All-Star Superman Writer Grant Morrison Delivers His Verdict on Supergirl and Jason Momoa's Lobo

Grant Morrison, the renowned comic book writer, has shared his thoughts on DC Universe's Supergirl movie, as well as his opinions on Jason Momoa's portrayal of Lobo. In his Substack article, Xanaduum, Morrison stated that the film "wasn't terrible but wasn't especially great either," praising Millie Alcock's performance as Kara Zor-El but criticizing Jason Momoa's portrayal of Lobo.

Momoa's performance was described as "one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen in a film and quite baffling," given the character's potential as a perfect fit for the actor. The storyline of Supergirl was criticized for falling apart in the second act, as Morrison believed the plot to be nonsensical. The film only required Supergirl to bring Krypto to a yellow sun world to make him invulnerable, rather than chasing after Krem, the low-level antagonist.

Supergirl's disastrous box office performance, making only $126 million globally, disappointed DC Studios and left speculation about the future of the DC Universe. Despite this, Warner Bros. boss David Zaslav stated that the DCU remained on-track, and the upcoming Man of Tomorrow, starring Millie Alcock, was being prioritized. Actor Jason Momoa, who plays Lobo, has expressed his desire for a rated R Lobo solo movie, implying that a PG-13 version is not an option.
