Earlier today, DC Comics fans were met with a unique surprise, when the very first look at Krypton‘s incarnation of Brainiac was officially revealed.

The iconic DC villain has had several different incarnations over the years, most notably through James Marsters’ portrayal on Smallville. But Krypton‘s version, played by Blake Ritson, provides a pretty surprising aesthetic, which some would argue feels ripped right out of the pages of DC Comics.
As you would expect, Krypton fans and skeptics alike have had quite a response to this first look. Here’s a round-up of some of those reactions to the first look at Krypton‘s Brainiac.

The look of Brainiac in #Krypton has peaked my interest of the show. Looks amazing. Looks just like you would want him to look. pic.twitter.com/Smb6wfBHrA

Not gonna lie,#Brainiac looks fucking sick,can’t wait for #Krypton,it has so much potential of being a great show,with all of the Kryptonian mythology from the comics,they can make a fantastic series.

What did I tell y’all?? Don’t dismiss @SYFY because they aren’t here to play. This looks amazing. I was looking forward #Krypton after I first heard the premise but this Brainiac pic sells the show by itself pic.twitter.com/5GdrlP7K2p

Will Brainiac get a “decent pair of pants” in #Krypton though?
