Jason Momoa Could Be Lobo And More Big Changes Coming To The New DC Universe

The Hollywood Reporter's article on the DCEU redesign says they have multiple sources saying that James Gunn and Peter Safran are considering directing a "Lobo" movie with Jason Momoa in the lead. If you've ever read this book, you know how fair Momoa is. Lobo is a galactic bounty hunter who looks like Rob Zombie merged with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the entire KISS group in full makeup and costume. He's a hardcore, punk-like anti-hero, and Momoa is pretty much the most perfect actor to play the role.

The upcoming "Flashpoint" movie is supposedly the last time we'll see Zack Snyder's version of your favorite heroes in cameo form, but we'll see how the pitch to the big boss goes. That said, it's clear that Gunn and Safran aren't approaching this new position lightly. If there's anyone who's walked through the trenches and learned how to create a successful comic book shared universe, it's Gunn, and from all the signs we've gotten so far, he's going to bring some drastic changes to the DCEU.

It should be noted that the article says that the Matt Reeves/Robert Pattinson "Batman" movies seem to be left alone for now and we still have the "Joker" sequel in the works. Does this guarantee that these offshoots will continue beyond their current development? I guess time will tell, but it certainly seems like Gunn and Safran are determined to wipe the slate clean for this reboot.
