3) Lobo
DC have been trying to get a Lobo movie going for years (with Guy Ritchie once attached to direct and Dwayne Johnson to star), but it has never gotten out of development hell. Clearly a solo film is not the way to go, then. Instead, maybe they should find a different way of introducing him to audiences. Perhaps as the villain in the next Superman movie?
With the look of Gene Simmons crossed with a biker, Lobo is an interplanetary bounty hunter who gained a huge amount of popularity in the grim n’ gritty period of comics in the 1990s. Which is kind of ironic, as he was originally intended as a parody of the movement.
Just as strong as Superman, Lobo has been known to go toe to toe with the Kryptonian and win. In short, he’s a worthy foe for the hero with lots of spinoff potential.
