A fresh twist from DC Comics is grabbing attention as Lobo’s latest storyline introduces a rival fans didn’t expect. The move cleverly connects past and future casting choices, creating buzz among superhero followers who track both the big-screen universe and comic book canon.
Jason Momoa’s 2 DC movie characters fight in comics
In a surprising crossover moment, Jason Momoa‘s two DC roles collide on the page. The new issue, Lobo #2, released April 15, pits the chaotic bounty hunter Lobo against none other than Aquaman. It’s a meta nod to Momoa’s shift from playing Aquaman in the old DCEU to taking on Lobo in the upcoming DCU project Supergirl.
The comic doesn’t just throw them together randomly. It builds the clash through a bizarre setup where Lobo works for a corporation producing a galaxy-wide reality show. Executives decide ratings need a boost, so they push Lobo to face a real hero.
That leads to a contract targeting Aquaman, now portrayed as an emperor traveling through space and building an intergalactic empire. The fight itself turns into a wild, hour-long stalemate before being abruptly cut short.
There’s also a layer of satire running through the story. Lobo’s employers tweak his look based on focus group feedback, and the entire mission feels like entertainment packaged for viewers inside the comic’s universe. Even the ending leans into humor, as the contract gets canceled when the company is suddenly bought out, stopping the fight mid-action.
The timing is no accident. With James Gunn and Peter Safran rebooting the DCU, Momoa is stepping into a new role while leaving Aquaman behind. The comic playfully acknowledges that shift instead of ignoring it. Fans would love a live-action version of this clash to happen someday, though it would likely require a new actor for Aquaman.
For now, fans are just counting down to Supergirl, featuring Milly Alcock, Jason Momoa, and more. The film is all set to hit theaters worldwide on June 26, 2026.
