See I prefer Brainiac, as I never like Lex as the “Big Bad” of a Superman story. I prefer him as a constant presence and wildcard. And Brainiac is the most overdue comics villain ever as far as the big screen’s concerned imo. So we will be wishing for opposite things on this one I guess!
I agree on Brainiac being majorly overdue and I won't seriously be upset if he appears, I'm just starting to wonder if it's possible they are saving him for something later down the line.See I prefer Brainiac, as I never like Lex as the “Big Bad” of a Superman story.

Lol yup. And if venom was the refection in spidey's eye.Do you remember when people were literally zooming in on the dark shadow around Cavill's crotch in that first official image, searching for any sign of red pixels?
Yeah, this is nothing yet
I just don’t want this movie to just be setting everything up because it’s a decent chance this will be the only Supes movie we get in this universe. I need it to deliver the goods on its own. Brainiac has ALWAYS been “saved for something later” and that’s why we never get him - Because each time that happens, there never is a “something later.” I am SO freaking sick of that I can’t even tell you lol. It has literally been going on my entire life!
Gunn is sooooo close to putting everything I’ve wanted to see in a Supes movie into this movie, Brainiac is basically the last missing piece. Of course, there are other things I’d love to see in sequels if we get ‘em (Warworld please!), but of the stuff I’ve basically been waiting my whole life for on the big screen (Daily Planet life/staff front and center, Clark/Lois chemistry being key, Clark with a sense of humor, Clark showing what makes him special among other heroes, comics-accurate Lex, etc), this movie seems to be just about covering it from what we know. Brainiac’s just the last thing that needs to crossed off the list for me.
Unless, he or she wasn't included in the press release of it as to not spoil it.
I forgot this was a thing.And the Joker's face being in the smoke behind Affleck's Batmobile.
Look it was a strange time. We had people overanalyzing Cavill's codpiece to see if there were red accents for a Trunks reference.
Okay yeah I can't argue with that. You win. I'm now waving my #teambrainiac bannerI just don’t want this movie to just be setting everything up because it’s a decent chance this will be the only Supes movie we get in this universe.

You remember those kryptonian messages we had to decode to get the trailer countdown?
I loved all that build-up hype! There was a part of me that was hoping they'd do those video production diaries like we got for both SR and MoS, as those seemed great for generating hype (and I personally loved them), but then I remember, neither of those movies performed very well, so the studio now probably sees those kinds of things as a waste of money/resources.
They were definitely fun, but I guess social media wasn't so huge back then. I'm sure we will get a lot of BTS. I mean, at least half the cast in that photo have posted that pic to their insta already.I loved all that build-up hype!

I mean, the fisticuffs could be traded with existing characters like The Engineer or Metamorpho (can absorb the properties of Kryptonite).
Too many of the scoopers, including somewhat credible ones, have said it's Brainiac. Gunn himself hinted at Brainiac. They included Superman: Brainiac in the recommended reading for Legacy. It's not like we're going on blind faith here. They either want us thinking its Brainiac so they can pull a switcheroo, or it's Brainiac.
I'd almost forgotten how much I liked you!
I forgot about Superman: Brainiac being in the recommended reading list.I will also say, I'm very grateful Dune is arriving when in it is. Since this apparently won't start shooting until the latter half of March, the first half of March was gonna be totally agonizing for me if it weren't for the beautiful distraction of Dune.
