While we are waiting for an official word on a potential Lobo standalone movie, an announcement has made its way online revealing the character's arrival in a live-action small-screen venture.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Krypton Season 2 is set to introduce Lobo. It won't be a cameo or an insignificant couple-of-episode-long appearance. Rather, he is going to be the upcoming season's big baddie.
Casting for the fan-favorite DC Comics bounty hunter in the Syfy series has not been announced yet. But whoever lands the role will be the first to play him in live-action media. The character has showed up in a number of animated movies and television shows but never in a live-action venture produced by Warner Bros.
In the last 15 years or so, the studio has made numerous failed attempts to make a Lobo standalone movie. Directors like Guy Ritchie and Brad Peyton and actors like Will Smith and Dwayne Johnson were involved with different versions of the project. According to a recent report, the studio is currently pursuing Transformers director Michael Bay to direct a movie centering on the Czarnian character from a script penned by Wonder Woman scribe Jason Fuchs.

Apart from The Main Man, the Syfy series will also mark the arrival of Nightwing (not Dick Grayson) and Flamebird. The duo is a pair of Kryptonian gods that have inspired several superhero teams. Brainiac's return and further exploration of his origins have also been confirmed. And there's going to be more to know about Doomsday in Krypton Season 2. Check out the following tweets!
