Recently, Zack Snyder spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the potential villains that have been rumored to appear in Batman v Superman and Justice Leauge (via Screenrant):
“I remember talking about ‘What’s the next villain? We can’t do another alien invasion.’ Brainiac was definitely down the road. Metallo, I think, was going to be the main bad guy of this movie.”
In the DCU Metallo, John Corben is was a low level criminal, with (at one time) ties to the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents, turned Kryptonite powered cyborg.
Brainiac is high powered, super intelligent alien/android who is often (although not originally) portrayed as a Kryptonian invention with ties to the destruction of the Superman’s homeworld.
Both Brainiac and Metallo have been featured in various forms of media, including animated films and TV shows,and were both seen in the live action series Smallville, played by James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Brian Austin Green (90210) respectively.
