Quotes:
Colonel Nathan Hardy: [to Faora-Ul] You're right: a good death is its own reward.
General Zod: If you love these people so much, you can mourn for them!::Clark Kent: Don't do this! Stop! Don't!::General Zod: Never!::Clark Kent: NOOOO!
Clark Kent: I have so many questions. Where do I come from? Why did you send me here?::Jor-El: You came from Krypton, a world with a much harsher environment than Earth's. Long ago, in an era of expansion, our race spread out through the stars, seeking new worlds to settle upon. This scout ship was one of thousands launched into the void. We built outposts on other planets, using great machines to reshape environments to our needs. For 100 thousand years our civilization flourished, accomplishing wonders.::Clark Kent: What happened?::Jor-El: Artificial population control was established. The outposts and space exploration were abandoned. We exhausted our natural resources. As a result, our planet's core became unstable. Eventually, our military leader, General Zod, attempted a coup, but by then it was too late. Your mother and I foresaw the coming calamity and we took certain steps to ensure your survival. This is a genesis chamber. All Kryptonians were conceived in chambers such as this. Every child was designed to perform a predetermined role in our society as a worker, a warrior, a leader, and so on. Your mother and I believed Krypton lost something precious: the element of choice, of chance. What if a child dreamed of becoming something other than what society had intended? What if a child aspired to something greater? You were the embodiment of that belief, Kal. Krypton's first natural birth in centuries. That's why we risked so much to save you.
[from theatrical trailer]::Jonathan Kent: You just have to decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be, Clark. Whoever that man is, he's going to change the world.
[from Comic Con trailer]::Jonathan Kent: People are afraid of what they don't understand.
Helen Ross: My son was in the bus. He saw what Clark did.
[from theatrical trailer]::Clark Kent - age 9: The world's too big, Mom.::Martha Kent: Then make it small. Focus on my voice. Pretend it's an island out in the ocean. Can you see it?::Clark Kent - age 9: I see it...
[from theatrical trailer]::Jor-El: You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.
[from theatrical trailer]::Jonathan Kent: You're not just anyone. One day, you're going to have to make a choice. You have to decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be. Whoever that man is, good character or bad, it's going to change the world.
[from theatrical trailer]::[Clark sees his ship]::Jonathan Kent: It's not from this world, Clark. And neither are you.

Superman: It's a good thing I always keep an extra Phantom Zone crystal in my cape.
Superman: [to Lois] I'll see you in the news.
[first lines]::Jor-El: Throughout recorded history the people of Krypton have existed in perfect harmony with one another, with our planet. But that precious balance would have been undermined if had General Zod, our own security minister, succeeded in his plan to start a new order. This new order, as he calls it, would have sown chaos throughout the planet. Turning our own good people of Krypton against the ruling council of elders, disposing of eons of diplomatic principles. If Zod's plan had worked, the people of Krypton would have not only accepted this tyranny, they would have begged for it. I now place the fate of these three in the hands of the ruling council. What say you?
Lois Lane: You even *taste* super.
Man on Street Corner: Look, up in the sky, it's a bird.::Woman on Street Corner: It's a plane.::Second Man on Street Corner: No it's... it's a guy in red underpants.

Plot: Before Krypton exploded and Jor-El put his baby son, Kal-El, in a rocket ship to Earth, the benevolent ruler was forced to banish three irredeemable criminals to another dimension called The Phantom Zone. The trio's leader, General Zod, vowed revenge. Later, of course, Kal-El grew up to become Superman, Earth's mighty champion. A battle with the criminal mastermind, Lex Luthor, ends with Superman hurling a nuclear warhead into space where it explodes, but not harmlessly. Instead, it frees the Kryptonian threesome from their other-dimensional prison. They soon discover they have almost unlimited power (the same powers, in fact, as Superman), which they use to take over the Earth. Meanwhile, the intrepid reporter, Lois Lane, learns that her bumbling colleague, Clark Kent, is really Superman, a revelation that leads to him bringing her to his frozen Fortress of Solitude and renouncing his powers in order to make love to her. It is only when Superman and Lois return to civilization that they learn of the three Kryptonians and how Lex Luthor has joined forces with them. Now, Superman must reverse the irreversible and regain his powers in order to save mankind.

Quotes:
General Zod: What more do you want? I can see the greed written on your face.::Lex Luthor: A small incentive, O' Fullest One. A mere bauble to jog the memory.::General Zod: What more?::Lex Luthor: Cuba.
Lois Lane: You ARE Superman, aren't you?::Clark Kent: Lois, now we've been through these haullcinations of yours before. Can't you see what you almost did? Throwing yourself off a building 30 stories high? Can't you see what a tragic mistake you almost made?::Lois Lane: I made a mistake. I made a mistake because [Lois pulls out a gun] I risked my life instead of yours.::Clark Kent: Lois... don't be insane!::Lois Lane: And don't fall down 'cause you're just going to have to get up again!::Clark Kent: Lois, don't be crazy now... LOIS! [Lois fires at Clark, who just stands there with a stern look on his face]::Lois Lane: [Lois looks at amazement] It IS you... [Clark takes off his glasses to reveal that he is indeed Superman] I guess I've known this for the longest time.::Clark Kent: You realize, of course, if you had been wrong, Clark Kent would've been killed.::Lois Lane: [Lois holds up the gun] With a blank?

