I mean would rather Biker Lobo and you would think he would fit in this 'edgy' New 52 naturally but if I had to choose some redesign I'd roll with the space samurai.

While the redesign isn't my favorite, I like the new writer's take on the character in this interview:

http://www.newsarama.com/18200-new-f...ins-month.html


Quote:
Nrama: As I'm sure you're aware, Lobo originally represented all that was "cliché" about comic book "bad-assery." Is he still that character at all? How would describe the character now, as you're writing him?

Bennett: The surest way to miss the mark of what is “cool” or “badass” is to focus on those words and concepts. If you miss a target in archery, it’s because you were thinking too much about the target, and not enough about what you were doing to hit the target.

I have no intentions to make Lobo “cool” or “badass." I will write him proud, vicious, indifferent, driven, and self-satisfying.

Kalyx triaD 08-24-2013 12:17 AM
Alright, decent thoughts.

DaveBrawl 08-24-2013 09:59 AM
Seems to me that if he was meant to be cliche about all that was "cool" and "manly" when he was created, they appear to be doing the same with this current redesign.

He's pretty much the stereotype for everything that is "dark", "mysterious" and "gothic" and all of that nonsense that Twilight and it's contemporaries like to claim these days.

Shadow 08-24-2013 02:41 PM
Oh so that's what that thing is supposed to be.

parkmania 08-24-2013 08:41 PM
He looks like a pale Dick Greyson. Do not like.

Reavant 08-25-2013 12:28 PM
its a woman writing lobo so that explains this

Kalyx triaD 08-25-2013 03:05 PM
Really, dude?

Reavant 08-25-2013 03:30 PM
its a joke kalyx calm down

Kalyx triaD 08-25-2013 04:03 PM
ok

mitchables 08-26-2013 06:09 AM
it's a really fucking stupid joke. i'm with kalyx, honestly

Fignuts 08-26-2013 03:10 PM
Eh.

I've seen worse. Nothing to get upset about really.

The new Lobo, who sports a sleek new character design by Kenneth Rocafort, will be unveiled in the September Villains month one-shot, Justice League #23.2: Lobo. The new Lobo is evidently extremely pissed off that someone has been stealing his thunder, and he’s determined to do something about it.

Writing on The Source, Harras announced that Justice League #23.2: Lobo from the creative team of Marguerite Bennett, Ben Oliver, Cliff Richards, and Daniel Brown “will contain a major surprise.” In the book that is due out on September 11th, the real Lobo is on a quest to kill the man who has taken his name.



The rejected designs all featured a thicker version of Lobo like this one, which was Rocafort's first try.
Rocafort produced several prototypes for the new Lobo, and DC picked the leanest design that Rocafort produced, which features updated facial tattoos, laser-edged blades, and powerful gloves—a new look that according to Harras “turns Lobo into a lean, mean killing machine.”
Still think it's almost as much gash as Miley Cyrus at the VMAs.

no one's even close to upset


kalyx just said "really?" and then old mate was like WHOA CALM DOWN IT'S JUST A JOKE


which, yeah, it is, i guess, but it's also pretty stupid


i think that's all we were saying; weren't calling for him to be burnt at the stake for misogyny or something

KIRA 08-27-2013 12:59 AM
Whats this B.S. I hear about DC claiming they write for an audience in their 40s?

Lock Jaw 08-27-2013 01:05 AM
I don't know, what?

Kalyx triaD 08-27-2013 01:44 AM

But it's TPWW. All we do here is burn each other at the stakes.

Seems terribly like conjecture, tbh. Doesn't sound like anything official and I don't know how strong this writer's word is.

There'a also the fact the series he mentions as "doing well" or whatever was released back in 2006, so I doubt this is a conversation he had with DC recently.

The Destroyer 08-27-2013 05:39 PM
http://www.newsarama.com/18704-paul-...-projects.html

And there we go. It was a conversation he had "7 or 8 years ago".

Kalyx triaD 08-27-2013 06:07 PM
Damn.

Fignuts 08-28-2013 12:51 AM
Well to be fair, 7 or 8 years ago they were targeting older fans.

Also, Linkara is terrible.

slik 08-29-2013 06:23 PM
There is a deathwatch blog for Nightwing:

http://isnightwingdead.blogspot.com/

I don't think Dick Grayson is dying anytime soon.

Kalyx triaD 08-29-2013 09:26 PM
Okay.

slik 08-29-2013 10:09 PM
Kalyx don't be grumpy.

You know Forever Evil has brought the latest round of 'Is Nightwing Dying' talk up again since DC keeps saying 'bad things are going to happen to Dick Grayson, very bad' and 'September 4th all comic books fans and even the mainstream media will be talking about Dick Grayson'.

A lot of folks think Dick Grayson's identity is about to go public and a lot of folks think he is biting the big one again (which Dan Didio has done nothing to discourage of course).

I think it's DC over-hype personally.

Kalyx triaD 08-29-2013 10:19 PM
I wasn't being grumpy, but we talk about potential happenings all the time without having a full on blog site going up.

slik 08-29-2013 10:24 PM
I know.

That's why I find it entertaining someone made one.

Lock Jaw 08-29-2013 10:39 PM
Perhaps if you made more detailed posts than "Okay", people might not take it as you being grumpy.

Anyways, there have been rumors of Dick Grayson dying since Infinite Crisis. Don't see it happening any time soon.

Don't see his identity being made public either, because it is only a short jump away to figure out Batman's identity in that case.

How people interpret my minimal posts is up to them, it says nothing about me when they assume whatever.

Lock Jaw 08-29-2013 11:34 PM
Kalyx, don't be grumpy.

Kalyx triaD 08-30-2013 12:51 AM
Dammit

DaveBrawl 08-30-2013 08:42 AM
Gonna throw a fit if they kill Dick Grayson but leave Jason Todd alive.

slik 09-04-2013 10:35 AM
and the big Nightwing scoop is...

SPOILER: show
his real identity is revealed to the world by the Crime Syndicate

Reavant 09-04-2013 11:36 AM
thats dumb

Reavant 09-04-2013 11:37 AM
unless they actually thought out someday linking it to batman/bruce

Kalyx triaD 09-04-2013 06:20 PM
So a Spider-Man/Civil War deal?

Kalyx triaD 09-04-2013 06:25 PM
