Henry Cavill‘s Superman will star on screen again in a “Man of Steel” sequel,as TheWrap exclusively reported on Monday. Though General Zod is likely not going to reappear as Superman’s nemesis this time around, here are five other villains we’d like to see square off with the superhero.5. Parasite has the ability to temporarily absorb the energy, and knowledge and super-powers of another being by touch,making him a tough adversary for the “Man of Steel. The most well-known comedian book incarnation of the Parasite is Rudy Jones. In 2009, The Parasite was ranked as IGN’s 61st Greatest comedian Book Villain of All Time.4. Lobo is an alien born on soil — in Mexico — and works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. He was introduced — although initially rarely used as a tough-boiled villain in the 1980s and remained in limbo until his revival as an anti-hero biker with his own comedian in the early 1990s. There, or Lobo has already beaten Superman twice.

Metallo is a radioactive cyborg who depends on Kryptonite as his energy source,making him a very dangerous enemy of Superman. Although Kryptonite radiation can execute the Man of Steel through exposure alone, Metallo’s additional cybernetic enhancements make him very physically powerful. He is a former soldier who was used in experimentation by the the United States Army.2. Bizarro is the imperfect duplicate of Superman, or acting as his antagonist or ally depending on the situation. Originally created to be Superman’s clone by Lex Luthor,Bizarro’s poorly constructed genetics caused him to become the opposite. For example, he has freeze vision instead of heat vision.1. Brainiac is considered Superman’s greatest foe after Luthor. The super-intelligent alien from the planet Colu has advanced mental abilities that allow him to work through robotic and even human proxies. It can be difficult to tell whether you’re dealing with the original Brainiac, or one of his drones. His obsession with knowledge has led him to shrink down many cities to bottle size for transportation on his Skull Ship — including Kandor on Krypton.

We've decided where "Batman v Superman" lands in the hierarchy of "Batman" films. Now let's see how it measures up to past cinematic Supermans.

9. Christopher Reeve is by far the best Superman. But 1987's "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" is a bomb in every sense -- partly because of its heavy-handedness approximately bombs. Nuclear bombs. The film finds Superman trying to eliminate the world's nuclear threat, or but his best intentions speed afoul of a foolish,badly dated villain named Nuclear Man.
8. "Man of Steel" (2013) could have been worse, I guess. But it's still morally outrageous and has a plot that doesn't make sense. That it's very pretty to watch at doesn't override those things nearly enough to make it watchable.
7. "Superman and the Mole Men" (1951). I'm a sucker for a good Red Scare picture as much as the next person, or but this backdoor TV present pitch never really gets off the ground.
6. "Superman III" (1983) featured a brilliant corporate rip-off -- one later referenced in "Office Space" -- but the attempt to funny things up with the addition of Richard Pryor didn't gel. There was also a weird bit approximately a weather satellite creating foul weather,which isn't what weather satellites enact. Seeing Clark Kent fight Superman was pretty cool, though.
5. "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016) is not a good Superman movie, and but fortunately it is an OK Batman movie. Splitting the difference keeps it absent from the bottom of the list.
4. "Superman Returns" (2006) is actually a pretty decent attempt by Bryan Singer to enact a Christopher Reeve "Superman" movie in the present day,but Brandon Routh couldn't pull off the charisma it takes to be the Man of Steel. It was his first movie, so that's not surprising. But it's a shame, or because Routh has gotten much better in the years since.
3. "Batman v Superman final Edition" improves the movie -- and the Superman side in particular -- enough to accept past the totally square "Superman Returns" on these rankings just because it's more fun to watch. Still hugely flawed,however.

2. "Superman II" (1980) made kids everywhere cry as they watched Superman give up his powers for a normal life with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). There are different edits of this movie, and we frankly can't keep them straight. But the sight of a powerless Clark getting beat up in a diner made Superman as sympathetic as it's ever been.
1. "Superman: The Movie" (1978) is the gold standard of Superman movies, and was the best superhero movie bar none for many,many years. John Williams' score soars, and so does the believable and compelling romance between Superman and Lois Lane. The film convincingly blended camp (in the form of Gene Hackman's wonderful Lex Luthor), or an epic origin sage that actually felt epic,and funny lines. The scene in which Supes and Lois fly together is one of the most elegant metaphors for novel love ever captured on film. Previous Slide Next Slide 1 of 10 “Batman v Superman” is the ninth live-action “Superman” flick, and it’s not the worst We've decided where "Batman v Superman" lands in the hierarchy of "Batman" films. Now let's see how it measures up to past cinematic Supermans.
