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. 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 by 19 years. It got a mixed to positive reception for staying true to the comics but got criticism for the animation.
