As with most comicbook movies, The producers/writers/directors/investors tend to have a "Creative Freedom" that can reinvent storylines and characters from comics. Well using this style of "CREATIVE FREEDOM", I have designed the following.
Knowing Brainiac was a Computer/program designed on Krypton it would be logical to think that the essense or core programing of a sentient computer would have been saved by JOR-EL, Since it was a key acheivement in Kryptonian history.
Now using the same "CREATIVE FREEDOM", perhaps Brainiac never turned bad on Krypton before its destruction (or maybe he did).
Either way, stored in the Krystals is a vast knowledge from around the universe, surely the Brainiac code was saved into one those of those Krystals so to preserve the accomplishment of such a fantastic Computer system/program.
If so Perhaps the Krypton Island that Superman threw into space at the end of Superman Returns will be the birth place of Brainiac. Perhaps it will be like a giant egg. Where the Krystals dropped by Kitty will be like seeds of a new supervillian, stored by Jor-El, who had no idea that Braniac could re emerge (depending on if he turned evil on Krypton before destruction) or emerge, this all depends on timelines and how a writer would want to portray the introduction of Brainiac (being created or pre existence).
So basically as the Krypton Island floats of into space, those other krystals begin to grow.
The whole island becomes a living computer of sorts, then much the like the legend of Sun Ku Wong or MONKEY KING, from out of the stone emerges A new life form, Braniac. Perhaps within him could be the Krystals still in original form, kind of like a CPU. (again not necessary but an option)
PLOT QUESTION: Why is he a villian?
Answer: Cause Krypton no longer exists.
Perhaps his underlying core program is to preserve Krypton, When he discovers it destruction he plans to recreate it. Similar in style to Lex's plan in Superman Returns but on a Global scale.
So Earth would a great staging ground for this and would need a Kryptonian make over.
In Walks the hero, Superman who although wants to preserve his heriatage will not let the destruction of Earth happen.
