Finally! I’ve been hearing bits and pieces about a Lobo movie for quite a while now, but I’ve been quiet about it because very little has been in the press. Now, I got me some info!
I saw over on Superhero Hype their report that Warner Bros has hired Brad Peyton to pick up the mantle and direct the DC Comics Adaptation of Lobo.
Brad Peyton’s resume includes Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, & Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
I like to judge the potential of a movie by what the director’s past movies they’ve worked on. Is this a good mix? Maybe… He did have Dwayne Johnson under his directorial eye and Journey 2 has pulled in around $100M so far. But to go from Kitty Galore and 3D Islands to Lobo is a huge stretch! Lobo is a unique kind of good guy.

Christian Bale has confirmed in an interview in “The Philippine Daily Enquirer” that this third Batman film from Christopher Nolan, will be his final take on the Bruce Wayne character, or his alter-ego, Batman.
It makes sense, considering that Christopher Nolan has always said his vision of Batman was a three-film deal, that Christian Bale will also be pulling back from the role. It’s been a wonderful combo of talent that has brought the light of this comic book hero to life, and this particular combo is coming to a close when The Dark Knight Rises hits movie theaters in July of 2012.

Justice League Movie and Batman Reboot
And I think it’s also a good idea the Bale send this message to Warner Bros., considering that Warner Bros. is looking to move forward with what I consider to be a hair-brained idea of rebooting the Batman movie franchise after Nolan’s third chapter.
