Supergirl Featurette Wiped From YouTube After Fans Spot Director Using Alleged AI Concept Art for Lobo
Lobo’s intimidating design in Warner Bros.’ 2026 Supergirl film was seemingly made with the help of artificial intelligence, something that sparked backlash among fans and resulted in a video revealing the news to get wiped off YouTube.
According to Nexus Point News, Warner Bros. removed a featurette from YouTube after fans noticed director Craig Gillespie using what appeared to be AI-generated concept art for Lobo's design in the Supergirl film. The featurette, uploaded post-film release in summer 2026, featured director Craig Gillespie discussing Jason Momoa's performance while scrolling through concept art on a laptop screen.
The images shown seemed to have a soft, blurred look resembling AI-generated content, sparking backlash among fans who protested the use of AI in such a major feature film. The featurette was taken down from YouTube within hours of the backlash. No official comment has been made by DC or Warner Bros. regarding the situation. IGN has contacted DC Studios for comment.
