In the wake of all that criticism aimed at the very dark and serious Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. are reportedly looking for ways to address that, one of which looks set to be a Booster Gold movie with a much different tone to that and Justice League. According to Birth.Movies.Death, Zack Stentz (whose credits include Thor and the Power Rangers reboot) is currently working on the script, while DC TV overlord Greg Berlanti is producing with an eye to direct. In fact, this news was pretty much confirmed when the writer made a recent appearance on Kevin Smith's "Fatman on Batman" podcast, though we've yet to hear anything official from Warner Bros.

The site adds that Booster Gold being in development, "backs up the whispers I have heard that Warner Bros - and especially Ben Affleck - are very hip to what went wrong with BvS, and that the opportunity exists to fix the larger universe." It seems as if the movie is currently on hold and that it won't be the Blue Beetle team-up we previously heard about, but this one definitely has some potential and will hopefully find a place in the DC Films Universe as Warner Bros. look to lighten this world up a little. For now, we're just going to have to wait and see what happens, so stay tuned.

He wrote last nights flash episode. It was one of the best, especially all the speed force talk. So him writing up Booster Gold doesn't seem crazy.

@Kr08 - But didn't I just read that you think Devin Faraci isn't a reliable source, so wouldn't this news be bullshit?

My pick for Booster Gold is Jake McDorman.
He is really good in Limitless, where he is fantastic as the easy going and nice Brian Finch. Comes across as likeable which would be important for Booster Gold.

really josh power rangers scribe lol he wrote thor and x men first class talk about click bait

MarkJulian - 5/11/2016, 11:57 AM

@P862010 - Those drafts he wrote for X-men and Thor were thrown out. Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman wrote First Class. JMS wrote Thor. Stentz also wrote the first draft of The Avengers, but Joss Whedon said it was crap and threw that out as well.

MarkJulian - 5/11/2016, 11:59 AM

@MarkJulian - The only reason he still received credit on those was due to Writers Guild of America rules.

niceguyeddie - 5/11/2016, 12:23 PM

@MarkJulian - I think you're confusing him for Zak Penn

MarkJulian - 5/11/2016, 12:58 PM

@niceguyeddie - Ah, you're right. Stentz didn't work on Avengers.

Zack Stentz wrote X men: First Class and Thor, so it's great news.

WinterOstritch - 5/11/2016, 11:59 AM

@BaneandDawn - The first draft*

Ha1frican - 5/11/2016, 11:54 AM

Get Berlanti out of here.

muzia221 - 5/11/2016, 11:56 AM

GET A DC TO MAKE THEIR OWN MOVIES FOR ONCE...WB execs ruin DC movies full stop.
Gabriel Macht would be a great booster...!

@muzia221 - Have you read a DC Comic lately? Or looked at their sales numbers? Marvel has over 40% of the market compared to DC's 25%. Dan Didio and Jim Lee are part of the problem and need to be fired ASAP.

muzia221 - 5/11/2016, 12:51 PM

@crawley - it has been a while since I've picked up a comic...they're hard to come by in the UK and i've just had to wait till they release graphic novels of the storylines.

I grew up on DC not marvel...Marvel movies are usually fresh to me, no prior knowledge of backstory...but DC I know about...hence my high standards. They need Goyer or Geoff Johns to be the head of the DC movies decision and give them creative control!!!!!

Brainiac13 - 5/11/2016, 12:53 PM

@crawley

Marvel has twice the No. of books out compared to DC...that's why they have a good share of the Market...hopefully REBIRTH will bring back the readers that the N52 lost..

DENNISsystem - 5/11/2016, 2:10 PM

@crawley - But imagine, A Batman movie written by a Snyder not named Zack and Capullo doing concept art and visual design.......sorry, now I need to see a doctor because this erection is definitely lasting more than 4 hours.
