A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

It's been a rough 24 hours for b-list superheroes. The second season of Wonder Man, which was given the green light in the spring, has been un-renewed, while Marvel and Mahershala Ali seem to have put the final stake in the heart of Blade. Now it's DC's turn to crush the dreams of their fans, as one of their in-development TV series has just been sent to the back-issue bins, permanently.
The new cinematic DC Universe, the brainchild of James Gunn, is just starting out, with an animated series (Creature Commandoes), one live-action series (season 2 of Peacemaker), and two live-action films, in the form of Superman and Supergirl.
Booster Gold will not be moving forward. Creator David Jenkins, the mastermind of Our Flag Means Death, announced the series' cancellation on Threads today, piggybacking off Ali's GQ interview. Says Jenkins, "My Booster Gold won’t be moving forward. Can’t improve on Mahershala’s lovely statement so I’ll just apply it here as well."
Who Is Booster Gold?
Booster Gold, created by Dan Jurgens in 1986, is Michael Jon Carter, an ordinary man from the futuristic 25th century. A night watchman at a museum dedicated to the superheroes of the past, he stole several exhibits, fashioned an outfit, and travelled back in time to the 20th century, where he became the heroic Booster Gold. Although he was initially seeking fame and fortune, he eventually became a genuine hero, serving on the Justice League and becoming fast friends with fellow hero the Blue Beetle.
