Supergirl is stealing Brainiac from Superman???

Is this true???

That’s the rumor. It would be a bitter irony if we finally got a film Brainiac and he doesn’t even fight Supes but it looks like they plan on just waiting for Cavill’s contract to expire so they can reboot Superman.

A maddening rumor, but as of now just a rumor.

Good God I really hope they dont do this! They need to have supergirl introduced in a man of steel sequel. She shouldn't be given a standalone film at first.

Was there actually an article or press release discussing a MoS2 script using Brainiac, or is this just fan chatter?

Brainiac should have been used in a Superman movie long before now, but they seem to only want to use Luthor and Zod. After 40 years and six movies using Brainiac in a Supergirl film feels more like adapting a villain the film studios refuse to use.

Ideally she should be, but I think they could even get away with doing a solo movie for her first if it was done right. She should not get Brainiac's grand introduction though. I've said it before, by Cyborg Zor-El would be the perfect villain for her with Brainiac as the unseen Big Bad responsible for his creation. Then she AND Clark fight Brainiac proper in the next Superman movie where they meet.

And they need to meet at some point. Her not interacting with him should not go beyond this first film if it ends up happening. It would be distratingly bad if Superman cannot interact with his cousin and ONLY surviving relative on screen.

Who is that as Supergirl? Is that just some CGI image?
