The Villain of Tomorrow Thread

[donuts]

Yeah, but I don't think that'd be a good comparison. Aquaman 2 was a very troubled production.

And then the release even more so.

 

[Boom]

I expect Brainiac but I want Mongul.

 

[solidsnake86]

Brainiac would be my guess just got the story potential.

Unless Gunn wants a less obvious choice and wants to take Mongol and reinvent him.

It would be hilarious if it was Zod. I would like to see bloodsport make a return at some point. Rounding out Superman's rogues gallery on film and finally getting to see metallo, parasite and bizzaro would be cool. Given that Luthor made a clone, those villains are more likely to show up somewhere down the line as Luthor creations.

I think the villain of Man of Tomorrow will probably come out of one of those portals in Peacemaker’s father’s pocket dimension doors. We will probably get a glimpse in episode 8. I wonder if Waller will finally show up. She would be a good side villain in Man of Tomorrow.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Anyone, literally ANY villain but Zod. I heard someone suggesting how “perfect” he would be for this and I got infuriated.

But preferably a SUPERMAN villain. Not Darkseid or some other villain associated with other characters. Brainiac is my obvious pick but I’ll take Metallo (he’d be my second pick), Mongul, Parasite, even Mxy over someone mostly associated with other superheroes or teams like the JL. That said, I would take Kite Man as the villain over ***ing Zod again.

Actual superheroes.

Cliff Burton mysteriously returns from the dead, and challenges Brainiac on a bass duel. Which of course even Superman by then had realised it's the only way to save the world. Brainiac seems to hold on for a while, but when Cliff shows his real skill - mastering harmonies - the defeat is final. Superman invites Cliff to Justice Leage, but he hesitates since he now feels it's his mission to steer back Metallica to when they were really great.

That last bit of art is horrible. Kara is too busy trying to pretend to be a model while Clark is protecting Kandor from Brainiac.

Totally agree. Also an example of bad art: Eg her left leg (or really her lower body over all) doesn't make any sense at all anatomically, and I usually oversee stuff like that when it comes to comics art. Btw, did Supergirl actually had skimpy suits/dresses like this at some point in comics? I think I've seen some cosplayer looking kinda like this, but don't remember it otherwise. Well, whatever..

On an on topic note though, I feel like a boring predicable person here but: Can we please have Brainiac this time? Please?

That pic is from an actual Superman comic, so yes.

I saw a video that claimed (with no sources) that Doomsday is rumored to be the villain in this.

I have to assume it’s all BS (and they even said as much in the video) but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Gunn. Don’t use Doomsday. That would be even more monumentally stupid than bringing back Zod again. I doubt he will but I can’t believe that character is even rumored at this point after the debacle that was BvS and the fact that the only reason anyone would ever want to use him would just be to do the death of Superman again.

 

[GreenKToo]

I have to believe it's brainiac. Erebody and their brother is begging for him...

The guy who did the video about Doomsday is poking fun at the cult because they believe Gunn is stealing ideas for Henry’s alleged Man of Steel 2. He is total click baiter when it comes to them.

Oh okay lol that makes me feel better

Peacemaker season 2 is supposed to lead into Man of Tomorrow. The only villain hint I have seen so far is all the villains breaking out of Bel Reive, Arkham, ect….. We have a ways to go in Peacemaker but I think we have a chance to see Livewire, Metallo, and Parasite in Man of Tomorrow. Still don’t see any hints at Brainiac or Mungol.

 

[SupermansPal]

Livewire, Metallo, and Parasite

None of these are a big enough threat to warrant Superman to team up with his nemesis.

That’s possible, but I think with Peacemaker it’s still a bit too early to tell. I’m not sure they will hint at the great threat in MoT, though there has been some speculation that the QuC tech could be how Brainiac shrinks down cities.

That said, I would agree that Peacemaker is more likely to lead into whatever ends up happening with Lex (possibly Flag having him released from Belle Reve) and even teaming up with antiheroes like Peacemaker or other minor villains also in prison. I doubt the show will majorky foreshadow who beer the BIG bad is, though maybe they’ll hunt at something.

Yeah, in order for Superman to team up with Lex, there needs to be a good reason.

Yeah but they could be side characters leading up to the big bad. We have the Justice gang, why not have a junior legion of doom.

What type of hint would for shadow Brainiac or Mungol? I hope it’s the Ghost in the machine like STAS. Lex had to create Brainiac’s body. Very good episode. I don’t know how you for shadow War World.

I guess for War World you could have an actual portal open up to it? Maybe that’s what that weird Elden Ring looking world is that we saw in the trailer. Probably not but maybe?

Well we should find out something next week. I am going to binge Superman and the 5 season 2 Peacemaker episodes before episode 6 next Thursday. Can’t wait.

IMO, any team-up between Supes and Lex should happen in a third movie. They just had their big confrontation and feels too soon to throw them together again.

Disagree big time. Gunn actually has a plan. Interesting to see how it plays out. People like you probably wants Gunn to rush Batman in so we can have a BVS situation.
