Warner Bros. Picks Brad Peyton to Direct the Adaptation of DC’s “Lobo”

Oh boy… as reported by Deadline Hollywood, Warner Brothers has selected Journey 2 director Brad Peyton as the director of the feature adaptation of DC Comics’ “Lobo”. You know, that foul-talking, ultra-violent bounty hunter… who may now possibly ride a giant bee instead of a space cycle.

This is the first we’ve heard of the feature Lobo project in a while. In 2009, WB announced that Guy Ritchie would be the director (which would have been awesome). Before that, there was a Superman VS Lobo script circulating the studio but Superman ended up being rebooted by Brian Singer (and will now be rebooted again by Zack Snyder). Peyton will also be re-writing the current draft of the script.

What do you guys think? Good news? Bad news? Do you think we’ll actually see the crazy bastich on film this time?
