Luthor is too overdone. I'm pulling for Brainiac. Nolan went with Ra's in Batman Begins and I hope he uses another underutilized villain for Superman.

The thing with braniac is... he's cool in powers... boring in execution.  He wants to assimilate all knowledge of the planet, then destroy it... and he's a computer.  You'd need him working with someone at the very least.

Which is largely the problem with most superman villians.  They don't do the kind of plotting you need to get you through the movie BEFORE the big fight scene.

 

Darkseid maybe for example.

Would Darkseid work in a movie context though? Like Thanos, I cannot see him working well in movies without changes in character or a major change is ideal.

Now Lex with creation of Doomsday would maybe suit a movie better.
