NOOOO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUSTICE LEAGUE

#SundayRundown - I could be wrong about this, so someone else can chime in if not true, but i'm pretty sure usually, Brainiac is an alien cyborg/android from the planet Colu who arrives on Krypton at some point in time to suck its knowledge up, however much like how BTAS reinvented, say, Mr Freeze's story, STAS and the DCAU was the first bit of Superman media to change it up for Brainiac by having him be literally created on and from Krypton. He still does his usual stuff of stealing its knowledge and then peacing out before it explodes though (it varies between pieces of media whether he actually causes the destruction himself or if it was just naturally gonna explode and he just chooses not to tell the Kryptonians that it's about to blow up, the latter was chosen here of course). Anyway, I personally really like the change. Gives Superman and Brainiac more of a personal connection - both were "born" and "raised" on Krypton and both left it at the same time on completely different paths. Their destinies are forever intertwined kinda thing. Will their paths converge again? What will happen if it does? Watch more STAS and DCAU to find out ;) (Also fun fact, the word "Brainiac" is believed to have come from the character himself, or at least the way we use the word now in modern times)

Damn y'all really.gptta check out My Adventured With Superman. It's so.good and Def can show a very similar Superman to this one.

Super happy but please dear God find a way to drop multiple a week. Once a week is not only a tease but with take until the next presidency to reach Justice League. 😆😆

Roosevelt

oh damn i was kinda hoping that the two parter would be one video but i guess more superman is fine

They are doing a few select episodes of Superman and Batman Beyond before they go to Justice League so they can have some context for certain episodes. If you go to 02:36 of this video https://www.patreon.com/posts/premium-access-150016279 you will see the list of what they are gonna watch.

Bob

thank you steven

Jor-El may not have been voiced by Aladdin(Scott Weinger) by Sul-Van is voiced by Judge Claude Frodo from Hunchback of Notre Dame(Tony Jay)

Unfortunatey it seems Krypto died on krypton. He’s only in this episode, and in another episode there’s an older version of him in a dream Rao is the kryptonian’s main god and also the name of their red sun

Michael Acuna

Dammit, why does this origin always bring me to tears! It's great to see you guys going on this dynamically cool list of episodes.

CJ Dennis

Oh how I wish y'all would react to the part 1s and part 2s in one sitting 😅.

Zeee

Yeah that’s likely

Zeee

#SundaRundown So yeah, Krypto definitely died along with everyone in that explosion. So, RIP lol ☹️ I know Navi complains about origin stories for certain characters but Krypto exploding but there’s been atleast 4-5 different reasons why it did. So the core (the explosion) remains the same but the reasoning often shifts depending on the story Also, going forward for the rest of the episodes and JL/JLU, can the episodes that go together in Parts be dropped in 1?

Darkman30

Nice! But did they do a reaction to the Batman Animated Series? Edit: Oh nevermind then. It seems they're just cutting corners just to watch Justice League without watching the full DCAU series. Sad.

Maurice Gray Jr

#sundayrundown For the love of God PLEASE do multiple episodes in one drop, whether it's a 2 or 3 parter or not. Otherwise this journey will take until the next Olympics

#SundayRundown YEAH!!!! Thanks for doing this before starting Justice League. This way Justice League will hit harder, and you'll have some understanding of some of the side characters and heroes and villains. And you get the greatest hits from Superman: The animated series and Batman Beyond. One big change the animated series did was having Brainiac be made by Kryptonians. That wasn't in the comics. In the comics Brainiac is an alien from a super advanced alien species, but not Krypton. I like this origin of Brainiac. I think it gives Superman a connection to one of his main villains who in comics was just some random alien robot. Also can we do at least two episode drops at a time?

#SundayRundown Great reaction!!! Loving the start of this DCAU journey!!! Brainiac is definitely one of Superman's top villains! Suraj and Chris's reaction to the council asking Brainiac to confirm this potentially world-ending analysis like asking Chatgpt/ grok got me good!! There are sooo many great episodes in this series!! One thing that will become clear when you get to Justice League (though it might not be clear initially) is just how much carries over from Superman The Animated Series. No spoilers ofc but I'm really excited to see all your reactions going forward!!

Glad to see Marketa back on the DC couch. She has been missed.

christopher

I know am in the minority but I do wish they just started Justice League

Ren Davis

Yeah Brainiac has multiple origins. Commonly an alien cyborg from Colu, but he even has one origin where he had a human alias named Milton Fine. Smallville fans would be familiar with that name and he was played by James Marsters!

Shockzz1234

Damn I still need to watch Smallville personally lol. As a huge Buffy fan, I NEED to see James Marsters as Brainiac at some point haha.

#sundayrundown The DCAU was the first time Brainiac is of Kryptonian origin in the comics he’s from a different alien race or a AI/robot. Always like this since it makes him a way more personal enemy to Superman as his interference led to the death of his family and entire society, easily one of the best versions of the character. Krypto went out with the rest of the El family and the planet sadly, but… in an episode that you guys won’t see a villain makes the Kent’s cat fly which is a reference to Streaky the super cat (who probably also died if it did exist). Chris was wrong DCAU Lex isn’t black, his appearance is based on Greek actor Telly Savalas (best known for playing Detective Kojak and Blofled in “Your Majesty’s Secret Service”.

Ludwig's Fishbowl

There's actually a great issue of the Superman Adventures tie-in comic to the DCAU that has a clever but tragic way that brings Krypto back for a bit. Superman Adventures issue 40!

Zeee

I can’t find it. Can you explain it? Update: I just saw it, that was sad

Ludwig's Fishbowl

Glad you found it!!! Yeah, definitely a sad one!!

Ren Davis

“I am the Brain InterActive Construct. No matter my form, my intellect remains formidable. Do not underestimate me.” That line always stuck with me 😂 Smallville also went with Kryptonian AI gone rogue if memory serves. They combined it with the Milton Fine origin.
