Greg Berlanti, a co-writer on Green Lantern and an executive producer on Brothers & Sisters, No Ordinary Family, and Everwood, will executive produce, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  The pilot script will be written by Andrew Kreisberg, a co-executive producer on Fringe, Warehouse 13, and The Vampire Diaries.  Along with DC Comics, Kresiberg would also receive an executive producer credit on the eventual series.

Booster Gold joins Deadman and The Spectre as a DC property being developed for television.  The would-be Deadman series is in the works for The CW under the watchful eye of Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, while the similarly-themed The Spectre could find a home at Fox.  Earlier this year, NBC ordered a Wonder Woman pilot that went down in infamy, so hopefully these less iconic heroes will have more luck.

On the Marvel side of things, The Incredible Hulk, Punisher, and AKA Jessica Jones are all potential series at various networks.

Created by Dan Jurgens in the 1980's, Booster Gold is a washed up professional athlete from the future who travels back in time to the present with intentions to use his knowledge and abilities for fame and fortune.  Slowly but surely, however, Booster learns some humility and eventually becomes a proper hero, even ending up a member of the Justice League.

The character has made multiple appearances on the popular animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold, voiced by Tom Everett Scott, who you'll remember as Guy "Skitch" Patterson in Tom Hanks' That Thing You Do!  More recently, though, Booster Gold showed up during the tenth season of the long-lived CW series Smallville, where he was played by Eric Martsolf.
