Sequels Superman Villain in Sequel

[BobJM]

Ok, now I know that there are a few threads on this topic, but none have a poll attached to them. Now that the movie has been released (although I won't be seeing it until tomorrow), I believe that it is a good time to see if people's opinions have changed or stayed the same.

In the poll above, you are allowed to vote for multiple villains because, as we all know, superhero flicks often have villains team up to stop the protagonist from succeeding.

Out of the choices above, I feel that either Brainiac or Metallo should be paired up with Luthor (obviously).

If we want Superman's conflict to be not only external but internal, Brainiac could be a great challenge. With his knowledge of Krypton, he could easily tease the Man of Steel by dangling information on the dead planet right in front of him. Also with his knowledge of the long forgotten planet, Brainiac would know all of Superman's weaknesses, namely Kryptonite. Also, with Luthor thrown in the mix, we could have Lexiac, two of Superman's greatest foes combined.

Now, as interesting as Brainiac might be, he could come off as being a bit cheesy and unrealistic. I know that this is Superman and nothing is really that realistic, but sometimes his villains can turn out to be Star Wars rip offs. Metallo, a mercenary for hire, could be a great threat to Superman. With his Kryptonite heart and his metal body, Superman would be in grave danger. With Luthor's knowledge and money on his side as well, Metallo can prove to be a greater danger, not only to Superman, but to the city of Metropolis.

So, once again, if you're looking for a physical/psychological fight-Brainiac is the right choice (he also fits in with the whole New Krypton storyline for SR).

But, if you're looking for a spectacular eye candy fest with a super-powered foe with strength that can match Superman's-Metallo is the one.

Which is better?

Computer vs. Alien

Man of Metal vs. Man of Steel

I would like to see villains that have never been in a superman movie...i like Zod and his patners but they have been done. If superman Returns is making new waves for new movies id rather see villains team up like Parasite and Metallo as the main villains and a appearance by Superboy or Supergirl helping. The last movie I want to see Doomsday and the death of Superman just so the movie goes out in a awsome way.

The day that Superboy and Supergirl are introduced in this franchise is the day that it dies and becomes just like the infamous Batman franchise.

Doomsday isn't really that great of a villain. He's just some dumb giant that's strong. The only thing he's famous for is the death of Superman. I don't think that storyline would translate well on screen. Having clones and Eradicator and all that junk...leave it on the comic book pages.

The last movie needs to be something epic and exciting. I don't think Darkseid will ever be introduced, nor do I think Apocalypse will be introduced in the X-Men films. Both characters, while amazingly cool, are a bit too far fetched.

Here's what I would do.

SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL

Villain- Metallo, Lex Luthor

SUPERMAN: LAST SON OF KRYPTON

Villain - Brainiac, Luthor (Lexiac possibly)

 

[aroundthefur33]

darkseid would be cool, but i am betting on brainaic, luthor...

 

[Shadow_Knight]

I really don't gie a crap about Superman but still I'll still vote.

I voted for Bizzarro.

 

[Lightning54SC]

brainiac, luther and metallo..... brainiac gives luther the idea to creating metallo

 

[GarudA]

Darkseid, his just so cool far more interesting and can give Superman a beat in, I would love to know how they would use him in the movie, explain where he comes from and what he wants.

 

[Spike_x1]

I'd rather Darkseid and the whole Fourth World crew be used in their own movie. God knows they deserve it. Cramming them into a Superman movie wouldn't do them justice.

Lex creates the Parasite for me.

 

[The Question]

I think Brainiac should show up, and create Parasite and Metallo as a means of testing Supes, and later simply having them as people to fight Supes on his behalf. Eventually, Metallo (and maybe Parasite, although I doubt he'd care) would turn on Brainbiac when he finds out what he plans to do to the Earth.

 

[arty2]

Bring on Darkseid!!!!

 

[GreenKToo]

Brainiac or Darkseid.

 

[Sub-Zero]

parasite would be the awesome. he's one of the few who could hold his own against superman, and he could go after supes's loved ones once he's drained supes and learns everything about him. and if they go with the alien invasion route, brainiac and or darksied would be badass. i just want to see someone who doesn't have kryptonite to fight supes.

 

[Ultimate Josh]

well a brief description of what I would like as villains in the sequel will be...

