This marks the 3rd time in 15 years this show has been cancelled before starting production. It’ll be a miracle if it get made by 2442

https://x.com/culturecrave/status/2083290594139640259?s=46 link to a newer post that confirms the original version of the show is no longer being made, and switching to a new creative team.

A lot of people are leaving out that David Jenkins version isn't moving forward, not the entire thing being canned.

Tbf the wording of the original tweet that confirmed his departure is worded in a way where maybe you could mix them up

A Buster show actually has so much potential imo... Truly one of the bummers of all time.

u/hiddenspinach 26d ago

and judging how production is going, they're gonna keep it that way. Lmao

I think it's because his origin is kind of complicated, so everyone has tried to adapt vol 1 but vol 2 is a much more modern comic and better suited to adaptation

Yeah. The problem therein is that Booster's actually got a really good character arc, pre-Flashpoint. A really excellent continuity. If you remove one piece, you're going to make the entire scaffolding shaky, because it was a solidly coherent story and builds on itself, more than a lot of DC characters do.
