Superman: Brainiac Attacks
Editorial Review:
Description: Superman, about to
finally divulge his identity and his feelings to Lois Lane,
suddenly finds his mighty hands full when Brainiac, a powerful
computer, bent on universal domination and Lex Luthor team up
to defeat him. Armed with new weapons and a special strain of
kryptonite infused in his body, Brainiac becomes the most
powerful enemy The Man of Steal has ever faced. When Lois Lane
is critically injured by a force beam that was intended for
him, Superman must race into the mysterious Phantom Zone to
find a cure. Brianiac, believing Superman to be dead, betrays
Lex Luthor and begins his attack on the city of Metropolis and
ultimately Earth. Will Superman survive the Phantom Zone in
order to defeat his deadly foes, save Lois and
Metropolis?
Amazon.com: The direct-to-DVD
animated feature Superman: Brainiac Attacks pits
Superman against two of his longest-running foes: Lex Luthor
and the robotic Brainiac. Luthor's scheme is to re-jigger
Brainiac's configuration using a combination of Superman's DNA
and a rare form of Kryptonite to make him an unstoppable
weapon against the Man of Steel. Fans of TV's Superman: The
Animated Series will be pleased to note the return of Tim
Daly and Dana Delany, who reprise their roles as Superman and
Lois Lane from the show, but hardcore
Superman/Justice League Unlimited viewers may
regret the loss of Clancy Brown's formidable performance as
Luthor (who is voiced here by Powers Boothe), as well as Corey
Burton as Brainiac (here handled by Lance Henriksen). Also
missing is the series' adherence to its DC Comics origins and
its serious tone, which here is blunted by Duane (The
Batman, Jackie Chan Adventures) Capizzi's frothy
script, which hews closer to a combination of the
Superman films and broad comedy. --Paul
