Really hoping Booster shows up as DLC, partially for survival's sake. Fortunately, Ra's Al Ghul isn't in Injustice 2, so I can't wait to see him get what he deserves. Edit: Push El Burrito posted:I'm not sure who you're referring to because the Booster Gold/Blue Beetle friendship has always been one of the best things DC had. I just remembered how Booster Gold trying to outright murder Batman was one of the biggest highlights of the whole Infinite Crisis event.

Not mentioned on there, but there's a great scene in Elseworlds: Act of God between the two. It's a story where all the superheroes and villains just suddenly lose their powers one day with no explanation. During a League meeting, it's mentioned that only the tech-based heroes will be of any use at this point, which leads to Booster and Beetle high-fiving while Plastic Man angrily calls them a couple of clowns.

Lurdiak posted:Doesn't Superman like die almost immediately trying to save people without his powers? Like in some kinda Batman-worshipping fanfic? But yeah, Act of God is an insane Batman-worshiping fanfic, with J'onn and Clark basically saying at the end how much more awesomer Batman was than everyone else since he did everything he did without powers. purple death ray posted:I dunno that sounds like something Superman would do. He wouldn't be able to just stop saving people. Believe me, I could get into a whole long review/analysis thing about Act of God since it's my least favorite comic pretty much ever, but this isn't the thread for that.

And it's still head and shoulders above the Marvel version of the story where Scarlet Witch said "No more powers." Lurdiak posted:Doesn't Superman like die almost immediately trying to save people without his powers? Like in some kinda Batman-worshipping fanfic? He immediately gets washed up in a tidal wave while screaming about how he's never felt SUCH PAIN! But he survives to the end and has a kid with Wonder Woman. I think the only guys to die were Kyle Rayner, Steel and... forgot the third.

Wouldn't that apply to Superman, too? He's not actually superpowered, he's just a regular Kryptonian, it's just that all Kryptonians are awesome when on Earth, right? Although I recognize that depowering people like Flash and Black Canary and leaving Superman/Supergirl fine wouldn't really work. Edit: Wait, why would Green Lantern be depowered? He's not superpowered himself, he just has a device that provides him with access to Lantern abilities, it's basically just a super-cool space utility belt, right? If he loses it or it runs out of juice he's just a dude.

Infinitum posted:As someone who doesn't read a lot of DC, why would this be terrifying? Booster Gold has future technology that lets him duplicate Superman's power set (strength, flight, invulnerability, laser blasts) and, more importantly, time travel technology. Plastic Man is an immortal, indestructible shape-shifter. In the "normal" DC universe, Booster is considered a fame-obsessed idiot who chases endorsements and Plastic Man is like a living Looney Tunes character. In the Injustice universe, Plastic Man just managed to break into Superman's supermax prison to save his son and Booster may have a major axe to grind now that his best friend has been murdered. Booster is cool and watching the JLU episode: "The Greatest Story Never Told" should be mandatory in BSS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w1qE0JHfFk tom bob-ombadil fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Jun 15, 2017 |
