INT. SKULL SHIP



Brainiac watches the action on the view screen. L-Ron's voice is

heard over the loud-speaker.



			L-RON (V.O.)

	Jeez, is he a slippery sonova...



			BRAINIAC

	Quickly -- inject the anti-technology.



INT. ATTACK CRAFT



L-Ron punches a button on his control board.



EXT. METROPOLIS SKYLINE



While Superman fights to free himself from the craft, a syringe-

like arm shoots from the craft into the suit, sending a charge

through it. The Eradicator shuts down.



			SUPERMAN

	E -- what's wrong?!



INT. SKULL SHIP



Brainiac is delighted by what he watches. Lex is puzzled.



			L-RON

	The technology's offline, my liege.



			BRAINIAC

	Excellent. Bring it to the loading bay --

	I shall withdraw the Kryptonian from the

	technology, personally.



			LEX

	Kryptonian?! Are you talking about

	Superman?! No, no, no -- Superman's dead!

	We killed Superman!



EXT. SKULL SHIP - NIGHT



The Attack Craft carries Superman-in-the-suit to the rear of the

Skull Ship.



			SUPERMAN

	Not again! Come on, man! Wake up!



			ERADICATOR (V.O.)

	Would you pipe down?



			SUPERMAN

	Why the hell didn't you say something?!



			ERADICATOR (V.O.)

	It's called playing possum, Kal-El. I'm

	not from Earth, and even I know that.

	Diverting power from X-Ray vision cells.

	Get ready.



We hear a SURGE OF POWER charge through the suit, and Superman

breaks free of the attack crafts grip.
