Well now, this should be good. Lobo is back 😄
Lobo in injustice sucks. He got his head snatched off (with ease) by an amped Harley. He died when Superman carried him to the sun. Then he got shot in the eye by some arrows. He didn't appear as a top tier at any point in injustice.

Also this pairing is ****ing boring. It is so devoid of any characterization between both characters and any romantic tension that they had to insert an artificial "The world fears their imaginary baby" angle even before they kissed, as if there is nothing more powerful than the horror of a superpowered amazonian/kryptonian baby. The way Johns has developed this pairing is ****ing atrocious.
There is a reason every comic book great writer has chosen Superman/Lois relationship to be the backbone of Superman mythos. In the words of Warren Ellis:
WHY THEY'LL NEVER LET ME WRITE SUPERMAN
Brief, Disconnected Notes On An American MythologyI'm not a superhero fan. I had to learn the subgenre when I began
writing for the States. I've had to learn to read them. Now, I can
appreciate some of them. Not many, it has to be said... but some.
The one I always wanted to like was Superman.Superman is a uniquely American icon, and the first true myth of
the electronic age. One special facet to it is that it began as a myth
told to children by children. Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster were
youths when they created Superman, a far cry from today's handful
of twentysomethings and carloads of middle-aged men who give
today's children their superheroes.(Perhaps this is why, to me, a strong adult atory told with Superman
would seem curiously inappropriate -- and, conversely, the 20th
Century social nightmare given inky form that is The Batman seems
to me strangely inappropriate as figure of children's tales.)Superman, then, is the agent of modern fable -- the most compelling
fable the 20th Century gave us. Soap opera is unworthy of him, and,
as has been proved many times, is not big enough to contain him and
the central concepts of his story. At the heart of myth and legend is
Romance. That is not the same as the weak, whiny demands of soap
opera that begin with "characterisation" and crap on with demands for
ever more levels of "conflict", "jeopardy", "ensemble writing", "tight
continuity" and all the rest of that bollocks. These things are unimportant.
Many of them just completely get in the way of the job at hand.
SUPERMAN requires only the sweep and invention and vision that
myth demands, and the artistry and directness and clean hands that
Romance requires.SUPERMAN is about someone trying their best to save the world, one
day at a time; and it's about that person's love for that one whose intellect
and emotion and sheer bloody humanity completes him. It's about
Superman, and it's about Lois and Clark. And that's all there is. That's
the spine. That must be protected to the death, not lost in a cannonade
succession of continuing stories.That's what, in the continuing rush to top the last plotline, I see getting lost.

Also as one of the greatest superman stories ever told stated, its too predictable.

You love Lois more than Superman, don't you.
