James Gunn on 'Man of Tomorrow' villain

Doug Jones would likely kill it as Brainiac. But the only choice? Far from!

Did you see Blake Ritson's Brainiac from the Krypton TV show back in 2018? A very creepy and otherworldly performance! Not that Gunn would likely bring him back for a movie, but he gets my vote!

I never really watched "Krypton." Five minutes of it and decided that it wasn't for me.

This is very old, older than the cartoons. At least 1985, if not earlier (I have no knowledge of silver age Superman)

They rebooted both Luthor and Brainiac a few years before the Crisis, which is when we got Braniac's skull ship and Luthor's power armor. I believe there was at least one storyline where they fought and merged pre-Crisis.

Between already having crisis, whatever happened to the man of tomorrow and the adventure comics number which introduced the Legion, I feel tempted to collect some silver age superman stories that tell a quasi coherent tale. Any advice you have with this?

A single through-line of the pre-Crisis Superman is probably hard to do, but I would check out the World of Krypton miniseries from the late 1970s, maybe the Phantom Zone miniseries from that era (which was very late 1970s) and probably the Luthor and Brainiac reboots from that era. All of the Superman books after the Christopher Reeve movie came out feel pretty coherent with one another and that era gets buttoned up really nicely with Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow.

The Legion from the era leading up to the Crisis was also excellent -- arguably their best run -- but Superboy was less and less important in it in the 1980s, even before he was taken out of LSH continuity with the Crisis.
 

James Gunn knows the way to Superman gold. It's in me Batcvave.

Ever since I saw this thread I keep seeing Ben Gunn instead. Your welcome.
