Syfy orders Script for DC Comic Book 'Booster Gold'

Syfy takes a dip in the DC Universe to possibly give us a Booster Gold series. The Hollywood Reporter has more on this story:

The story will center on Booster Gold, a washed-up athlete from the future who travels back to the present in hopes of becoming the greatest super hero of all time. Instead of chasing criminals, however, his main priority is chasing fame and money. 

But Booster Gold discovers that being a hero takes more than just a megawatt smile, and that the future doesn’t happen without first protecting the present.

The comic book character made an appearance in the 10th and final season of the CW's Smallville, where it gained still more fans.

But will BG draw in viewers? I'm not convinced that B-list heroes can draw huge ratings. But anything is possible I guess.
