'''''Lobo''''' is a 2000 web animation series of 14 short episodes made by Noodle Soup Productions for [[Warner Brothers]] Animation and created by Boyd Kirkland and John P. McCann. It stars [[Lobo]] from DC Comics and is filled with plenty of mature content such as profanity, graphic violence and sexual content. It had Greg Eagles and [[Kevin Michael Richardson]] voicing Lobo with [[Grey DeLisle]], [[Tom Kenny]] and [[Dee Bradley Baker]] providing voices for the other characters. It was originally going to be a family-friendly cartoon on Kids' WB with [[Brad Garrett]] voicing Lobo but was retooled. It was the very first adult-oriented DC cartoon, predating ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]'' by 19 years. It got a mixed to positive reception for staying true to the comics but got criticism for the animation.
