Superman ’78 Comic Sequel Should Use His Strangest Villain
Superman ’78 brought back the continuity of Richard Donner’s classic superhero films, telling an exciting new story with an original version of Brainiac, but the series should use the strangest Superman foe if it continues. Donner’s plans for Superman III would have introduced Brainiac and Supergirl to the film franchise, and while Donner’s vision of the film was scrapped, both characters joined his universe via the Supergirl spinoff film and the Superman ’78 comics. Another character planned for Superman III, the impish Mr. Mxyzptlk, remains absent from Donner’s universe and thus would be a natural choice for another Superman ’78 miniseries.
