10 Characters That Need To Be Introduced In Future DC Movies
10. Lobo
Long-rumoured but unlikely to appear in the DCEU any time soon, Lobo would be a shock to the system in the same way that Deadpool was for the Fox's X-Men franchise. And we all know how that turned out, critically and commercially.
Like a cross between the Silver Surfer and Sons of Anarchy, Lobo is a mercenary, a bounty hunter and an intergalactic alien biker. Best known for his later iteration as an antihero that was a parody of dark and gritty antiheroes, so would be the perfect way for the DCEU to make fun of itself and along with The Flash, inject a much-needed sense of humour into the universe.
Giving Lobo his own low-budget movie makes sense as the DCEU is more tuned to darker, more adult films. He would be not seem out of place among the DCEU film currently released, much like Deadpool, or to a less extent Howard the Duck.
Using Lobo as a way to open up the cosmic side of the DCEU would be a smart move- it really rests on getting a bold director and a distinctive director to make Lobo standout. The DCEU really needs a larger-than-life character, and Lobo would be the perfect choice.
