Quotes 

• General Zod : My fellow Kryptonians, six months ago, we came together to face the dawn of a new era. I stood before you, a man from the future, with a vision for the future to rebuild a Krypton unrecognizable in its perfection. I knew only unity and equality would heal our divisions and secure our future. And now I offer my gratitude.

  Adam Strange : [landing in an alley]  Ooh. Oh, god damn it, right in the johnson.

  General Zod : Because while I may have led our efforts, it is by your own strength that today, Krypton is indeed unrecognizable. And perfection lies within our grasp. We are now ready to claim our rightful place amongst the stars and fulfill our duty of promoting Kryptonian exceptionalism as rulers of the galaxy. To those anarchic separatists on Wegthor, know that through the toil, courage, and sacrifices of true Kryptonians, we will crush your treacherous rebellion. And there has been no more noble a sacrifice than that of my father, Seg-El, who gave his life so that we may all see a better tomorrow.

• Lyta-Zod : It's been six months, and we are still no closer to locating Doomsday. Yet we continue pouring our resources into the search, when we should be bringing the Wegthor conflict to a close.

  General Zod : We barely survived Brainiac, and we don't know what other planetary-scale disasters lay in our future. We must get off this planet, begin seeding others. It's the only way to ensure the survival of our people. With Doomsday under our control, should a world reject our offer of annexation, we simply deploy the creature. Our adversary would capitulate or face total annihilation. Either way, we secure our victory without the loss of a single Kryptonian life.

  Lyta-Zod : Then you prioritize Doomsday, and let me handle the resistance. Latest intel suggest Val-El, Jax-Ur, and Nyssa-Vex are done recruiting. Apparently, they're in Kandor as we speak.

  General Zod : [she activates a hologram]  What's this?

  Lyta-Zod : My mission proposal to smoke them out from wherever they're hiding.

  General Zod : Are you really sure this is where you want your focus to be?

  Lyta-Zod : Why wouldn't I?

  General Zod : They were your allies once.

  Lyta-Zod : And that's how I know this will work.

• General Zod : They look so delicate outside of the creche. So helpless, fragile. Yet bursting with life.

  Nyssa-Vex : Give me back my son.

  General Zod : Nothing would make me happier. However, there is something I need from you first.

  Nyssa-Vex : What?

  General Zod : It is time for this resistance to end. Val is my great-grandfather, my blood. We should be together, not fighting each other. And I need you to convince him of this.

  Nyssa-Vex : And if I refuse?

  General Zod : That would break my heart, because I believe there is nothing more sacred than the bond between mother and child. But if that is your resolve, then you leave me no choice. I will raise young Cor-Vex myself, and be to him the father I never had, in honor of Seg.

  Nyssa-Vex : You're just like my father.

  General Zod : Get some rest. Perhaps you'll reconsider in the morning.
