When did Booster Gold "come back"?

Will we finally get Midnighter and Batman meeting for the first time? I hope so. That's been one of my most anticipated moments since the beginning of the New 52.
Booster has been in All-Star Western off and on for a while now, since... issue 20? It's how Jonah Hex got to the future, and then back to the old west again.
And yeah, been waiting for an Apollo/Supes and Midnighter/Batman fight and/or meeting for a long time now but DC seemed intent on keeping them apart. Even now it's Apollo and Midnighter and FUTURE Batman and a weird version of Superman (alternate dimension? clone? something else? There has to be some reason for the mask, he's covering every inch of skin so he's hiding something. Or even if he looks just like Clark, he's like, allergic to the sun or something, like Ultraman was. In which case Apollo should be able to hand him his ass on a plate.) not the main continuity versions. Still, better than nothing, i guess.
I am a bit shocked more people have not picked up on the Bleed complete with shiftship in the bottom corner behind them, though. Makes me tend to support this masked Supes being from another dimension.
also, pretty sure that Robin is Damian back from the dead. That, or yet another alternate universe version, the barriers between dimensions are obviously weakening here. I mean, either this takes place partly in Earth 2, or Mr Terrific finds his way back somehow, and then there's the Bleed tear in Forever Evil, and now here with the 'red skies of the apocalypse' clearly being revealed to be the Bleed, which means dimensional barriers are all but non-existent.
edit - come to think of it, if the skies are red, including the moon, does that include the sun? In which case i guess he could be a normal Kryptonian, and maybe even Clark, (though if it was Clark, why mention that Lois is suspicious of his identity in the solicits?) but needs to shield himself due to that. Apollo on the other hand has never been picky about what TYPE of sun he draws his energy from, so he should be fine as long as there is a sun at all. (and he has made do with artificial light before in any case)
