To be fair, though, it's not surprising that WB wanted Peyton to direct another one of their films after how successful Journey 2 was.

Wait so... Lobo gets his own flick before Wonder Woman? Is DC even trying to set up a Justice League?

Journey 2 successful? Lobo is cool but why now? They're focus should be on flash gl and wonderwoman and getting those properties which are relevant for a jla movie. Fail WB you suck. Guarantee this will be a Shitty February release like ghost rider and jona hex

1. It's going to be shit. 2. WB focus on making a Flash or Wonder Woman movie FOR [frick]'S SAKE!

Hmmmm... why do a character like him though? Why not the Flash or WW or someone? Oh well. Hoping for the best... preparing for the worst.

I never understood why companies would want to put their lesser characters onscreen before doing so with the more established recognizable ones, in this case Lobo before Wonder Woman. I'd like to see a live action Lobo, just dont get the strategy.

Does DC have a quota of bad cbms they have to make before they make a good one? QUIT DICKIN AROUND AND MAKE WW OR FLASH.

"Journey 2: The Mysterious Island director Brad Peyton will rewrite and direct Lobo for Warner Bros."

@AlSimmons - agreed. How the [frick] are you going to past over 1 part of the holy trinity of DC characters for Lobo...fail!

As much as I like Lobo, and like my pal IM53 said, he's a badass; he shouldn't get a film before The Flash or WW.

WB is seriously going about it the wrongway. I hope I'm proven wrong, but WW & The Flash deserve justice before anybody else.

This is pathetic WB. DC needs to breakaway from WB

Kevin Durand would be cool Lobo.

Dont kill me if i say that i could see Hugh Jackman as Lobo too.

Yeah....I like Lobo, but as it's been said it's not right for Lobo to get a movie and yet again WW and Flash snubbed.

It's..

Just make sure to make it Rated R, WB.
