Crazy Ass Infinite Crisis Theorizing [SPOILERS INEVITABLE]

Okay, so, Booster Gold, right?

He's from the future, the 25th Century (which isn't as distant as it was in 1986 when he first appeared), to be semi-exact. He was a disgraced football player who stole a bunch of artifacts from the superhero museum was a security guard at, and travelled 500 years to the past to use those artifacts to be a hero and make some money.
One of the items in his arsenal is a Legion of Super-Heroes Flight Ring (which was somehow explained by saying one of them had travelled back in time and forgot their ring or something). Does the current Legion even use flight rings?
Will there even be a 25th C as we've seen Booster's time to be? Or will be a Kamandi World where Apes and Dogs rule?

So what I'm saying is that Booster Gold is now a time anomaly, like the Legion of Super-Villains from the recent Superman/Batman arc and the stuff that was happening in JSA. Will Rip Hunter show up and take Booster away? OR (and as you can tell, this is a big OR) is Booster Gold actually Rip Hunter? Think about it. They both have blond hair parted to the right. They've both travelled through time. Rip Hunter said in the recent JSA/JSA team-up that he's not really Rip Hunter. He's Booster Gold.

Oh boy. That seems just silly enough to work, but it's going to be po-faced and belabored if it's true.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

The best thing for DC to do, in order to really make this Crisis work - have Bob Burden & Grant Morrison tag-team it. UT!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

I would die a happy man if one of DC's big guns went "UT!" JUST ONCE.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

I have gone over the course of a couple of months from "OMG CRISIS II!!1!" to "Uh-oh". DC keep going on in interviews about how continuity reshuffles aren't the point of InfCris but every single one of their writers seems to be doing teases in that direction. It may be time for me to face the horrible truth that I don't actually care about Earth-2. On the other hand I don't like this hott new 'superhero office politics' direction either.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Better that than being too lazy to go to the bathroom.

(Yeah, so?)

But, really, what's next - the Challengers of the Unknown are actually the Injustice League? The Red Tornado is actually a Fembot? Xtreme Wonder Twins?

Things I am looking forward to in the DCU:

Dave Gibbons' Rann/Thanagar Way (would be better if he was pencilling, though)
Superboy dealing with his Luthor genes
Black Canary changing her diet
More Jason Todd drawn by Doug Mahnke (who kicks Jim Lee's ass anyday)
Darwyn Cooke's SOLO and Green Lantern Secret Files
Green Lantern vs. Manhunters!
Dead Robin in Gotham Central
Reading Seven Soldiers in trades
Batman leading the Outsiders

Things I couldn't give a shit about in the DCU:

Donna Troy's Return
Power Girl's origin
Superman/Wonder Woman/Batman not liking each other

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Huk's list sounds about right (tho you forgot DETECTIVE CHIMP!), and I'm looking forward to the Donna Troy thing, if only because of Jose-Luis Garcia Lopez & George Perez on zee art!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Okay, yeah, I can get jazzed for the art. But when I found out Donna Troy was dead, I thought it was the best thing they could have done for the character post-Crisis I.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, but the way she was offed was perfunctory in a grandiose way. Winick totally pulled a Johns w/ the captions in that Graduation Day mini while the SuperBot beat the snot out of her. "She is ... A HERO!" *CLALANG* "She is ... AN AMAZON!" *KRAKRACK* "She is ... A TITAN!" *FAPPO*

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

I think she was paid off in character rape dollars.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

But you just know that as soon she comes back, it's back to the "What outrageously shitty costume can we put her in now, despite having had her in possibly the sexiest super-togs ever in the 70s?" treadmill.

who is rip hunter?? i saw an interview where a dc guy was trying to downplay the connection to crisis on infinite earths, although if that's true i don't know why they'd call it "infinite crisis" then

Rip Hunter is Bruce Wayne's porn star name.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

(Or he's a quite bland old 60s DC time traveling character, you take your pick.)

