I second that, so long as the bad guy isn't Luthor or Zod, the only two bad guys that can apparently show up in Superman movies. I agree, it's long over due for a Superman film to feature new villians and threats, that we haven't seen in any previous movie before. The problem with Supes, I think, is the lack of a great rogues’ gallery because he’d so easily overpower so many of them. You can’t do much with, say, Toyman or the Prankster because Superman could just pick them up by their necks, drop them on Gilligan’s Island, and be done with them. He won’t, for the sake of the story, any more than he’d kill them, but he could, and that reduces any tension. (With Luthor, he’s got the whole super-intelligence thing going on, so he and Supes are closer to equals, albeit in different ways.) And some of them, notably Mr. Mxyzptlk, I just can’t imagine working well onscreen. That said, there definitely are some villains who would work for the movies. Brainiac, of course, but I also think Hollywood could do a really great movie with Cyborg Superman (maybe just don’t call him that).
