Why are her fists bloody?

Who's butt did she whoop before heading to Space McDonalds and please tell me it's Lobo.

Alternatively, it could be spray paint from painting the "OUT."

They've always been different, though.

In the Silver Age and many media adaptations, not really.

 

[Sawyer]

Noticed that Gunn only named the year, rather than a full date. Wonder if they’re really considering moving this one into May.

Regarding Lobo in this and future DC projects…

How hard do you think they should go with his origin? As I remember it, he killed EVERYONE on his planet just so he wouldn’t have any rivals. If they are going to make him a full-on villain, then I guess that’s fine. But if he’s going to be an ally/anti-hero, I don’t think that anyone is going to want to root for a guy who literally committed genocide. What are people’s thoughts on this? I’m usually all for sticking to the source material but this aspect of Lobo always just seemed like DC trying too hard to go full edgelord so they could compete with characters like Wolverine. I think they could back off of that a bit.

Lobo was created to mock Wolverine and all that...but the fans loved him and here we are. He was never supposed to be a popular character and Giffen at first didn't like it.

The absurdity is what makes him great.

They didn't change his origins in the DCAU I dont believe.

I posted this in one of the superman threads, but, I would hope Lobo is hired and sent by either Brainiac or Mongul to seek out the last two Kryptonians.
( he finds kara first on some far away planet with a red sun. Shes In a local bar )

He sees she likes to drink and party.
So he plays up to it.

Long story short, they have a drink off, Lobo cheats, and captures her. Taking her to whomever hired him.
Could be brainiac or mongul on warwold.

Think it could change dates too since Gunn only put “Look Out. 2026” but we’ll see.

I think it’s going to be moved up to May 2026. If they move it to mid July 2026 it’s going up against The Odyssey and SM-4.
