<\/p>\n

Jason Momoa officially takes on the role robot<\/strong> Anticipation for his upcoming debut in the new DCU is extremely high. super girl<\/em>will be released in just a few months. But DC Comics just did something really exciting with The Main Man, giving Lobo a surprising new hero rival in his latest appearance, apparently in honor of Momoa’s brand new DC role.<\/p>\n

While Momoa is about to make his DCU debut as the intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo; super girl<\/em>The actor originally played Aquaman in the previous Cinematic Universe before being rebooted by new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. Momoa has appeared multiple times as Aquaman, making his first appearance in the 2016 film. batman vs superman<\/em>: Dawn of Justice and 2017 justice league<\/em> Before appearing in two movies aquaman<\/em> movie (and multiple cameos). But Momoa is now getting the chance to play Lobo, the DC role many thought he was born to play.<\/p>\n

However, rather than completely ignoring Jason Momoa’s past role as Aquaman in the previous DCEU, the comic is having fun with that exciting change, resulting in a very meta and very entertaining matchup between Lobo and Aquaman himself in the new installment. Robo No. 2<\/em> Written by Scotty Young and Jorge Corona.<\/p>\n

Two months before Supergirl, Lobo takes on Aquaman ahead of his DCU debut.
\n <\/h2>\n

In a perfectly timed synergy, DC Comics pitted Lobo against Aquaman months before Lobo made his big screen debut in the DCU.<\/p>\n

new Robo No. 2<\/em>the titular intergalactic bounty hunter continues to work for Omni Omega+ Entertainment Corporation and stars in his own intergalactic reality show, The Main Man, where Lobo’s various work is broadcast as Antihero Entertainment. However, due to focus group data, Lobo received a new costume and appearance, and the suits decided that Lobo needed to fight a legitimate hero to increase viewership. <\/p>\n

As a result, Lobo is given a contract to take on none other than Emperor Aquaman, and is now traveling the universe and building a new intergalactic empire.<\/p>\n

Although Aquaman rightly mocks Lobo’s ridiculous new appearance, the brawl between the two superpowers ends after an hour-long stalemate and is only resolved when Lobo’s contract is abruptly terminated. Apparently, OOEC was acquired by Galactic Rodent Productions (definitely Disney’s version of DC Cosmic).<\/p>\n

This fight between Lobo and Aquaman is entertaining, but the big question now is whether this showdown will make it to the big screen. In great timing, Jason Momoa had literally just joked with Peter Safran on stage at CinemaCon the day before about wanting to do a Lobo\/Aquaman project. Robo No. 2<\/em> Published by DC Comics.<\/p>\n

Is it possible that we’ll see a showdown between Lobo and Arthur Curry someday in the new DCU? It’s certainly possible. However, it seems doubtful that Momoa will play Aquaman even now that he’s attached to Lobo.<\/p>\n

01<\/p>\n

Before he became Clark Kent, Superman was born as Kal-El on a faraway planet destined for destruction. His parents Jor-El and Lara put him on a rocket ship as an infant and sent him across space to Earth. What is the name of Superman’s home planet?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

\u2713 Correct! Krypton was a scientifically advanced planet, but it exploded because its core was unstable. Superman’s father, Jor-El, was the only scientist who foresaw the catastrophe and was able to save his son by launching him towards Earth in a small spaceship.<\/p>\n

\u2717 That’s no faster than a speeding bullet! The answer is Krypton. Thanagar is Hawkman’s homeworld, Apokolips is Darkseid’s realm, and Oa is home to the Green Lantern Corps. The destruction of Krypton is the defining event of Superman’s origin story.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Superman’s greatest love is a fearless Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who works alongside Clark Kent at the Daily Planet. She is known for her relentless pursuit of the truth and for being one of the few who can see both the hero and the man. who is she?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

\u2713 Correct! Lois Lane has been Superman’s primary love interest since her debut in Action Comics #1 in 1938. A brilliant investigative reporter, she’s as iconic as Superman himself, tough, smart, and unafraid to follow Metropolis’ biggest stories.<\/p>\n

\u2717 That’s no faster than a speeding bullet! The answer is Lois Lane. Diana Prince is Wonder Woman, Lana Lang is Clark’s high school sweetheart from Smallville, and Cat Grant is a gossip columnist for the Daily Planet. Lois Lane is Superman’s iconic partner.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite being nearly invincible under Earth’s yellow sun, Superman has one well-known weakness. It’s a radioactive mineral that comes from the remains of your destroyed homeland. Exposure to it can drain his powers and even lead to death. What is this substance called?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

\u2713 Correct! Kryptonite is the radiation-exposed remains of the star Krypton. Green kryptonite is the most common and deadly type, but there are many others. Red Kryptonite causes unpredictable behavior, Gold Kryptonite can permanently strip him of his abilities, and Blue Kryptonite affects Bizarro.<\/p>\n