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:41 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, the current Legion Of Super Heroes uses the flight rings. It's such a staple, I don't think any version has ever not had flight rings, though they weren't widely used during the Giffen/Bierbaum era.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

Wait a sec - is the current Legion series taking place @ the same time as other DC shenanigans, or is it set in the FUTURE that is the TODAY of TOMORROW?

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

OMG - The Haunted Tank is going to be THE NEW PARALLAX!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

ALL CRISES (COIE, Zero Hou: Crisis In Time!) OCCUR THROUGHOUT TIME!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:53 (twenty years ago)

Rip Hunter is the Master of Time. He's been around for years and years (or perhaps he's not even been anywhere yet, if he's from the future). I wish I could write up a character precis like I did for Guy Gardner, but I just don't know that much about him, other than that he's blond and parts his hair to the right...just like Booster Gold (and sometimes Animal Man!)!

Okay, so there are indeed Legion Flight Rings in the Future for Booster Gold to pilfer.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:55 (twenty years ago)

Mercifully, the new Mark Waid Legion Of Super Heroes is almost totally unconnected to current DC Continuity.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

For now!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

Oh God, let's just hope that it's forever. It's the only really great thing DC publishes now that Human Target's been cancelled.

From DCUGuide.com:

The world's most renowned scientist in the field of time research, Ripley 'Rip' Hunter is the inventor of several time-travelling devices, including the Time Sphere. His first experiments brought him into contact with the time-lost hero Booster Gold. Later, he formed the Time Masters in an attempt to neutralize Vandal Savage's powerful Illuminati organization. That failed, and ended with Rip being stranded in the age of the Cro-Magnon. Returning to our era under as yet unrevealed circumstances, Rip began a phase of wild adventures, making himself a name and even regularly going back in time and collaborating with heroes of the past (such as Sgt. Rock and the Forgotten Heroes). However, his reckless time-travelling attracted the attention of the Linear Men. After rescuing him from several dangers, the Linear Men invited him to join them, and he has been active with them ever since. His hair turned white and some of his limbs replaced with cybernetic ones (due to the stress the human body experiences from repeated time-travelling), he now calls himself just 'Hunter', and is stationed at the Vanishing Point outside time. The general public believes that Rip Hunter is dead.
In recent years, Rip has been attributed with the discovery of Hypertime, something that put him at odds with his fellow Linear Men, who maintained the importance of a single, linear timeline. Recently, some disembodied brains which appeared to be the Linear Men, driven mad by Brainiac-13, were seen bringing Superman to trial for tampering with the timeline. The trial did not go their way, and the Quintessence judged them insane, eliminating them from existence. It is unclear whether this is the final fate of Rip Hunter.

[Note: Rip's frequent adventures in the past might explain the flashbacks of him being active before his canonical debut, with Sgt. Rock (in the pages of SUICIDE SQUAD) and with the original Forgotten Heroes (in RESURRECTION MAN), something which otherwise would be attributed only to his Silver Age incarnation.]

Rip Hunter was recently seen shepherding the current JSA back to the 50s to make sure their parents danced a slow dance together to "Earth Angel" or something.

In the final issue of Booster Gold (#25, Feb. '88), Booster has run afoul of Earth's heroes after pretending to be a Manhunter so that he could infiltrate their ranks. After the Manhunters were defeated, the heroes aren't buying Booster's story, and he goes to visit Rip Hunter to ask him to send him back to the future (in fact to about 25 years after his time, "things should have cooled down by then"), but Hunter says something like, "No, you're needed here."

One of the items in his arsenal is a Legion of Super-Heroes Flight Ring (which was somehow explained by saying one of them had travelled back in time and forgot their ring or something).

He worked at the Superman museum, and all the stuff he nicked was Superman-related - the flight ring was from when Superboy was in the Legion. Then Crisis happened!

it's an infinite crisis cuz you can be pretty sure batman is never gonna forgive them for it!

― j blount (papa la bas), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 00:49 (twenty years ago)

First of all, Didio's lying. Anyone who's read the last JSA arc knows that. Plus, Rann/Thanagar War. Obviously, it's going to culminate in someone (probably those damn dirty Thanagarians) setting off some sort of doomsday (note the lowercase here) device that will tear open the fabric of DCU reality.

