The comic book world has been handed an array of news today, from the Venom-less teaser trailer of Venom to the possibility of Joaquin Phoenix playing the Joker. But the latest tidbit – that Michael Bay could end up helming a Lobo movie – has probably been the most unexpected.

The Transformers director is reportedly being eyed to direct DC’s Lobo solo film, with the plan to make it a Deadpool-style adult blockbuster. According to a recent-published report, this was brought on by Bay meeting with the studio, and giving notes on a script written by Wonder Woman‘s Jason Fuchs.
