The film follows, Superman and Supergirl tried to save Earth and other planets from Brainiac, a usually depicted as an extraterrestrial android or cyborg, who shrinks planets or cities to add them to his collection.

### Plot

Offering herself as a hostage, Lois Lane is caught in an aerial confrontation between her terrorist captors, The Intergang and Supergirl before Superman arrives to save the day and bring Lois to safty.

### Dating Problems

Soon after, knowing Superman's civilian identity, Lois attempts to get Clark Kent to make their relationship public despite his fear of the consequences, but their argument is halted by a *Daily Planet* staff meeting before Clark leaves after being alerted to an approaching meteor.

### A Fight With The Brainiac Bot

Intercepting it, Superman learns the meteor is actually a robot. Superman fights the robot in the desert and promptly defeats before activating its beacon and taking it to the Fortress of Solitude.

### Brainiac

Supergirl knows about this robot and Superman learns the robot is actually a drone controlled by a being named Brainiac, a Coluan scientist who subjected himself to extensive enhancements, turning him into a muscular, red-eyed giant with computer-like components and enhanced physical abilities comparable to Superman's. Supergirl, horrified at seeing Brainiac, reveals her experience with the monster. Brainiac had seized and miniaturized Krypton's capital city of Kandor prior to the planet's destruction with her parents attempting to track him down before they mysteriously lost contact with Krypton. She is now worried that Brainiac will do to the world what he did to Kandor.

### Finding Brainiac

Fearing more drones will come, Superman flies through the galaxy with a Kryptonian spacecraft in an attempt to track down Brainiac before finding his drones attacking a planet. Though he attempts to stop them, Superman witnesses Brainiac capture the planet's capital like he did with Kandor before firing a missile to consume the planet in its exploding sun. The explosion knocks Superman unconscious, and he is brought on board Brainiac's ship.

### The First Encounter With Brainiac

Coming to in the examination room, he fights his way through the vessel before discovering a room full of bottled cities and being attacked by Brainiac. At this point, confirming that he spared Krypton because of its eventual destruction, it is shown that Brainiac has been collecting information on all the planets he visited before destroying them. Using Superman's spacecraft and his telepathic abilities, Brainiac discovers that he has been living on Earth. Brainiac decides to chart a course to Earth while sending Superman into Kandor.

### Escaping From Kandor

Inside Kandor, his strength waning due to the artificial red sun, Superman meets some old friends of his father. They explain that Brainiac was instructed to learn all that is knowable about the galaxy. Being a cyborg, Brainiac interpreted his directive literally and realized that he could not achieve this goal because life keeps changing. His knowledge of one world would become out-of-date as soon as he moved on to the next world. Brainiac therefore destroys civilizations after studying them so that they cannot change further, thus leaving him with literally complete and up-to-date knowledge of them.

Superman formulates a plan and escapes Kandor using the subjugator robots. From there, Superman disables Brainiac's ship and takes Kandor with him back to Earth. At that time, Lois learns from Supergirl why Superman left and alerts the Pentagon of a possible invasion by Brainiac, who eventually repairs his ship and went to Earth.

### The Invasion

Brainiac arrives on Earth and attacks Metropolis with his army. Despite everyone doing their best to fend his drones off, Superman and Supergirl joined the fight and defeated all of the robots but Metropolis is encased in a bottle and both Superman and Supergirl are captured.

### The Final Fight With Brainiac

Having hooked Superman up to his ship, Brainiac reveals that Earth offers nothing to him, tortures Superman by overloading his mind with data, and attempts to destroy the planet. However, telling his captor what Earth means to him, Superman breaks free and then frees Supergirl and convinces her to stop the Solar-Aggressor from hitting the sun. Remembering Zor-El's words about Brainiac's ideals, Superman knocks him out of the ship and they crash into a swamp. As he fights Brainiac, Superman uses his powers to destroy Brainiac but his cyborg tried to attack Superman but he combusts.

### Earth's Supers of Steel

After restoring Metropolis, taking Kandor to another planet similar to Krypton to restore its normal size, and establishing a Kryptonian colony where they can rebuild, Superman makes his love life with Lois public with a marriage proposal.

### The Post Credit Scene
