Lobo was a web series appropriately starring Lobo.

The web series had the same over the top violence and irreverence to social mores as the Lobo comics. The web series took place in space, far away from Earth and any other superhero characters.

The Lobo web series was available at www.loboonline.com. That site has since been discontinued.

Background information[]

Production notes[]

  • In 1998, there was a Lobo animated series in development by John P. McCann, Boyd Kirkland, and Steve E. Gordon. The series was going to be voice directed by Andrea Romano, with the voice cast including Brad Garrett (as Lobo), Linda Hamilton, William H. Macy, and Paul Rugg. However, the series was canceled. Later on, Warner Bros. decided to do Lobo as a web series, and reused some elements from the cancelled animated series including Sunny Jim. John McCann would initially write the episodes, but decided to Alan Smithee his way off the project when there ended up being too much interference from DC Comics.[1] Given the lack of DCAU creatives involved with the web series and lack of tie-ins with the greater DCAU, the web series is considered to not officially be part of the DCAU.[2]

Trivia[]

  • Throughout the entire web series including easter eggs, Lobo says the word "frag" 27 times.
  • In the first five webisodes, Lobo's voice is very different compared to his other appearances.
