Shownotes

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Zach Moore (Always Hold On To Smallville) dig into the Kryptonian AI Brainiac as depicted in SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and the DCAU, SMALLVILLE, and the recent MY ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN. Is this the best take on Brainiac yet, or is it one villain from Krypton too many?

Anthony and Zach also compare notes on the notorious 2006 animated movie SUPERMAN: BRAINIAC ATTACKS, which utilized the animation style of STAS and brought back voice actors Tim Daly & Dana Delany — yet recast Brainiac & Lex Luthor and embraced a campier tone.

AND! In a special prologue, guest Tim Bruns pops in to discuss the 1992 Sunsoft video game SUPERMAN, featuring the Post-Crisis Milton Fine Brainiac in 16-bit glory.