Superman Returns sequel

Metallo, with Lex and Brainiac behind building him.

Superman returns 3
Brainiac, with Bizzaro as a pawn in the beging of the film, and Lex build the ultimate body for Brainiac, Brainiac overpowers Lex. Brainiac goes in a rampage. Superman has an intense fight with him.

The types of fight sequences I would like would would be as follows.

Metallo, a ground fight. Superman uses his powers like laser vision, arctic breath to try and stall. lots of punches and kick's. I would like it if it was very intense. number of fights through out the movie. With Richard dying. If you read my Superman returns detailed Summary you will know why sort of.also in this battle Superman bleeds so that's what makes Bizzaro, in Superman Returns 3. I think about 3 battles, with the last one being the longest, and most dramatic, and intense

Bizarro, air battle. They fight in the air and clash against each other. They punch each other through wall's, they tackle each other. They have pretty intense air fight. number of fights 1

Brainiac, This is the best battle out of Bryans trilogy. Lex has created with Brainiacs knowledge of the universe , the strongest machine. Brainiac is downloaded on to the powerful body and is soooo strong, that Superman has to go full rage!! The trick is Brainiac can also learn Superman's Powers!! Brainiac can absorb what he wants to! If he wants heat vision, watch superman do it learn it use it! He can also learn how to gain the suns energy, so Superman has to also use his brain, to defeat this destroyer of planets...
number of fights 1.

Thats what I think on villains, and battles.

 

[Ben Urich]

I'd love to see Luthor somehow become a legitimate businessman (I never liked him being motivated by land) and invest heavily in cloning, thus creating Bizarro.

 

[Anunnaki]

Superman needs lots of villains ganging up and beating him up all at the same time.

I have a crazy idea. Why don't they resurrect the entire Legion of Doom of the old Challenge of the Superfriends cartoons, this time with an adult twist. That flying time-traveling Hall of Doom would be cool. Just needs a Bryan Singer or Tim Burton touch.

Huh? Superman alone vs. The Legion of Doom?

Question: Won't he need the Justice League for this?
Answer: Nope. He can do it alone and that's exciting.

For those of you who were not born yet when the Legion appeared onscreen 20 years ago, here's the member list:

Lex Luthor
Braniac
Solomon Grundy
Gorilla Grodd
Sinestro
Giganta
Cheetah
Capt. Cold
Bizarro
Scarecrow
Toyman
Riddler
Black Manta

 

[Immortalfire]

Why bother with villains that can actually offer a challenge, when we can have another diabolical real estate scheme?

 

[Borat]

I would love Darkseid or Doomsday maybe for the 3rd film. Brainiac for the next one just makes the most sense to me.

 

[Robin91939]

SUPERMAN RETURNS: Lex Luthor
SUPERMAN: Brainiac, Metallo, and Lex Luthor
SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL: Darkseid

-R

 

[Sub-Zero]

luthor should stay on that island. bring on metallo, bizarro, parasite, cadmus, and inter-gang all in the same movie. it'll be great!

 

[DorkyFresh]

parasite would be the awesome. he's one of the few who could hold his own against superman, and he could go after supes's loved ones once he's drained supes and learns everything about him. and if they go with the alien invasion route, brainiac and or darksied would be badass. i just want to see someone who doesn't have kryptonite to fight supes.

yeah i think Parasite is the only villain i can see Singer using. at least he's the only villain i can imagine working for a sequel. all of Superman's other villains are either corny or too sci fi-ish. i know Superman IS a sci fi but he's not sci fi the way Star Wars or Star Trek are.

 

[Aren]

Brainiac :d

 

[Spike_x1]

GENIUS!!

 

[Savage]

Brainiac. He could be part of the fortress, manipulating Superman through his own father's image...But I'd rather save that for a 3rd movie since he's like...the Ultimate of Superman villains imo. For the second movie I'd like it to be Metallo. I could see him being created by Lex. I like Parasite and I want him to be included but...I'm having trouble seeing how...He seems like the type deserving of his own movie really.

 

[KON - EL]

it has to brainiac no doubt about it.

 

[Ben Urich]

Brainiac is the Ra's al Ghul to Superman. Really his biggest threat (apart from maybe Darkseid).
