[b]Wonder Woman Screenwriter Teases DC’s Lobo Movie[/b] Via [url=http://screenrant.com/lobo-movie-script-wonder-woman/]Screenrant[/url] _________________________ [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/qMXeJAr.jpg[/img] With the release of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. officially kicked off the DC Extended Universe—a move that better positions the studio to take on the seat-filling, cinematic comic juggernaut, Marvel. Next in line for DC is the highly anticipated Suicide Squad, which will arrive in theaters in August, followed by Wonder Woman in June 2017. Now, a feature film starring DC Comics’ Lobo may soon be added to the already impressive lineup of DC films. Warner Bros. had originally brought director Brad Peyton (San Andreas) on board to write and direct a Lobo adaption, which focuses on the adventures of the eponymous, un-killable, intergalactic bounty hunter. That project was scrapped, with reports that Wonder Woman screenwriter Jason Fuchs was taking over writing duties for Lobo instead. With no new news on the project’s development since March, Fuchs (whose other credits include Luna Park, Pan, and Ice Age: Continental Drift) has recently broken the silence, teasing his involvement on the film. The writer recently posted a photo to his Instagram account, letting fans know that he is currently turning the pages of the four-issue “Portrait of a Bastich” – a collection of the outlaw’s early issues, in which he learns that neither Hell nor Heaven will have him, rendering him more than immortal.[/quote] Saw it coming a mile away. It was just a matter of time until WB fired back with their Deadpool counterpart.
And then the trailer comes out and it's weird pretty boy New 52 Lobo.

[QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;50474061]And then the trailer comes out and it's weird pretty boy New 52 Lobo.[/QUOTE] I just looked this up. [B][U][I]why[/I][/U][/B]
[QUOTE=Banned?;50474214]I just looked this up. [B][U][I]why[/I][/U][/B][/QUOTE] Pretty much sums all of new 52.
[QUOTE=27X;50474228]Pretty much sums all of new 52.[/QUOTE] There are [I]some[/I] good things in there. But the weird decisions definitely do seem to outweigh the neat ones.
Never really cared for the character but I'm interested in seeing how they do this They're probably going to go for a 'Deadpool in space a la GotG' kind of deal Who knows if it'll pan out
[QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;50474315]There are [I]some[/I] good things in there. But the weird decisions definitely do seem to outweigh the neat ones.[/QUOTE] As far as I know aquaman was the only character to actually come out better on the other side of the new 52.
YES I've wanted a Lobo Movie for a long time
[QUOTE=Ardosos;50474342]As far as I know aquaman was the only character to actually come out better on the other side of the new 52.[/QUOTE] Writing aside, going just by looks, New 52 has some good stuff in there - Darkseid's new design is pretty rad... Katana, the Zero Year Batman with the bow and arrow and dirt bike, the armored Earth 2 Batman, Orion's new design is pretty sleek too... The expanded designs of the Justice Lords and Crime Syndicate. Lots of the Earth 2 stuff is pretty cool, actually. But then on the flip side you've got things like Lobo here, the new T-Shirt wearing Bizarro, Tron Superboy, not personally a fan of Harley's redesign or Scarecrow's new look, Power Girl's new patented anti-sexism-super-suit, etc. I think Lobo might be the only outright offensive one of the bunch though.
[QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;50474460]Power Girl's new patented anti-sexism-super-suit[/QUOTE] what does this even mean.
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;50474524]what does this even mean.[/QUOTE] It's tongue in cheek, not being serious. Referring to the New 52 Earth 2 Power girl which in stark contrast to the classic Power Girl outfit is a full body affair and I don't care for the design. :v:
[QUOTE=Ardosos;50474342]As far as I know aquaman was the only character to actually come out better on the other side of the new 52.[/QUOTE] Animal Man Swamp Thing(although they were both good before hand, they just came out even better after) Wonder Woman(Best run since Rucka but definately different) [editline]8th June 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Pretty Obscure;50474554]It's tongue in cheek, not being serious.

All aboard the Rebirth train, choo choo.
Shame that The Jason Mamoa won't be playing him.
For those who may or may not remember it, a fan-made short was made back in '02. [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuRIJA7KyHE[/hd] THIS is the tone the movie must have. And THAT is the Lobo that should be portrayed, not the impostor that passes for Lobo these days. [editline]7th June 2016[/editline] With the right approach, it could absolutely make Deadpool look like a Care Bears movie, and a lot funnier.
[QUOTE=Banned?;50474214]I just looked this up. [B][U][I]why[/I][/U][/B][/QUOTE] DC exes saw the "success" of Watchman and the darker Nolan Batman films and decided the comics needed to be more like them. So they took Geoff Johns' one off event Flashpoint and inserted characters to remake the universe to their standards.

Power Girl without a boob window is barely even Power Girl.
