BvS ¿Is Brainiac the villian between Superman/Batman and JL? Which other if not?

[John-An]

Taking as the big What cliffhanger? I wish people would post links when they make threads like this.[/QUOTE] http://batman-news.com/2014/01/13/batman-vs-superman-justice-league-film-back-back/"]cliffhanger reported, if true, we need a big villain. The best option that came in my mind, the most logical and one of the greatest oponent is Brainiac.

I've always wanted to see Brainiac from Colu.
Of course are others but I can't think of another aside of Darkseid (reserve it for sequels) you have to take in consideration that most of JL villains are aliens. Could be magical, atlanteans but I need your opinion also.

If you don't think He's the main threat. Post the one that you think is the connecting villain.

He reminds me of Swamp Thing in that image.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Killer Moth will be the main villain in Justice League.

 

[shauner111]

I really think it's Brainiac now. Darkseid leaves nothing for a possible sequel. And we know they'll do one. So Brainiac it is.

 

[bluerayer]

please forgive me but i voted Starro.

Good point. I think in Superman VS Batman, the villains will be Lex and Metallo. Everyone is expecting Darkseid to be the main villain and kickoff to JL, but you could be right since Snyder said SM/BM explodes both universes and with this universe set in the MoS-verse, Brainiac could be the Justice League villain with Darkseid used for JL2 and then have Doomsday for a Superman-solo down the road.

So many possibilities.

 

[shauner111]

I dont think it's Metallo for BvS, it'll be Doomsday. Im almost sure of it. If it isn't, they'll keep him for the final Cavill-Superman movie. But if they do use Doomsday next, they're not leaving a lot of room for a future Superman film in this universe.

Maybe they won't do another Superman movie. They could use him and possibly Batman for team-ups only. And that could be why they decide to use Doomsday in 2016. Otherwise, they won't have a chance.

 

[ShoguN]

I think that its gona be Doomsday and Metallo. Cavill has mentioned Doomsday twice (Cavill also talked about Cyborg) and Doomsday was mentioned on the DVD special features. And i have a feeling Lex is gona make several Metallos one of them being Cyborg. (Theyl be connected). If they use Doomsday im sure that leaves plenty other villians for future solo supes movies. Doomsday doesnt have to be the death of Superman. I dnt wna see him die. just close to dying.

 

[shauner111]

Ive had that feeling for a while about Cyborg. Lex is responsible for Victor Stone's transformation somewhat. He may try to use him but it backfires. Superman/Wonder Woman/Batman get inside Vic's head and he sides with them.

Yea that makes sense. I wouldnt be surprised if they make Batman the antagonist through supes eyes either (through half of the film). Theres so many things they can do with this film its impossible to predict. Itl be easier when we get set photos ect

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I would prefer Brainiac to be in a solo Superman movie.

 

[shauner111]

Me too, but if i was a betting man, i wouldnt bet a dime on them doing more Superman movies. There's a reason why Batman vs Superman is being made as the sequel to MOS.

 

[ShoguN]

Yea maybe we can wait atleast one more movie before another alien invasion.

 

[ShoguN]

It might depend on the success and general audience reaction to bvs and jl that determines if we get more supes solo films.

 

[Lily Adler]

Brainiac will be the puppetmaster of the trilogy.

 

[CK_ALL_DAY]

They should use the so called Film Critics as the villains in at least one of them, preferably JL. I can see it now...

**Batman throws a tomato Batarang in which Superman uses heat vision to explode the tomato on insert critic's face while Wonder Woman hooks the critic with her lasso of truth and pulls him close, tightening it even more and calmly asks, "How do you like those tomatoes now?" The Flash zooms by and pulls the critics pants down just as Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) arrives and comments, "Now that's what I'd call a rotten tomato"**

End scene

[Rorschach2012]

There are so many villains that can work here. Doomsday Brainiac or Metallo seem to be the most likely

 

[DA_Champion]

Batman is the villain of the movie, get used to it.

 

[InJustice]

How exactly does Brainiac work? If you assume the typical Kryptonian origin, then you have to realize that Snyder's Krypton doesn't really have a Brainiac type of character, plus, you waste precious screen time trying to retcon and show how Brainiac was a big deal in Krypton. If you want to go the Colu route, then it reeks of not only being generic, but also Zod v.2.0 since it's basically another alien invasion plot.

I just don't see how Brainiac works in the context of Man of Steel without making a dramatic change in his origins.

I've never been a fan of Brainiac. Main villain in BvS should be Lex + Metallo. If they include a cliffhanger villain for JL I'd say it should be Atlanteans. I think staying terrestrial for a few films is best - too many alien invasion flicks the last few years, including MoS and Avengers.

I think you have Vandal Savage & The Legion of Doom in JL2, and Darkseid for JL3. In between those movies you can use all the various other villains in solo and team-up movies (i.e. Brainiac and/or Doomsday for MoS 3, White Martians for an origin story MM movie, Ares in a WW film, etc...)

 

[Fallen Angel]

Villain for Justice League well start with Darkseid.

Then later on you can have Anti Monitor, Legion of Doom, Vandal Savage etc.

I would love for them to start with Darksied. But I don't think they will.

 

[Wise]

It's funny when I think about it, but I firmly believe that the best iteration of Braniac isn't even in a DC movie or TV show.

It's the Borg Queen from First Contact. I love the idea that's been floated around this forum of an actress like Tilda Swinton playing an androgynous version of Brainiac.

 

[Pickleweasel]

Brainiac would be good villain for the first justice league.

You can show off everyones powers and have them go crazy against robots