Lex Luthor: This place has *everything*!::Eve Teschmacher: Wrong.::[pause]::Lex Luthor: Why didn't you go before we left?::Eve Teschmacher: [gritting teeth] That was two days ago!
[first lines]::Jor-El: I ask you now to pronounce judgment on those accused. On this... this mindless aberration, whose only means of expression are wanton violence and destruction; on the woman Ursa, whose perversions and unreasoning hatred of all mankind have threatened even the children of the planet Krypton; finally, General Zod. Chief architect of this intended revolution and author of this insidious plot to establish a new order amongst us... with himself as absolute ruler. You have heard the evidence. The decision of the council will now be heard.
General Zod: Son of Jor-El. We were beginning to think you were a coward.::Clark Kent: I'm not a coward, Zod.::General Zod: It is extremely likely you are merely a fool. Like father, like son.
Jor-El: [Kal-El is asking for counsel again from his father regarding his feelings for Lois] The people of your planet are well pleased with you Kal-El... you have served them faithfully... and they are grateful for it. And yet you have returned to reason with me once again. My son I have tried to anticipate your every question, this is one... I had hoped you would not ask...::Kal-El/Superman: My attachment... umm... the feelings which I have developed for a certain human being have deeply affected me father...::Jor-El: You cannot serve humanity by investing your time and emotion in one human being at the expense of the rest... the concepts are mutually exclusive.::Kal-El/Superman: [takes a deep breath] And... if I no longer want to serve humanity...::Jor-El: Is this how you repay their gratitude... by abandoning the weak... the defenseless... the needful... for the sake of your selfish pursuits...::Kal-El/Superman: [angry] Selfish? After all I've done for them? Will there ever come a time when I've served enough? At least they get a chance for happiness... I only ask as much... no more...::Jor-El: Yours is a higher happiness... the fullfillment of your mission... the inspiration... you must have... you must have felt that happiness within you... my son... surely you cannot deny that feeling...::Kal-El/Superman: No... I cannot... anymore than I deny the other which is stronger in me father... so much stronger...::Kal-El/Superman: Is there no way then father? Must I be denied the one thing in life that I truly desire?::Jor-El: If you will not be Kal-El... if you will live as one of them... love their kind as one of them... then it follows... that you must become one of them...::Jor-El: [Jor-El disappears and a crystal chamber emerges, he reappears closer to Kal-El] This crystal chamber has in it the harnessed rays of the red sun of Krypton... once exposed to them all your great powers on Earth will disappear... forever... once this is done there is no going back... you will feel like an ordinary man... and you can be harmed like an ordinary man...::Jor-El: [Kal-El steps towards the chamber] Think Kal-El... I beg you...::Kal-El/Superman: [points as if to warn] Father... I love her...::Jor-El: [last words] Think Kal-El...::[Kal-El ignores his father's last plea and enters the chamber, the fortress glows red inside as Jor-El gives a condemning stare at Lois who is watching overhead]
Kal-El/Superman: [Kal-El has returned to the Fortress of Solitude after giving up his powers and learning General Zod has escaped the Phantom Zone, desperate and broken] Father... if you can hear me... I failed... I've failed you, I've failed myself... and all humanity. I've traded my birthright... for a life of submission in a world ruled by your enemies... there's nobody left to help them now... the people of the world... since I... FATHER!::Jor-El: [as Kal-El starts to walk away from the crystal console, the remaining crystal starts to glow, he puts it into the crystal console, Jor-El appears] Listen carefully my son... for we shall never speak again... if you hear me now... then you have used the only means left to you... the crystal source in which our communications begun... the circle is now complete... you have made a dreadful mistake Kal-El... you did this of your own free will... in spite of all I could say to dissuade you...::Kal-El/Superman: I... uh...::Jor-El: Now you return to me for one last chance to redeem yourself... this too I have finally anticipated my son... look at me Kal-El... once before when you were small I died while giving you a chance for life and even now though it will exhust the final energy left within me::Kal-El/Superman: [broken on the verge of tears, turns his head] Father... no...::Jor-El: Look at me Kal-El... the Kryptonian prophecy will at last be fulfilled... the son becomes the father... the father becomes the son... farewell forever... Kal-El... remember me my son...::Jor-El: [Jor-El disappears and reappears next to Kal-El in full form, he places his hand on his shoulder] My son...::[Kal-Els powers start to regenerate from his fathers touch]
Lois Lane: I mean, it wouldn't take long. We could just fly up there and zoom back down again. You know... Superman?::Perry White: Yeah. If he'd give you two a ride, maybe we could save a couple bucks.
Lois Lane: Must be tough being Clark Kent, isn't it?::Superman: No. No, I really - I really like it sometimes. Even though I do make a fool of myself. But, you know, if it weren't for him, I never would have met you.::Lois Lane: But he is you. It's kind of confusing.::Superman: Not to me, it isn't. For the first time in my life, everything's clear.
Lex Luthor: Oh, Magnificent One, what I am bargaining with is what you do not have. The son of Jor-El.::General Zod: The Son of Jor-El?::Lex Luthor: [whispering to Ursa] I said that didn't I?::General Zod: Jor-El, our jailer?::Lex Luthor: No, Jor-El the baseball player. Yes, your jailer.
