Probably something happens in the Flash movie which reboots everything.

Seriously, the only instance I’ve seen Lobo be mildly entertaining was the Justice League cartoon episode. But not someone I want a whole movie centered around.
Regardless, hard doubt on this. Aquaman was one of their highest selling movies of the past decade. No way they’re going to move Momoa to a role of a character far less people would know about.

James did make GotG though which was unknown to most people and it quickly become one of the best marvel franchises.
I’d rather an unknown than another fucking Batman movie.

Rob Zombie on steroids space biker alien dude who is as about as strong as Superman. Superman vs Lobo on film would be fucking amazing.

I'd be extremely happy with this, if it meant they were killing off the existing DCEU. Otherwise, isn't it a bit idiotic having Momoa playing two completely separate characters in the same universe? Might get just a tad confusing for the casual audience.

Also as Lobo, but the new one.

Another "strong as superman" character?
Does he also have "GrEY MoRALs"?
On the Marvel side, the Eternals film was creative bankruptcy, trying to make movies out of characters no one wants to see or watch. This Lobo shit sounds like some generic and tacky "edgy" superhero shit from a desperate DC.
Just completely devoid of any interest in this. And if they use Aquaman as a different character in the same universe, they deserve to go bankrupt.
DC had its time, now it's time to end.

In the books, Lobo didn't have "grey" morality similar to say Deadpool or what they keep doing with Harley Quinn. He has NO morals. He has a code when it comes to his word and contract but that's it. He's not a super hero, he doesn't save anyone. He kills whoever he's paid to kill. He has a Christmas book where the Easter bunny pays him to kill Santa Claus (which he does). Movies around the character shouldn't have an antagonist in the since of a villain or hero, but be more a mission he was paid to do that gives him grief through our, which is how his books usually go.
However in terms of movies I can't say if that is the road they'd follow. Marvel movies would never do it for sure as they aren't allowed to have moralless characters. DC had twice to do this with Suicide Squad but both times chose to end with the villains being heroic. I assume it's because the lowest common denominator of movie goers expect comic book movies to be super hero movies, thus characters, even evil ones, have to be good because we don't want the audience to feel bad I'm anyway

You can tell you never read Lobo, it's over-the-top bro violence and he takes no prisoners. Do yourself a favour and read some. Art is fantastic too.
Unless of course you prefer My Little Pony and the like.

Being hardcore into comic books IS like being into My Little Pony. Lobo is over-the-top violence like Korn is edgy music for emo teenagers.
Mature people read books.

Make Aquamen do space shit, come back as „Lobo“ after years of space drug and alien hooker abuse.

So you proved my point and never read them, it's not all over-the-top violience. There's nuance to it, stop embarrassing yourself and educate yourself on something before mouthing off. Y'know, like an adult does.
Or just stick your fingersin your ears and say *nyah *nyah* *nyah.
EDIT: As for adults reading books, well there's plenty like Lobo. You're being facetious. Why even be in the thread if it hurts your feelings so?

Of course, I never read Lobo.
There is no requirement that everyone in this thread needs to adore Lobo, like you do.
Maybe Lobo is awesome, maybe the movie could be awesome, and Momoa certainly looks the part. But all of this must come from the context that DC has bombed its movies over and over and that you have to lack some basic sensibilities to still get excited about shit like this.
DC and Marvel fans, at this point, resemble Kingdom Hearts fans.

You're talking out of your arse. I don't even like most DC stuff. However I' check out most and then comment yet you decide to chime in on something you've never spent time on that is vastly different to their usual fare. See what I;m getting at here?
Try some of it in order to form an educated opinion rather than shitting up a thread you know nothing about.
It's that easy.
Adults form opinions on source material. It's crazy shit yet happens. The immature just hop on bandwagons/YouTube videos.
I know which one I'd prefer to be.

Always liked DCAU’s Lobo. A mix of both he’s a lot smarter, and stronger than he looks, and he was voiced by Brad Garrett. But to be honest I think it’s all just perfect casting of Garrett in the role, cuz otherwise I haven’t enjoyed the character since he stopped voicing him.

