Is Lobo evil Aquaman or something? 

[Maf]

No, Lobo is a barbaric, mercenary type from outer space with Wolverine style healing factor and gets his kicks from money and murder (mostly murder)

 

But he’s a “wild man” type character that I think would fit Momoa better

 

In terms of the story, the bad guy in the Supergirl comic was a ruthless space pirate who I can’t remember the name of. Lobo could easily fill that role and is an actual character, so would make sense to swap him in

I found out about Lobo because Toriyama referenced him once in a DB manga.

 

It's probably decent casting but it's a bit like the Downey-as-Doom situation for me were I'd rather have seen someone completely unrelated to this universe be the actor behind the makeup.

I’m torn on the RDJ stuff because narratively it’s a really strong idea but business wise it’s a really bankrupt idea

 

Even though I watched both versions of Justice League I didn’t like either and I never saw the Aqua Man films so I’m fine with this casting. 

[DANGERMAN]

I wonder if he's still under a contract with them or something? I don't get it. I know there's plenty of actors that have appeared in multiple superhero films, but usually its different companies or the original film was years ago and kind of failed (Rhys Ifans is in the new Venom, even though he was in Spiderman films, including the one Venom makes an appearance in)

 

Anyway, my point is, I was going to be looking at it (assuming I watch it) wondering why Aquaman is in it. Assuming they're tied together in some way. I won't be the only person
