Superman, metallo, and Livewire in Superman The Animated Series

Summary Superman: The Animated Series featured a swathe of incredible villains who would flourish in a live-action DCU movie. While many classic Superman: TAS foes have appeared prominently throughout the DCU timeline, several incredible adversaries have only appeared in live-action in television series. Others, meanwhile, have never been adapted outside of animation, despite their impeccable appearances in Superman: The Animated Series that prove how effective they would truly be.

Given her compelling portrayal in Superman: The Animated Series, Granny Goodness would make a fantastic live-action villain. Indeed, Granny Goodness appeared very briefly in Zack Snyder’s Justice League and Smallville. However, neither explored the villain to her full potential. Her character provides an opportunity to explore themes of loyalty, indoctrination, and the corrupting influence of power.

Brainiac’s character brings a unique blend of scientific intellect and ruthless efficiency, contrasting with Superman's humanity and moral compass. Despite appearances in TV shows like Smallville and Krypton, Brainiac has yet to make his live-action movie debut. The character's rich backstory and the dramatic tension he introduces would translate well to the big screen.

Livewire’s motivations stem from a personal vendetta against Superman, fueled by her belief that he ruined her career. This personal grudge, combined with her newfound powers, makes her a relentless and unpredictable foe. Despite appearances in Smallville and Supergirl, Livewire has yet to appear in a live-action DCU movie. Her vibrant character and distinctive abilities would translate well to the big screen, offering a modern and edgy antagonist for the DCU.

4 Bizarro Was A Monstrous Presence Bizarro Was Voiced By Tim Daly Close Bizarro proves to be a dynamic and uniquely sympathetic villain in Superman: The Animated Series. Bizarro is presented not as a “mirror image” of the Man of Steel, but more akin to a Frankenstein's monster. Created from a failed cloning experiment, Bizarro gains Superman's powers but lacks his intellect and understanding of the world. This portrayal emphasizes his tragic nature, evoking both fear and pity.
