Weadazoid · 09-05-2006, 06:44 PM

No Idea who shouild play him...but If Superman is to survive it takes a new fresh Villain like Brainiack to bring him back.

GreenKToo · 09-05-2006, 06:53 PM

man,this is awesome,makes me all excited thinking about the sequel...

Steelsheen · 09-05-2006, 08:21 PM

Brainiac + Luthor = Luthoriac

CGHulk · 09-05-2006, 11:15 PM

Should Brainic be a robot or should he be some guy with green make up on? i prefer him to be a robot!

dark_b · 09-06-2006, 05:43 AM

Richard as Brainiac?

Superman \S/ · 09-07-2006, 12:55 PM

Brainiac most be the villain for the sequel.

dark_b · 09-10-2006, 11:27 AM

i think after seeing this it is obvious.

1. brainiac
2. William Fichtner

The Caped Knight · 09-10-2006, 12:05 PM

I would love to see Brainiac in the sequel .

Superman \S/ · 09-10-2006, 01:33 PM

Luthor and Brainiac team up.

The Question · 09-10-2006, 04:00 PM

Actually, I'd prefer it a Lex and Superman team up against Brainiac. Brainiac comes to Earth looking to remake i into what he sees as a perfect world. He goes to Lex to use him for his technological skills. Superman ends up having to save Luthor, and maybe at the end Luthor pulls some legal manuevers and convinces the courts that his criminal actions were the cause of Brainiac threatening him.

That would be cool. And lex makes LexCorp in the end. In a perfect world, the movie would be about this.

But in singer`s world, a movie with zod and superman being a father.

not bad at all Dark B, but you should really consider getting rid of that link and reporting that link on Youtube... it contains bootleg material and that's illegal on these boards.

WhatsHisFace · 09-10-2006, 10:28 PM

Braniac must be played by Tim Allen, like Wizard wanted him to be.

Die Wizard!

The Sage · 09-11-2006, 07:51 AM

This is the guy I want to see right here. Routh spoke about the world becoming too dependent on Superman and needing him all the time. I'd love to see Brainiac try to capitalize on Kal's feelings about that to lure him away from Earth and by his side, or maybe to trap him. Talking about how weak humanity is. But Superman isn't able to leave, and Brainiac wonders why, and he slowly but surely discovers Jason.

And someone earlier who stated Hugo Weaving should be Brainiac was spot on.

ScottishFogg · 10-13-2006, 10:49 PM

i actually would like to see Patrick Stewart in the role.

i know, i know. he's Xavier.

but with him and Singer having worked together, it seems like he has an easy in. he's an actor who can pull off a wide range of characters (though his two biggest roles have been attached to chairs). i think having him on screen, with Spacey as Luthor, would be FANTASTIC. besides, i've always wanted to see him play a villain.

Sadly.

Also, I'd actually be a little weird here and cast Brent Spiner as Brainiac. And not at all for his role as Data on Star Trek. The Brainiac I want to see would be sarcastic, petty, and very emotional. More like Lor from Star Trek, actually. Plus, Spiner's got the look for pre-body snatched Milton Fine. You could see him as a washed up side show mystic.

Only in a perfect world.

Oh and by the way, John Malkovich.

The Overlord · 10-14-2006, 02:59 PM

I wpuld go with a CGI robot Brainiac, instead of actor in green makeup. Also I think Corey Burton should voice him, but I bet they will go with a movie star instead.

I never liked post crisis Brainiac or the Milton Fine addition of the character, that all seemed needlessly convoluted and silly to me. I still think STAS Brainiac was the best version of the character and I would go with that version, plus I would go with a CGI robot instead of an onscreen actor.
