This week on Superman: The Animated Podcast, I talk about S02E14 – Ghost in the Machine. Hiroyuki Aoyama returns as the director, writers for the episode are Paul Dini, Bob Goodman, Alan Burnett, Hilary Bader, Stan Berkowitz and Rich Fogel.
In this episode – Brainiac’s consciousness takes control of LexCorp’s computer systems and traps Luthor in his own laboratory, forcing him to rebuild Brainiac’s primary body in secret. After Clark questions why Lex is missing from his office, Superman and Mercy Graves team up to investigate his disappearance.
The episode stars Tim Daly as Superman/Clark Kent, Dana Delany as Lois Lane, Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor, Corey Burton as Brainiac and Lisa Edelstein as Mercy Graves.
I really enjoyed this episode, I always enjoy when they bring back a good villain, especially Brainiac. I like how we found out a little bit of Mercy Graves’ backstory. I know that I brought up a lot of knit picking throughout the episode, but overall it had a good plot, good use of the characters and you ask the question at the end, will Brainiac be back.
