Who is the greatest DC villain? If your answer was one of the baddies from Batman’s rogues' gallery, that makes a lot of sense. The Riddler, the Joker, Catwoman, and the Penguin are all perhaps more memorable than Superman’s foes like Darkseid or even Lex Luthor. (Plus, who even remembers Metallo?) But, with the 2027 Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, one Supe villain might be finally getting his due.
And, thanks to some surprising casting, one comics-famous Supe villain, Brainiac, will be appropriately creepy as hell. Actor Lars Eidinger has been confirmed to be playing Brainiac in the 2027 Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow. But who is this actor? And will this casting finally make Brainiac cool?
