In the trailer above we get our first look at Brainiac from the upcoming SYFY series, “Krypton“. Executive Prod. David Goyer, and President/Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns describes this version of Brainiac to be more of an ancient being to add more to the mythology of the collector of worlds.

Krypton is set 200 years before Kal-El's fateful journey to earth. The series follows Superman's grandfather, Seg-El, forced to wade into the politics of Kandor City - notably, a city that is later bottled up by Brainiac - in order to restore honor to his disgraced House of El. His attention is drawn towards more dire matters when the time traveler Adam Strange from Earth pays a visit and warns Seg-el about the coming of the "Collector of Worlds."

This is one of two Superman prequel series that have been announced in recent years.
