Superman and Lex Luthor go together like Batman and the Joker, so it may come as a surprise that Warner Brothers executives are actively looking to use a villain other than Luthor for the next
Superman film project. According to El Mayimbe at
Latino Review, the studio is soliciting scripts featuring a new villain from Superman's Rogues Gallery.
Although the studio is listening to pitches, and asking writers to use a different main villain (although it is certainly possible that we could still see Luthor in a minor role), they haven't yet decided on any specific script or villain.
Warner's seems committed to making Superman into as viable a franchise as Batman is, and it is true that the film responsible for re-inventing Batman,
Batman Begins, didn't feature any of Batman's most well-known villains. So, maybe focusing on a villain like Braniac, Metallo, Darkseid, Doomsday, the Toyman or General Zod would work well for the film.
It is worth noting that Kevin Spacey, who played Lex Luthor in
Superman Returns, has gone on record as saying that he'll be back for the sequel, tentatively titled
Superman: The Man of Steel - which seems to contradict this report. Keep reading

Superman film as it becomes available.

BRAINIAC.
yes please
The point of Superman is that he doesn't do those things. He has to continually represent the best in humans (ironic for an alien).
That is why he and Batman find common ground. They believe in the power of redemption from corruption, not just victory over it. He has to constantly keep his powers in check and avoid causing damage, lest he be as bad as those he fights. He's not a fucking Transformer for Christ's sake.
How do you think that WB though of doing World's Finest, some random guy whom was a fan of Batman and Superman wrote a script and posted it online on the net and WB bought it off him.
But then they decided to make 2 franchises instead of one
It was actually written by a fan but WB liked it so much they cut it into seperate pieces, spanned them around on the web then took them off lol.
I managed to get hold of all 4 seperate pieces in PDF Format
The title's also good, but I like the sound of "Superman: Rebirth" better...they both have "er" sounds in them lol
Hugo Weaving for Brainiac
