From page #58:

THE MAJESTIC CAPE of Superman lays over his crumpled, empty costume.

Nothing else.

BRAINIAC

breathing heavy. His first time experiencing a rush of pure emotion. The thrill of the kill.

THE CROWD

dumbstruck. In shock.
Unable to speak.
Total silence.
Staring in disbelief. The police try and keep them back.

BRAINIAC moves to the crater, picking up the cape and crumpled costume. Holding it up for all to see.

Superman's CAPE MAJESTICALLY BILLOWS in the wind, dramatically backlit by the city light...

BRAINIAC
(beat)
I won.


He laughs.

His electrodes glow and crackle.

A WHITE BEAM OF LIGHT SHOOTS DOWN and ENGULFS Brainiac. A beat, and the energy cone vanishes.

Brainiac is gone.
