Good book but I found it profoundly stupid that after Rip shot the guy in the knee he says "THE MULTIVERSE DEPENDS ON IT" then later he says to Booster "We must keep the multiverse a secret!". Maybe you should've kept your mouth shut in front of the evil scientist then Rippy.
Could someone who is exceptionally knowledgeable about the DC Universe please post scans of the pages showing the other earths with names for each of the characters? I recognized the Kingdom Come Earth, the Wildstorm Earth, and the Charlton Earth, but there were other ones I didn't understand. I also didn't notice the Carrie Robin at all. Which Earth did she appear on?

Not all the Earths were shown in 52.
If you go by the theory that the card numbers on the Booster Gold cover = what world the character on the card is from, which would make sense what with Earth 2 Batman and Robin and Supernova being from Earth 9, then Carrie Robin is from Earth 7

Earth Two is similar to the original Earth 2, with what appears to be a redisigned Infinity Inc, along with the original JSofA. (Or even just a new version of the JSofA altogether)
Earth Three is your Crime Syndicate of America earth
Earth Four is the Charlton Earth
Earth Five is the Fawcett Earth (Earth S)
Earth Ten features the Freedom Fighters, and a world where the Nazi's won WWII (Earth X)

Carrie's on the front of Booster Gold #1, available for viewing over at Wizard.
Earth 17- Home of the Atomic Knights from Strange Adventures.
Earth 3- CSA Earth, with Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Johnny Quick, Power Ring, and an unknown Martian Manhunter analogue.
Earth 10- Formerly Earth X, where Nazis won World War II, featuring Phantom Lady, Doll Man, Uncle Sam, Black Condor, The Ray, and the Human Bomb, and apparently a Nazi JLA.
Earth 5- Formerly Earth S, featuring Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr, Mary Marvel, Tawky Tawny, and Mister Atom.
Earth 2- Earth 2, home of the original Justice Society; only difference from New Earth is Helena Wayne is Huntress, and its Kryptonians are missing, being that Power Girl's on New Earth and Kal-L is dead. The Flash's costume's also different, as is Green Lantern's.
Earth 4- Charlton Earth, with Judomaster, Question, Blue Beetle (Dan Garrett), Nightshade, Captain Atom, and Peacemaker.

We can only assume that three-four additional earths will be:
Dark Knight Returns Earth
Tangent Earth
and possibly Earth-C & Earth-C-Minus (Captain Carrot Earths)
A guy over at Newsarama's DC's board, in what might be a celebratory move over the return of the Multiverse, has decided to make a CW blank-banner-like sig available for those who wanna show off which of the 52 Earths he or she like best. Thought I'd bring it to light here for anyone still interested in that kind of thing. I'm also posting one proper example and one 'not-so-proper' example.

So if Earth 50 is Wildstorm, does that mean Booster is going to run into the Midnighter. If so, that's sort of made of win. Midnighter is one of two books I actively read by Wildstorm. Seeing him pop up with a DC mainstay would be pretty amazing.

Origin is the exact same as my Steam, in case you're needing a Support or Assault in BF3.
If there's one great thing about 52 it's the way it seemed to elevate the major characters. Suddenly all these B and C listers became heroes on the scale of the Big 3. It was marvelous to behold. Where most of the other "Big Events" from both companies recently have been about tearing heroes down, this was about making them better; it's why it succeeds where most of the other events fail.
On that note, I need to know when the Booster Gold series starts, so I can buy a million copies.

I agree, but rather than show everyone as a hero as big as 'The Big 3', I think it showed exactly what the heroes were capable of and willing to do to save people, even those that aren't as powerful.

By "scale of", I didn't mean the public reaction to them, or the level of their powers, but the scale of their heroism. Ralph Dibny outsmarts the devil, and Booster Gold saves everything; its the kind of self-sacrifice and heroism that's usually limited to these impossible paragons of virtue like Superman. They're portrayed as every bit the heroes the Big Three are.
So while they maybe weren't meant to be made to be as "big" as the Big Three, it was made clear that when the need arises they can be heroes just as grand.

Nah, it really wasn't. Though only reason you would possibly want to read it is very a very small primer on the Uncle Sam and the Freedom FIghters mini, but thats it.
So wait, is Earth-2 the World of Deformed Shoulders or something? Look at Batman in that Booster cover. It's like he's got Yellowjacket's uniform on underneath.
