The character first appeared in June 1983, created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, Lobo was an alien who works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. He later had a huge resurgence as an anti-hero biker in the 1990’s. Which incarnation will be featured in the big screen adaptation? Variety describes a film version which is closer to the incarnation popularized in the 1990’s: “a seven-foot tall, blue-skinned, indestructible and heavily muscled anti-hero who drives a pimped out motorcycle, lands on Earth in search of four fugitives who are bent on wreaking havoc,” and “teams with a small town teenaged girl to stop the creatures.”

i think it would be cooler though if they diddent go with the whole visting earth thing, and just have a compleate outer space boutny hunter movie.its fun to looks through the marvel or DC files and see what characters would make the best movies.

Who is gonna play Lobo? That's the question...I would like to see someone like Sean Penn, but it will likely be an English actor...somehow, I think this could be along the bizarreness of The Fifth Element...
It could be a total, straight to cable crash and burn, or a total hit...we'll see.

If they put in his back story i'm there, so funny, I still have the first three issues. I'd think a horror director would be more suitable but who knows.

This has potential. Guy Ritchie isn't the best director but he's not the worst either. Can't call this one until production really starts though.

Well, Sherlock Holmes is going to be about the worst movie ever, so maybe this one has a chance.