Thanks, Kit! I think the only Booster Gold origin I've seen was the retcon (which probably happened around issue #2 or something). Booster Gold (the series) was advertised in Crisis #10 or #11, so I think that technically he debuted Post-Crisis, but still before the full ramifications of the Crisis were understood. Even by DC, I guess.

Churck, In the first part of the JSA/JSA team-up, Rip Hunter talks about how he's had to obscure his true past to protect himself in the timeline from his enemies. He doesn't say that he's Booster Gold, or even hint towards it, but COME ON, how many blond men can there be in the DCU who part their hair to the right?

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

As trite as this sounds, the biggest (definite) difference will be that it's a setting that keeps going after Watchmen #12 -- it's like what I said about my problems with the Millar-Morrison Swamp Thing, it's easy to shake up or end a status quo, but setting up a satisfying new one is another matter altogether.

SWEET SHADES OF STEVE DITKO!
On Justice League Unlimited tonight "Question Authority" (i think the schedule on YTV in Canada is actually ahead of the US broadcasts), The Question uncovered some Cadmus computer projections regarding Superman and the End of the World and the death of the Flash and more. MIND-BLOWING gestures towards Watchmen (BIG TIME), Suicide Squad, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Kingdom Come, Identity Crisis and quite possibly foreshadowing events to come in the DCU Proper.
I don't know how far in advance the scripts for these shows are written, but they seem to eerily parallel current comic continuity.
There was a scene with Lois telling Supes that public opinion is turning against the Justice League, that they're seen as arrogant and too powerful.
The Question accused Superman of lobotomizing Doomsday with his X-ray vision.
Captain Atom's loyalty was called into question when he was served with orders to report for duty with the Air Force, by General Wade Eiling!!! (GM JLA fans might remember him)

It could just be that I remember past episodes better than they actually were, or the drawing has gotten sloppier and less detailed lately. It's not terrible, and the alarmingly hot storytelling more than made up for it.

If you have planned your super cross over shenans for months then maybe you should have noticed that it is not such a good idea to have Captain Marvel fighting the Spectre and Pat Benatar Eclipso in Budapest in Day of Vengeance while he is simultaneously fighting the Spectre and PBE in Faux-raq in JSA. Presumably one of these storylines will have to end in a damp squib so they can all run off and do the other storyline. What's that all about?

also hello, shouldn't Zatanna be involved in this somehow instead of poncing around in 7 Soldiers - I'm sure it's good and all but basically anyone at all could have been in 7 Soldiers and Zattana is quite central to the whole ID Crisis/Death to Magic goings on at the moment...

― Mark C (Markco), Friday, 10 June 2005 10:01 (twenty years ago)

The way it works is, super hero lives are two days of flurried activity every four or five months. Unless there's an actual crossover to say "this happened between issues 3 and 4 of that", you really can't tell. (though I understand that recent Marvel shenanigans involve them actually taking the time to fuck things up)

You can't see how a punch-up betwixt Cap Marvel and the Spectre couldn't start in Pseudoraq couldn't find its way up through Europe?

A recent suckerpunch of Jay (Golden Age Flash) Garrick by Zoom (Reverse-Flash II) knocked ol' Pie Plate Head from NYC to Dallas. Or vice versa. (interestingly, Jay hasn't been seen since, not in the Flash, nor in JSA--AND NOBODY CARES BUT ME, and even me, not so much).

So typical. Big news always go all the way to Latin-america first!

Methinks that could be too much of a deppressing ending for Batman's career, but if we're talking about its current "intense" and "edgy" incarnation, it would be very dramatic (in a good way) and fitting. I mean, this Batman has become such an unidimensional character you need something this big to add depth.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing the current batman "age" in this way and then bringing one of his past incarnations to fill the slot (shit I'm only about to read the first Infinite Crisis ish, so i don't know what's going on, but I'm assuming IC is here to fuck up continuity and allow stuff like that)

Selina Kyle 'proves to be embarassed' by the death of Batman. That's some cold shit.
