In case you're asking who is Brad Peyton? here is his IMDB.


The director of Cat & Dogs 2 and Journey 2 is going to make Lobo... :(

Also I want Superman vs Lobo.

[wenis]

Niiiiiiice, hopefully he's a director who's looking to leave his own mark in movies after doing kid flicks for a bit. This could end well if he has the ambition to do so and having directed Journey 2 he at least has some semblance of action/adventure directing under his belt.

[Penguin]

Interesting, but seeing how DC treats most of its properties aside from Batman... shall wait and see

[Hehateme]

Hope it includes Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny ;)

[Escape Goat]

Who the hell is in charge of DC's movie dept? Lobo? looooool

[ReiGun]

This is what they're doing instead of making Wonder Woman? I can't...

[lunarworks]

Would be nice if it's gritty with lots of black humour. If they treated it sorta like the Hellboy franchise.

Nope, gonna be a CG crapfest full of wacky aliens like Green Lantern was.

[Khezu]

Lobo should stay in the 90's where he belongs.

Dude would never work in live action, or as a solo movie.

The fuck are you doing DC.

They need to find their own Kevin Feige. Somebody to run the show who knows wtf they're doing.

[Router]

JESUS CHRIST DC.

[TheKaeptain]

The greatest comic book character of all-time gets put aside for Lobo. One day someone will make a Flash movie and it will be good. Just wait.

[Stinkles]

"Guys, we've had bad luck with obscure heroes like John Carter of XXXX, Green Lantern, and the more 80s ones, like Punisher and Spawn. We need to find a new direction. What have we got in the catalog?"

[G-Fex]

JESUS CHRIST DC.

JEEZUS Indeed. What the fuck is DC doing?

Oh well at least Nolan isn't anywhere near it.

It won't be about Wally West and it won't be written by Mark Waid, so it will probably suck.

[G-Fex]

At least give us a Doom Patrol movie if you're going for non-mainstream stuff.

[Mister Saturn]

Neat, I never thought I'd see DC give the go ahead for a Lobo movie! Now do Eclipso next!

EDIT: It seems there's been some Lobo planning for a few years now, and also seems I'm the only person interested in the movie. Meh.

[macuser1of5]

I'm guessing R is not happening.

[TheKaeptain]

It won't be about Wally West and it won't be written by Mark Waid, so it will probably suck.

Wally sucks and fan boys need to get over him. He got took out by a guy standing still while holding a sword. There is a reason the comics started selling better when the real FLASH came back.

Good writing and art?

[G-Fex]

Barry Allen is great.

Just watch that live action Flash tv series.

[Count Dookkake]

If this is not R, I hope everyone involved fails miserably.

[LabouredSubterfuge]

All that needs to be said really.

I don't know what you're referring to and don't care. Waid's run on Flash in the 90’s is one of the best in all of comics. Barry's death and Wally's journey to replace him would make a great movie.

Some other clown writers ruining the character later doesn't change a thing.

[TheKaeptain]

It won't be. If they are smart they could take the Hellboy route...

[Count Dookkake]

It won't be. If they are smart they could take the Hellboy route...

The BLADE route exists.

[TheKaeptain]

The BLADE route exists.

I'm trying to be realistic here. This is going to be a CG action fest.

[macuser1of5]

The BLADE route exists.

Opening scene needs to be lobo riding through space with a topless chick in his lap, chick says something smart assy about supes or lobos dick size, lobo tosses chick off bike into nearby star. BOOM.

I like this.

Give it to Carpenter.

[Tobor]

I like this. Give it to Carpenter.

Carpenter in his prime with Kurt Russel as Lobo, Jesus, that would have been a movie. Even with 80's era special effects.

YES!

I'll be surprised if this turns out any good. If they get a good writer, maybe.

He was great in the Superman animated series.

[Mariolee]

What happened to not having another DC film for the next 3 years aside from Man of Steel?

[Parallax]

What the fuck? Who the hell wants the rock as lobo? Stick to black adam

Everyone in this thread will be dead by then.

[Platy]

Journey 2 director with Journey 2 main actor

No way it is going to be rated M right ? =/

There is zero chance of it being rated M since the movie rating system doesn't have an M. ;)

[echoshifting]

Ha ha. Oh wow.

'sall I got

[TUROK]

There was a time when Guy Ritchie was attached to Lobo. That would have been cool.

This director doesn't inspire confidence in the project, but I hope he does well with it.

[Anticitizen One]

WB/DC just randomly picks characters to make movies for (see: Catwoman, Jonah Hex, Constantine, Steel, etc.)

[neorej]

Fuck yes. The Rock can pull this off.
