This was supposedly the plot before Richard Pryor wanted in on the movieI can't even think of a pun worthy of this. I'm too busy figuring out if I'm grateful or disappointed this never got made (there's no way it could possibly be good, but I'm sure I'd have fun making fun of it the whole time). (Don't know if it's legit or not, but one never knows...)

From what I read it wasn't very good, but it wasn't much worse than Bryan Singer's "Super Stalker Jesus vs yet another real estate scam from Luthor" version.

Interesting, but not particularly on topic, bit of trivia: Mike Judge originally pitched the idea of "My Dinner with Butthead" to MTV as a Beavis and Butthead film. As you might guess from Jerry's description of "Andre," above, the story would have been Beavis and Butthead sitting around for two hours talking about art, theater and music. He later turned the idea into an ep of the series.

Heh.
I rented my Dinner with Andre twice but fell asleep both times before it was even on for 10 minutes.
Maybe I should buy the movie for when I can't sleep...

I've never seen "Andre," but I'm surprised its that boring given that Wallace Shawn is in it. He's usually pretty fun to watch (cue "Princess Bride" quotes here).

Brainiac's purpose from then on is to create a machine which will affect Superman's personality (this will have to be very carefully explained for the children and will have to show Brainiac moving various buttons and somehow showing how each button will make Superman either violent, melancholic or sarcastically funny. LOIS: Superman! Why are you being so sarcastically funny to me? SUPERMAN: No, Lois, why are YOU being so sarcastically funny! HAHAHAHA

(Obviously Clark Kent will also be affected by these same reactions alternatively. i.e. Clark Ken slaps Perry White when asked to correct one of his own articles.)

Brainiac now also realises that Supergirl had contacted Superman with her X-ray vision, (so that he could come to her rescue,) which confirms that Supergirl loves Superman and not Brainiac.

Yeah I read the script. Bad bad bad. Maybe it should be altered to fit Smallville.
If that hasn't been done already.

Brainiac then, with Supergirl, activates his elaborate machinery which takes them into the past, (into the era of feuds nobles and serfs). Brainiac of course becomes a ruthless tyrant with the serfs.

Superman zooms into the future, finds Mr. Mxyzptlk, agrees on a deal with him so that he will help. They both reappear and Mr. Mxyzptlk with his awesome powers sends the whole town into another dimension where neither Superman, nor Supergirl, nor Brainiac have any powers. They fight as two ancient knighs with armour, horses (lances etc), with Supergirl handing over her white scarf to Superman (the White Knight) and the black scarf being handed to Brainiac (the Black Knight) by Lana, who not ever having had superpowers, is still under the effect of Brainiac's power.

(Mr. Mxyzptlk) then breaks up the streets and the people into a gigantic puzzle and gives Superman one to put the puzzle together, if not, he will send the unfinished puzzle to the planet Mercury.

I've just read the synopsis. It's not worse than either Superman III, Supergirl or any Superman comic published 1970/early 1980's. Some tweaking could make this a decent movie.
