I've always had ideas for a Lobo movie that I think would work well on screen.
Basically, it would be a "deal with the devil" type of story.
The feel and look of the movie would be a blend of Star Wars (think of the bounty hunter/smugglers bar, or Jabba the Hutt's lair) only more darker, sleazier and dangerous.
Vril Dox and the rest of LEGION (set up as the galaxies primary police force) are forced to seek outside help in looking for an alien child that holds the cure for a "plague" that will "infect" every life from in the galaxy.
The child has been abducted by an army of religious zealots led by the monstrous Despero (a tyrannical leader who wants the power of the "plague" for himself. Have him exactly as he is in the comics, albeit a little less pink).
Every bounty hunter/mercenary that has been approached doesn't want the job. Dox gets word of a bounty hunter that specializes in work that noone else wants (or can handle)........Lobo.
Everyone he's spoken too tells him the same thing- Lobo is the meanest, nastiest and deadliest bounty hunter in the universe and that he's more trouble than he's worth.
The all important introduction scene-
Dingy, run down intergalactic "biker" bar. All sorts of scary looking aliens reside in it's darkly lit corners, with all sorts of alien entertainment goes on around Dox as he enters the bar.
Dox see's Lobo sittting at the bar. Everyone else is sitting as far away from him as they can, all eyes on Dox as hesitantly heads over to Lobo. Only one alien drunk is sitting next to Lobo, passed out and drooling on the bar.
Dox asks Lobo for a moment of his time. Lobo raises his head from his glass, but is otherwise non-responsive. Dox continues....
"Lobo, my name is Vril Dox, and I have a job for you. LEGION has need of your bounty hunting servi....."
*SQUISH!!* goes the drunks head as Lobo slams his fist down on the alien sitting next to him.
"I'm sorry. Did I just break your concentration?"
(This scene is in a comic featuring The Ray, and I thought it's the perfect way to introduce Lobo and showcase his absolute unflinching ability to kill on a whim, and the utter disregard for life he has, not to mention shake Vril Dox up a bit, letting him know what he's about to get into.)
After a tense confrontation in the bar, Lobo accepts the mission. (Dox telling Lobo noone else wants it is the selling point, as Lobo has an ego and rep to uphold).
As they are prepared to leave, a group of hard-ass alien bikers/mercenaries walk in and recognise Lobo as the one who killed their leader in a barfight the week before. Lobo says he killed dozens of losers last week, and for them to be a bit more specific.
They draw their weapons.
"You may wanna get under a table, Frilly Dicks." Lobo says smugly.
Choas ensues. Lobo kills everyone in the bar.
Dox comes out from under the table to witness the carnage, trying to fully comprehend what the hell he's getting himself, LEGION and the galaxy into.
Now we get the introduction to the rest of LEGION.
They are horrified at Lobo's personality and vulgarity, and disgusted they have work with someone like him.
He's certainly living up his reputation.
Next they go to Lobo's base, which is literally a shack/garage sitting on an asteroid.
We see his massive arsenal of weapons, his awesome looking Space Hog, his mechanic/weapons-smith/sidekick/partner-in-crime Jonas Glim, and we also get an encounter with Lobo's herd of space dolphins.
The dolphins give off a harmonic/entrancing song that seems to have a almost blissful, calming effect on Lobo. It's almost like a drug to Lobo, who would never admit it, but he actually loves these dolphins as his pets/companions.
The next phase of the movie is explaining the story of the alien child and the prophecy stating the child's importance and what the "plague" actually is.
This is also where Lobo reveals his expertise with "plagues", having engineered one himself whe he was a teen which killed his whole planet. It was a school project that he gave himself an "A" for.
Mortified, LEGION decide Lobo's too much of a threat, and sneakily teleport him and his bike to a planet Despero and his crew have just left. LEGION think they have rid themselves of Lobo and decide to try and bring in Despero aand the child themselves.
Lobo, having the feeling he's been betrayed, promises to rectify LEGION's betrayal later, but first things first, he's given his word to bring in Despero and the child, and Lobo always keeps his word.
Lobo is then seen performing a series of brutal torture/interogation scenes on alien mercenaries, some humorous, some plain nasty. They all tell him the same thing....Despero has fled the planet.
Tracking his scent, Lobo takes off into space at full speed on his Hog, tearing through the cosmos at light speed. (Think Wolverine on Cyclops' bike in the X-Men movie, only at lightspeed.)
He reaches a massive starship, which is Despero's headquarters. He fights his way onboard, slaying many soldiers and mercenaries as he breaches the command deck.
Despero asks Lobo who he is and what does he want, to which Lobo shoots him in the chest. Despero is completely unharmed, and with a flicker of his 3rd eye, holds Lobo suspended in the air via telekinesis.
With Lobo susspended in the air, Despero begins to fill Lobo in on the real threat of the plague. It is a soul stealing entity that is using the child's body as a host. The child is in a catatonic state, it's mind paralyzed by the entity's immense force and power.
If the child were to die, the "Soul Plague" would spread throughout the universe and consume every living soul, creating a universe full of soul-less zombies, while empowering the host body with absolute control of every "infected" soul in the universe.
Lobo seems unfazed, bored even. He's here for one reason, and that's to bring in Despero and the child. He doesn't care what's it over.
As Despero monologues, he stands before a buffet of alien foods and picks at various delicacies.
Lobo see's a familar item on the menu. A half-eaten, freshly cooked Space Dolphin.
Lobo instantly goes insane with bloodlust. He busts out of Despero's TK and attacks. His hook and chain in hand, he goes ballistic, punching , slashing, kicking and even biting Despero in an attempt to hurt him.
After taking everything Lobo has, Despero opens his 3rd eye once more and blasts Lobo clear out the side of the ship's hull, leaving him to float in space unconscious.
(Despero's 3rd eye gives him telepathy, TK, and cosmic energy blasts, while physically he's massive, 10ft tall, and has superstrength and nigh-invulnerability)
Lobo is blasted out of the ship and left in the void of space, unconsious for the time being. He comes to and realizes he's starnded in a void, with no planets in sight. He whistles for his bike, and it comes to "life" and bursts out of Despero's ship and comes back for Lobo.
Despero's ship enters warp-space and vanishes.
