\"\"Warner Brothers thinks that\u00a0Lobo\u00a0<\/strong>could do for them what\u00a0Deadpool\u00a0<\/strong>did for Fox–be a genre-breaking, R-Rated box office blockbuster. And they are so serious about bringing him to the big screen they are talking with a director who knows a thing or two about\u00a0genre-breaking, R-Rated box office blockbuster<\/span>s.<\/p>\n

The Wrap<\/a> reports that Michael Bay has met with DC Entertainment about the\u00a0Lobo\u00a0<\/strong>film and has given notes to screenwriter Jason Fuchs towards a rewrite that might compel Bay to come onto the project in a larger role.<\/p>\n

I feel I have to say that this news comes to us from Umberto Gonzalez, the gossipmonger former known as El Mayimbe. We have had issues with El Mayimbe’s accuracy<\/a> in the past, but he has gotten better in that regard as he has moved up the entertainment media food chain.<\/p>\n

Bay’s attachment to the project might cause an angry uproar amongst fans. Bay has a reputation as an Uwe Boll who made a better deal with the devil–a hack who never let plot or characterization stand in the way or a good action scene where things blow up.<\/p>\n

But Lobo was presented as a parody of the grim antihero movement in comics of the 1990s where being cool and badass were more important than plot or deep characterization. With a little introspection, Bay could be the perfect director for the project. But even without any introspection, Bay might accidentally stumble into being what the film needs in a meta sense.<\/p>\n

More on this as it develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Is Bay and Lobo a great pairing…or THE GREATEST PAIRING!<\/div>\n
