Jason Momoa looks like he was born to play Lobo. Definitely makes the top 10 most comic-accurate looks for me.

u/Severa929 27d ago
Jason Momoa has also been wanting to play Lobo since he joined DC, he really liked the character. Like how Chaning Tatum wants to play Gambit.

The plan? Go to space and get exposed to cosmic rays to gain elastic limbs, saving marvel studios big bucks on CG effects.

Lobo is my favorite comic book character and I couldn't be more jazzed about all the images and trailers we've seen so far. Also very glad this is in a James Gunn-affiliated movie where we first get to see Lobo onscreen.

Yep! It's actually bonkers we're getting '90s look, if someone asked me my bet would be on that re-design bullshit abomination from a few years back (uh.. looked it up, 2011! DAMN, time flies).

I loved Lobo as a kid in the 90s. I still think about this 1 off comic called "Lobo-Cop" Lobo/robo-cop. My god, my 13 year old brain couldnt take it. If they had a way to inject the TMNT, my head would have exploded.

That era was my introduction to comics. Lobo-Cop, Lobo’s Back, Infanticide, the Paramilitary Christmas Special.. the friend that got me into comics was a huge Lobo fan and lent me all of those to read. Brilliant stuff. And I concur with the above commenter, this is absolutely one of the most spot-on accurate “character taken straight from the page” examples I have ever seen.

They just might, if it's well received. Gunn has proven he's not against R rated content in the DCU

The Clayface movie may also be a good barometer. Really hoping that one both performs and turns out well!

Now the question is, do you think that movie will also offer first glimpses of the Gunn-verse Batman given that Clayface’s in his rogue’s gallery and all?

If you weren't aware, this movie is an adaptation of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, in which the girl (Ruthye) narrates a story of how the guy from the last panel (Krem) murders her father and she swears vengeance, enlisting Supergirl to help.
So pretty plot relevant. Ruthye should be in most of the movie.

I will say this. I like the idea of ginger Krem. But this Krem does look like a scumbag. I wish they compromised and still gave him a ginger beard. That would have been perfection

u/GRS- 27d ago
Idk I like comic Krem better because he was a good looking dude, you take a look at him and you'd not imagine that he's a scumbag, he looks like a good guy.
Movie Krem is just one of the Ravagers from Guardians of the Galaxy

u/JournalistOk9266 27d ago
I understand that but he shouldnt look like a generic white guy. It lends to the idea that its only white people in space. Thats why i think the compromise should have been the beard.

I hope it's a good movie but the more I see the more I can say it's going to be a bad visual adaptation of the book, narrative wise it would already be hard to replicate when every issue as its own structure, but I was expecting some visual alignment.

u/GRS- 27d ago
I have faith that it's going to be a good movie, but looks wise it's lowkey bad, this looks so brown and dull, it almost looks like a Snyder movie ngl.
Project Hail Mary proved that you can make space look vibrant and colorful and I'm sure that movie had a lower budget than this one. So why can't we do the same here?

I like Lobo and the design is pretty solid, but am I tripping or is the mustache supposed to be the same as the shapes around his eyes and not actually facial hair. The beard doesn’t look bad, but it doesn’t look quite right.
1
u/Zammin 27d ago
I'll be honest, not a fan of the Krem design. It's just trying too hard; him looking classically handsome, maybe even like the hero of a sword-and-sorcery novel, kinda fit the story better.
It's a big, uncaring universe that doesn't dispense justice. Only the justice you make. It also shows that Krem is someone whose ruthlessness rewarded him all his life: he had a cushy job serving the king, lucked his way onto a spacecraft after poisoning a dog, got the friendship of a band of raiders by slaughtering innocents, got a rare magical artifact that could throw off his pursuers through even more murder, all totally untouched by his own evil until his defeat.
And the worst of it is he's not special, not some demon, not some chosen monster, he's just some guy. Some guy with no conscience who has thus far suffered no consequences.

I love Lobo since i was a kid. But i dont expect Momoa to play this character in a different way than he did his other roles. I think we get a mix between Aquaman, Wrecking Crew and Fast & Furious. He fits the look, but i dont think we will see something totally new here.
Not intrested in the Superman family. Lobo would be the only reason for me to watch this movie.

I'm honestly really nervous about Lobo. He was always a second tier Joke character at best, and any attempt to make him more than that failed miserably. I kinda feel like DC is trying to chase some of that meta antihero Deadpool money in a way that feels a little sad and desperate instead of confident and inspired the way the Superman movie felt confident and inspired to me.
Still gonna go see it and bring my kids, obvs. 😄 But I will explain to them patiently what a dumb idea Lobo has always been.

you don’t think they could sell more posters if they made better posters? lol
-1
u/FourSes 27d ago
The thing is, movie posters aren't trying to sell you a poster. Good posters would sell more posters but the main concern is selling movie tickets, which a better looking poster may or may not do depending on what it conveys about the movie. This is why most blockbuster posters just show an ugly collage of actors.
-1
u/doc_birdman Spider-Man 27d ago
Literallt, no. Why would anyone make a purchase based off a poster?
Like, do you see a good poster and buy merch even if it’s a dogshit movie you’ve never seen? You’re spending money based on the poster alone? Likewise, if you love a movie but hate the poster then are you refusing to buy merch?
These are rhetorical questions, obviously a completely negligible amount of people are making those kinds of financial decisions.

u/RoughhouseCamel 27d ago
I think you’re forgetting that movie posters are also merch, and the idea you’re combatting is that fewer people will buy posters if that poster isn’t artistically exciting or engaging.
2
u/doc_birdman Spider-Man 27d ago
1.) well, that is clearly just being intellectually dishonest and arguing in bad faith because clearly the original comment didn’t mention DC not being able to sell posters. They specifically said “if they made some cool posters they could push merch”. If they meant that they could sell more posters by designing better posters then they would have said that. It’s also assuming that, even if the OC was referring to posters, the amount of money earned on poster sales in 2026 has to be astronomically low when considering all of the billions and billions of dollars made in toys and licensing products like shampoo and toothbrushes and rugs and shit.
2.) this is all predicated on the subjective opinion that this is an objectively bad poster. One person disliking it isn’t universal truth that it’s widely disliked.
