Superman Lives is the title for a Superman movie script intended for production during the 1990s. The movie would feature Lex Luthor, Brainiac, and Doomsday as villains. The project was, however, scrapped; The next Superman movie that was released (after several such scripts being written and then aborted) was Superman Returns.
Plot
The movie centered on a version of The Death of Superman storyline from the comics. The main villain was the alien supercomputer, Brainiac, and he had a plot to kill Superman by simultaneously blotting out the sun and unleashing Doomsday on metropolis. The plot works, and Superman is killed.
Later in the movie, he is ressurected by the Eradicator, who acts as his temporary costume, and artificially produces all of his powers.