What are you talking about? I have only been voicing my opinion about how Lobo comes off from my perspective, like another corny "edge" character like Black Adam that turned out to be a dud. You are pretending I am trying to explain his lore or something. Am I supposed to read all his comic books before I say anything about a movie he's gonna be in?
I am just chiming in on a potential movie, and you are spazzing out because you love Lobo and are desperately trying to come off as "adult" (are you insecure about this?). Whatever. This is nothing.

Lobo is better off being a lead character of a episodic series about an intergalactic merc/bounty hunter, than a movie. Maybe even act as a direct parody of The Mandalorian. I can see Gunn green lighting something like that.

Spazzing out? I never watched the cartoon, I collected the original comics which by far pre-dates the animated versions. I somehow doubt his portrayal there was the same but I'm only guessing as they would have been too gruesome/dark at a guess.. Lobo wasn't a "dud" at the time, Niche, sure but he was popular due to his persona and not-give-a-fuck persona.
But you'd know this had you read them. Yet you didn't and have an opinion on a character you don't know.
You're the one "spazzing" out but sticking your neck in where you self-admittedly never bothered to read up on series. Hell even Simon Bisley was involved and Bisley is comic book legend.

What happens when an indomitable force meets an irritating object? That’s what readers find out when Superman runs into Lobo. Think of it like a boy scout joining a biker gang. What will be worse, the damage Lobo causes on his own, or the chaos of trying to stop him? I smell a team-up...

The Lobo comics were more young adult orientated, like it or not. It's fact. He was dumbed down for the cartoon.
Now that's enough of a history lesson for you, try seeking them out yourself. Honestly, they're worth a look, whether we agree with each other or not AFTER you read them. Then come back to me and we can discuss, I have no issue debating someone whose done their homework.

Clearly - very clearly - none of those are the same as one major movie actor playing two completely different lead roles in different movies.

Again, what are you talking about? I don't give a shit about the shitty comics. I haven't said anything about them. You seem to be reading and replying to some comments which don't exist.Spazzing out? I never watched the cartoon, I collected the original comics which by far pre-dates the animated versions.

There are some pretty celebrated and mature comic books with though provoking stories and fleshed out characters that are on par with traditional literature. The fact that it has drawings means nothing of their maturity.
You sound like one of those boomers saying video games can't be art and that mature people watch movies. I'm gonna asume you are giving your opinion from a position of ignorance so I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

You, like the other guy, didn't read what I replied to. He talked about Lobo as this awesome shit and that I probably liked "my little pony". Which is a corny fucking thing to say.
Comic books are 90% of the time written for teenagers. It's the My Little Pony for 15-year-olds. That doesn't mean there aren't some great stories in comic books, but you gotta be self-aware enough to know that your hobby is catered to people who are in high school.
That doesn't mean you can't like it, I don't mind it, I read some comics sometimes too, and most entertainment is aimed at kids first and foremost, but it does mean that you should understand that you aren't exactly reading Crime and Punishment here.
Grown men talking deeply about comic books is like grown men talking deeply about Pokemon. It's cool you enjoy it, but you should know to keep it to yourself because it's a bit creepy to meet people who obsess over alien bikers called Lobo when they are grown men.

I was talking about the movies. Not the comic books. Black Adam was "as strong as superman with grey morals" and it was a complete dud, and I expect the Lobo movie to be similar based on how DC makes movies. That's what I was talking about. Not whatever you replied to.Really? Uh-huh.

You sound insecure and quite frankly very antagonistic, with your honestly bizarre viewpoint. There's nothing wrong with adults enjoying comics. It's a creative medium like any. You are like the one guy that says he only listens to indie bands, whenever music comes up. And there's nothing wrong with Pokemon. It's one of the biggest franchises in the world and it's enjoyed by people of all ages.
PS. I have a copy of Crime and Punishment on a bookshelf in my basement.

Lobo was my teens. I said as much. Now stop getting your panties in a twist.
It was awesome at the time and the idea of a film is fun. Much like any comic book character.
Now either do deep breathes or your kegels.
I was more than polite in my responses.

You said that people should hide it and keep it to themselves. Come on. You know that's condescending and quite frankly yes wrong.
