Comic book and television writer, and DC Entertainment‘s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns has recently finished writing an upcoming episode of the CW’s Smallville that features Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes, the third and current Blue Beetle). Check out what Johns had to say about the episode below!

Q: You get to write Booster for an upcoming episode of “Smallville” too, right?

Geoff Johns: Yeah, I literally just finished the script before Christmas. Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle too.

Q: The last couple of seasons, you’ve brought The Legion of Super-Heroes and the Justice Society to “Smallville” in episodes you’ve written. Now it’s Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. You’re just picking off your favorite guys, aren’t you?

Johns: Yes. I love the Blue Beetle. We introduced [this version of the character] back during “Infinite Crisis.” I always like the chemistry between him and Booster, so when I was going to do this episode, I wanted to do those two together and I think the story that we came up works really well. It’s very Booster 1.0, meaning he’s in the early stages of his career as a hero — and is pretty self-serving.

Q: Can you shed any light on what we’ll see story-wise in the Blue Beetle/Booster Gold episode of “Smallville?”

Johns: You’ll see Beetle’s origin, Booster first meeting Clark and Lois and maybe a cameo by someone from Kord Industries.

Smallville returns on January 28, 2011 on the CW at 8/7C.
