Episode Summary |
| |
Thanks to Lex Luthor's interception of Brainiac's transmission, the latter's eternal quest for knowledge has led him to that tiny planet in the Milky Way: Earth. Brainiac, though, has no interest in dealing with Luthor, and instead is eager to reunite the last two Kryptonians, himself and Superman. This revelation of another survivor of Krypton – albeit artificial intelligence – leaves Superman bewildered. Everything becomes clear, however, after Superman experiences a prophetic dream revealing Brainiac's callous modus operandi.

Episode Notes |
| |
Brainiac has been traveling throughout the Universe and gathering information about several planets since "The Last Son of Krypton."
| This episode features for the first time the place what will later be known as Superman's 'Fortress of Solitude.' It is located in the Arctic.
| The large back truck appearing in the beginning of this episode is basically and large model of the Batmobile from Batman: TAS.
| When Brainiac first establishes contact with Luthor and then his holographic image disappears, there are two frame shots of Krypton blowing up in-between the shots.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Councilman: So, Mr. Luthor, how long did you intend to keep your rendezvous a secret? In case you haven't heard there's a thing known as National Security.
Lex Luthor: There's also a thing known as free enterprise. It was LexCorp that scanned the heavens, it was LexCorp that made contact and it will be LexCorp that reaps the benefits.
| Brainiac: I apologize for any discomfort, but it was important that I accurately gauged your powers.
Superman: Why? Morbid curiosity?
Brainiac: Curiosity, yes. Morbid, hardly. You see we have more in common than you could possibly know, Kal-El.
Superman: How do you know my name? Have you been to Krypton?
Brainiac: I am Krypton.
| Superman: It was several hours after I touched the orb that I saw the images. It's too soon to trust him completely.
Lex Luthor: (laughs) I never trust anyone completely. Since Brainiac arrived I've had him targeted from land base platforms with a payload of six and a half megatons. Enough firepower to incinerate Metropolis county.
Superman: "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."
Lex Luthor: Precisely. Although in your case, I'll make an exception.
| Superman: You destroyed those planets, didn't you? And every living soul on them!
Brainiac: Only their knowledge was important. It was what I was programmed to collect and protect.
Superman: But why kill?
Brainiac: The few beings who have the knowledge, the more precious it becomes.
Superman: You're insane!
| Brainiac: You are your father's son, Kal-El. Headstrong, foolish, easily defeated and ultimately forgotten.
| Programmer: It'll take years to rebuilt these systems.
Lex Luthor: You have two weeks.
