Blue & Gold 🥇

Film 34 of the official Underworld Productions DC Cinematic Universe

In the year 2426, Michael Jon Carter is a nobody who dreams of being remembered. Unbeknownst to him, those dreams are shaped by Dr. Destiny, a prophet who has foreseen that Michael is to destroy him. Destiny manipulates Michael’s sleep, guiding him to the Hall of Destiny, where a trap awaits. To get away, Michael steals a Skeets-brand time machine and escapes into the past—410 years earlier, to 2016. Free from obscurity, Michael reinvents himself. He builds a suit, creates gadgets, and becomes Booster Gold. Fame explodes: brand deals, movies, even a charity fun run with Beast Boy and Cyborg. But Ted Kord, the original Blue Beetle, is suspicious. With encouragement from Jaime Reyes, Ted investigates. Confronted, Michael breaks down. He admits he’s a fraud, terrified to sleep because Dr. Destiny now hunts him through dreams. Destiny can manipulate prophecy—except one: Michael being his end. With the Skeets machine broken, Ted agrees to help. Their search leads to Rose Walker, a Dreamwalker, who guides them into the dream world. There, they beg Dream— the Sandman—for help. Though he once banished Destiny, Dream intervenes. In 2426, Dream and Destiny clash while Ted and Michael secure a new time machine. Destiny strikes, killing Michael in the dream realm—but Dream reignites his mind. Given one last chance, Michael faces Destiny not as a fraud, but as a hero—and wins. Offered a choice, Michael chooses 2016, walking forward beside Ted Kord, finally earning the name Booster Gold.
