i dont get double damage on my brawl either, and sometimes i swear it doesnt take anything off at all, the number comes up but the bar doesnt go down.
Highly suspicious.

I thought containment worked with power pool/epic powers and powers from your primary and secondary only not with inherent powers such as brawl.
That's how I've understood it as well.
As for the bar not moving, brawl doesn't always do enough damage for it to move. The bar doesn't seem to move for every point of damage, it's more like it moves for every x% damage taken.

Pretty sure I read that Brawl does not work with containment - WAI

For some reason I do not get double damage when I use brawl on a frozen enemy. Brawl is my main attack so I don't really have much choice, I also noticed that the new temp power you get until level 10 also doesn't give double damage.
Is this a bug, working as intended, being looked into?

As others have said, WAI. I'm pretty sure I remember a red name confirming this, but I think it was before the board wipe. From what I remember, it was stated that only primary, secondary, and pool powers would do Containment damage, meaning that temp powers don't, and Brawl doesn't because it's inherent.
Backing up what Cybercel said - there was a red name post
Brawl doesn't work with any of the AT inherants. So Tankers don't get gauntlet on it, scrappers can't Crit with it etc. WAI.
Guess that explains it then, thx guys!

G,
Don't know which travel power you're planning to take, but if it's Fly, then Air Superiority is a handy power to use with Containment, at least for the lower levels (thx to Crossfire for the tip 
). I'm using it on my fire/kin and will probably keep it until I respec and go for Inertial Reduction at 28.

Air Superiority is class with containment, good later on as well.
At the moment I'm planned on superspeed, since hasten can't be made permanent anymore perhaps go with Flurry? It does better damage then air superiority...
Seems like I'll be rethinking my controller (again)

from what i remember flurry has a long animation, also air superiority has the -fly and kncokback which is sometimes useful.
hasten i find useful for when things get tough, it's always nice to be able to spam holds that little bit faster 
Yeah but with storm as secondary super speed will combine with steamy mist for a good stealth component.
The activation is a bit long, but so is the recharge on block of ice.
