This is assuming that another superman movie will be made, of course. Im not really a big Superman fan, so tell me if I missed any notible villians.
I voted Brainiac. If nothing else, I'd love to see an adaptation of Alan Moore's "The Last Superman Story", if for nothing else than to see Kevin Spacey wearing the big evil Brainiac hat. Heh heh.
The little Mr.M ! I always thought Micheal J. Pollard looked like him. Is he still alive? Hmmm.
Why not one-up three of the Batman films as well as the last Spider-Man film and throw all of them in there? :wink:
Remember several years back when Nicholas Cage was going to play Superman?
Wasn't Patrick Stewart supposed to play Braniac?
I remember a guy at Blockbuster telling me that.
I voted for Mr. Mxyzptlk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_Mxyzptlk) by the way.

I'd like to see Luthor and Bizarro, Mr. Mxyzptlk may be a bit too obscure for cinema goers and also a huge amount of effects would be needed for the stuff he can do or does whenever he shows up in the comics.
Metallo. I'm all about the robots (cyborgs, whatever).

I haven't had projectile dairy from my nose since elementary school. Congratulations. :thumbup:
Though the point of the thread is who should be in the movie, here's the likelihood for each of these guys, as based on random numbers taken directly from no particular source:
Lex Luthor - 99% (probably bringing along one of the others as a minion)
Bizarro - 60% (recognizable, could be brought in under the "failed Superman clone" pretense)
Metalo - 50% (could easily be done as a Luthor minion, but doesn't have the mainstream presence that some of the other do)
Mr. Mxyzptlik 2% (as it's been said, the CGI budget to do all his wacky things would be pricey, not to mention he's a comical imp, so basing an attempted blockbuster movie around Superman fighting a comical imp is going to be reeeeeeeally hard to get approval for)
Brainiac 75% (Probably the easiest of the group to recreate in movie form: green makeup and headgear)
Doomsday 85% (Everybody knows the behemoth that killed Superman, and he could easily be either a Luthor creation or salvaged from space by Luthor)
Darkseid 40% (Not as mainstream friendly, you'd have to include his history and Apokalips into the mix, and George Lucas might try to sue :tongueout:)
Mongul - 10% (also not too mainstream friendly and could easily be replaced with Doomsday or Darkseid)

Stiltman is a Daredevil villian, you silly N00b! :tongueout:
I think It should go down like this: Braniac is the big bad guy and either creates Bizzaro or summons him from Htrae (Bizarro world) to deal with Superman but in the very end, Bizarro helps Superman defeat Braniac.
I think it's time for a new direction ...
Superman along with Underdog
vs
Simon Bar Sinister and Braniac
Definitely Brainiac. The question then becomes which version of him? In humanoid form or robotic form...or computer mind form?
The Spectre.
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!!
That's all I've got to say. :)
Well, it looks like Lex Luthor will be back as one of the villains. As Kevin Soacey has signed on to do another "Superman" film.
Doomsday, he kicks his butt once he can do it again .... Mahahahaha!
Bizzaro and Mr. Mxyzptlik are similar in that they aren't really evil, just dangerous because they're so powerful and thhhiilllyyy. I think either of them would work as movie villains, if they were being manipulated by an evil genius like Luthor or Brainiac. I kind of like the multiple villain approach in superhero movie sequels, not that I've ever seen it actually done well (shouldn't just throw in like twelve villains halfhazardly. For the third Spiderman, I was kind of hoping to see the rhrinoceros guy team up with the Kingpin, played by the guy who played him in Daredevil). Broke my heart that Mr. Mxyzptlik wasn't voiced by Jerry Seinfeld in the new animated TV show.
I voted Lex Luthor.
Not for any spectacular reason or anything.
I would say Darkseid. Him alone would be a story of (almost) Lord of the Ring proportion of Darkseid trying and accomplising the takeover of earth. I would also say to add Bizarro as just a nuisance though.

Nope. Done gone from the world. He'd have been spiffy as the M man.
Why not Mr. M as a hassel for both Supes AND Brainiac. Brainiac would be a perfect strait man for him.
Why is Luthor winning? Hes been done before! Lossa times! I voted for Bizzaro. I guess i just really like conflicted villians, like two-face and venom, even though they screwed up both of them on the big screen. Hopefully the upcomming two-face wont be bad, and id DEFFINATLY like to see a beter version of Venom in the future.
