Swamp Thing might be deader than a mildew-covered corpse in the Louisiana sunshine, but the TV fates of DC Comic’s third-and-fourth-tier comic book superheroes continue to soldier on: Variety reports today that Syfy has just begun development on a series centered on utterly ridiculous ’90s antihero Lobo, an intergalactic bounty hunter who smokes cigars, calls people “bastiches,” and drives a motorcycle in space. (There’s other stuff, too, but that covers most of the interesting bits.) Said series is being brought up as a spin-off of the network’s Superman-adjacent prequel series Krypton, and hey, let’s all take a second to marinate in the idea that it’s 2019, and Krypton is somehow spawning spin-offs shows.