\u2717 That’s no faster than a speeding bullet! The answer is kryptonite. Vibranium comes from the world of Marvel’s Black Panther, the Nth metal has ties to Hawkman, and Red Sun ore isn’t a real DC substance. Kryptonite is the iconic green glowing mineral that is Superman’s ultimate weakness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

In 1978, a then-unknown actor donned a cape and convinced the world that humans could fly. His portrayal of Superman became a gold standard in superhero movies, and he starred in four Superman movies. Who is this legendary actor?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

\u2713 Correct! Christopher Reeve’s portrayal of Superman in Superman: The Movie (1978) is widely regarded as the definitive live-action Superman. His performance perfectly balanced Superman’s heroic confidence with Clark Kent’s endearing awkwardness, setting a template that every Superman actor has followed since.<\/p>\n

\u2717 That’s no faster than a speeding bullet! The answer is Christopher Reeve. Henry Cavill has played Superman in the DCEU since Man of Steel (2013), Brandon Routh starred in Superman Returns (2006), and Tom Welling played young Clark in the TV series Smallville. Reeve was the original big screen Superman.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Superman’s greatest enemy isn’t an alien with superpowers. He is a brilliant and ruthless human billionaire who believes Superman is a threat to humanity’s potential. This bald genius has been Superman’s nemesis for over 80 years. who is he?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

\u2713 Correct! Lex Luthor is Superman’s ultimate foil. Where Superman represents hope and selflessness, Luthor represents ambition and ego. Despite having no superpowers, his genius-level intelligence and vast resources make him Superman’s most persistent and dangerous enemy.<\/p>\n

\u2717 That’s no faster than a speeding bullet! The answer is Lex Luthor. Brainiac is an alien android who collects cities, Darkseid is the godlike ruler of Apokolips, and Doomsday is the monster famous for killing Superman. But Lex Luthor is the ultimate nemesis, a dark mirror of Superman.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Kal-El crash-landed on Earth as a baby and was picked up and adopted by a kind farming couple, Jonathan and Martha Kent. They raised him in a small rural town with strong moral values. Where did Clark Kent grow up?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

\u2713 Correct! Smallville, Kansas is a typical small American town where Jonathan and Martha Kent raised Clark with core values \u200b\u200bof honesty, compassion, and humility. It’s the basis of who Superman is. It’s not a power from Krypton, but a personality instilled in her by her parents in Kansas.<\/p>\n

\u2717 It’s no faster than a speeding bullet! The answer is Smallville, Kansas. Gotham is Batman’s city, Metropolis is where Clark moved to work at the Daily Planet as an adult, and Coast City is the home of the Green Lanterns. Smallville is where the Kent family raised Clark on their farm.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n

07<\/p>\n

As Clark Kent, Superman disguises himself as a mild-mannered reporter working for Metropolis’ most famous newspaper, along with Lois Lane and photographer Jimmy Olsen. Editor-in-Chief Perry White runs the newsroom. What is the name of this newspaper?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

\u2713 Correct! The Daily Planet, with its iconic globe on its roof, is one of the most famous fictional newspapers in pop culture. Working there allows Clark Kent to stay in hiding and stay informed about threats to the city and the world.<\/p>\n

\u2717 That’s no faster than a speeding bullet! The answer is Daily Planet. The Daily Bugle is Spider-Man’s Marvel Universe newspaper, while Metropolis Star and Gotham Gazette are DC’s smaller publications. The Daily Planet, with its rotating globe, is the home of Superman’s journalists.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

This Kryptonian military commander was exiled to the Phantom Zone for treason before Krypton’s destruction. He escaped and came to Earth seeking revenge, famously demanding that others “kneel” before him. His iconic portrayal by Terrence Stamp cemented him in pop culture. Who is this villain?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n

\u2713 Correct! General Zod is one of Superman’s most feared enemies, as he has all of Superman’s powers but none of his morality. Terrence Stamp’s “I kneel before Zod” in Superman II (1980) became one of the most quoted villain lines in movie history. Michael Shannon later reprized the role in Man of Steel (2013).<\/p>\n

\u2717 That’s no faster than a speeding bullet! The answer is General Zod. Bizarro is a flawed clone of Superman, Parasite drains his powers through contact, and Metallo is a cyborg with a heart of kryptonite. General Zod is a Kryptonian military leader who yells, “Kneel before Zod!” Decades of Superman stories resonate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Are you a man of steel or are you still stuck in a phone booth?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

It’s very likely that the King of Atlantis will eventually be recast for a future appearance in the new DC Universe. While some actors and roles have been retained across universes, like John Cena as Peacemaker and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, the biggest roles have been or will be recast, like David Corensweat replacing Henry Cavill as Superman.<\/p>\n

Either way, there’s a lot of potential for a live-action robot-versus-Aquaman clash. As it turns out, this new issue of Lobo proved just that. Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, Robo No. 2<\/em> It’s a fun glimpse into what will become of the DCU’s main man and King of Atlantis.<\/p>\n
