Superman

Dawn of Braniac

We enter through the Phantom Zone seeing the Legion of Doom members being escorted out as Amanda Waller explains to Superman that The Phantom Some has not been agreed upon as a prison for high level threats by the UN yet and that she is still working closely to push that agenda. Clark complains but eventually thanks Waller for all of her hard work before they both exit the phantom zone. We then pull out into space to see Kara searching some debris fields. She is able to find a damaged ship which plays a log of what happened. These silver tentacles with pulsating purple energy appear and rip the ship in half then snatching the pilot out into the void of space. Just as Kara is getting ready to zoom back to discuss with Clark a purple glow is seen behind her only letting her get out a faint scream before the purple engulfs the screen. Later that day in Metropolis, a shadow lingers over the city, Lois, Perry, and Jimmy all staring up at it. A floating skull ship sits over top of the city and Superman comes booming out flying towards it. As he begins to question the ship saying they can talk a voice echos out "Talk? Why would I talk to you Kryptonian. You have nothing I don't already have." A beam of energy shoots from the ship, blasting Clark through multiple Metropolis buildings. Braniac begins his invasion and it seems that maybe even Superman may not be enough to stop it.
