In comic book lore, Supergirl and Brainiac 5 have a long history thanks to their time in the Legion of Super-Heroes. Within some of DC’s timelines, they’re even romantic partners. Considering that she’s Superman’s cousin and he’s the descendant of one of the Man of Steel’s greatest villains, that was no easy feat. Regardless, the pair are off on the wrong foot in an advance scene from the upcoming Legion of Super-Heroes animated film.
Via our sister site, ComingSoon, Supergirl (Meg Donnelly) encounters Brainiac 5 (Harry Shum Jr.) shortly after she arrives in the far future. However, she’s far too quick to assume that he’s her enemy. And for his part, Brainiac 5 is not that interested in explaining her mistake. Especially because he doesn’t believe that she can overcome his advanced technology.

Because Supergirl had trouble adjusting to life on Earth in the present, Superman (Darren Criss) and Batman (Jensen Ackles) arrange for her to attend Legion Academy in the 31st century. Theoretically, it’s the perfect place for her to learn how to be a hero. However, a team of villains called the Dark Circle is targeting the Legion and their academy. Naturally, Supergirl and her new friends will have to find some way to turn them back.
