on an adventure through their own history to rescue an younger incarnation of Booster … from himself.
The three-part “Travelers” ends with Batman #47, released this week by DC.
