There have been quite a few rumors over the past couple of days from HeroicHollywood about Man of Steel 2 and Brainiac being the villain. But according to BMD, a lot of those plans have been scrapped:
I trust El Mayimbe’s sources, but I suspect that a lot of this stuff is scrapped now, especially as every whisper I hear about Justice League contains the word ‘Brainiac.’ I suspect elements of this story were cannibalized for the eventual team-up as well as BvS, whose main physical threat is, I believe, a cross between traditional Bizarro and another well-known Superman villain**. Plus, if the movie division had serious plans for Supergirl I can’t imagine they would have allowed the new Supergirl TV series to take off (the movie guys removed Suicide Squad from the toys Arrow could play with in advance of the film).
There will be another solo Superman movie some day, and it may even be in the same continuity as Man of Steel, but I am guessing that day is long off, and whatever plans and ideas Snyder had in 2013 will be changed and evolved when the film hits the screen.
The article also hints at how Man of Steel was actually a disappointment for WB at the box office – and with reports stating that executives want more Batman, it could be true.
