Superman Villain? Not Lex Luthor!

It appears that infamous Latino Review site has gotten a scoop that Warner Brothers is soliciting scripts for the next Superman film that will feature a villain that is anyone but Lex Luthor.

According to El Mayimbe,

“At the moment, the execs haven’t heard anything they like yet but the kicker is that WB wants a NEW VILLAIN from Superman’s Rogues Gallery to be the main antagonist…NOT LEX LUTHOR! Writers have been told to come in to the studio to pitch a story with a new villain but again, the WB hasn’t bit on anything they heard yet. In fact, Luthor is going to take a back seat. Whether he is altogether out or reduced to a contagonist character in the new script remains to be seen.”

So I have to say that I am probably in agreement with most people when I say this is a great idea. Like many sites have probably mentioned or will mention, it worked for Batman Begins, why not Superman. Using a lesser known villiain gives you an opportunity to bring something completely new that hasn’t been seen by the generations of Superman film watchers. I liked Lex Luthor but his whole “beach front property” obsession was getting old. I think Brainiac, Doomsday, Darkseid or even Zod are good ways to go.
