Mr. Weisman,
First, I find it surprising how Earth-16's Brainiac is neither good nor evil, as opposed to how he is portrayed in the comics and recent television cartoons as an evil character... I guess that means Earth-16's Brainiac had nothing to do with Krypton's destruction after all... What made you decide to make Brainiac so different from all his other counterparts in the DC multiverse.
Second, I felt bad for Superman because he never got the chance to ask Brainiac if anything was collected from Krypton. Do you think Brainiac probably actually DID collect something from Krypton? If so, what are the chances that Brainiac probably preserved the city of Kandor before Krypton's destruction? Would Superman eventually have found out something at some point in time (probably after the events of Season Two)?
Lastly, I'm disappointed that the origin of Superboy's Kryptonian name has not been addressed. Will we find out in the video game, or is this going to be left an open-ended mystery?
Greg responds...
1. I went back to the core of the character's original mission. To collect sample cities from multiple worlds. And I ran with that.
2. I think you should look more carefully at the issues themselves. Beyond that, SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
3. Given enough issues and/or episodes, all would have been covered. Unfortunately, we just didn't get them.
