Bill Bria reports for SlashFilm on the wishful thinking of James Gunn and Peter Safran:
James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Studios universe has so far been able to reap the benefit of so much trial-and-error over the last decade and change. Last year's "Superman" presented a fully-formed universe for its titular hero, one where other notable characters who aren't a typical "Superman" supporting player could and did turn up naturally. This week's "Supergirl" continues the trend, by having Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) cross paths with the wild and crazy Czarnian bounty hunter, Lobo (Jason Momoa). To be sure, Lobo's role in "Supergirl" is fully a supporting one, and he's a natural part of the story. Yet his presence is significant enough that it feels like he's being set up for his own potential spin-off. While nothing is guaranteed (after all, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk still hasn't gotten his own film), Momoa's Lobo has enough gas in the tank to make a potential solo movie sound intriguing rather than obligatory.
