Wrath of Khan?
Singer said in an interview that he would like to do something similar to the 'Wrath of Khan'. I know that that's a Star Trek movie from the 80's, but I don't know what the reference means. Someone said that that meant he was going to bring back General Zod, and that just freaks me out. I'm scared for that. Tell me what that means please. Does it mean Superman is going to die???? What????

"Wrath Of Khan" style, in reference to Star Trek II, means an adversary from the past comes back to wreak havoc.
I also hope it doesn't mean Zod. Give me Darkseid or Braniac, or maybe Doomsday.
If it means an adversary from the past comes back, then I don't see how they could mean anything but Zod. Superman hasn't had any adversaries other than Luthor, Zod, and some odd form of Bizarro in the movies..... That sounds ridiculously dumb. Jese man.......

lol 😆
I really hope this doesnt mean Zod i really dont. Superman needs to expand not keep elaborating on the same story and enemies. Give me brainiac. Brainiac has something against Kryptonians so i hope this means him.
Further clairification from Singer on 'Wrath Of Khan'. He means that while the first Star Trek was longer, deliberately paced with a wide vision, Khan was tighter, faster and more fun in a standard way.
That is the tone he's seeking for the second film.
And there will be a second one. Warners has invested too much money in this restart, to walk away now.
I hope they bring in Metallo or Doomsday.With the current CGI technology superspeed flight and other things looked great, but Superman saving planes or people isn't that fun.Who is a match for him?No one, except if there's kryptonite around.
To really have fun we need a character with superpowers who can smack Supes around and then get what the Man Of Steel can dish out, we need a slugfest of superstrong guys, not boyscout action.

lol. yea please no Zod, ursa or non! New story in Superman's life
redcaped you should look at the new smallville teaser they show zod "Kneel before ZOD!!"
I must be one of the few who is actually rooting for Zod to return. Have him played by Jude Law and I am the happiest person on the planet.
Zod would be a great villain to see again. I can just imagine that if the sequel features Zod, it'll have to involve him realizing that Superman has a son, and once he does, one of the sweetest forms of revenge Zod could take would be to try and take Jason away from Superman, make him an apprentice of some sort. Zod could tell him that he should enjoy his godlike powers and revel in them, ala Vader.
And it'd be great to see Lex have to deal with Zod again. Those two had some of the best scenes together in the entire series.
Yeah it'd be great to see Lex, this time as Spacey of course, try and deal with Zod again. I loved all the bantering that they did in Superman II, with lines like:
Zod: "We have no more use of him. Kill him now".
Lex: "Me! Lex Luthor!"
And of course to see Zod and Superman duking it out like never before. If anyone has seen the epic battle Superman had with Darkseid on the last episode of JLA, to see a battle like that between Zod and Superman in the sequel would be incredible stuff.
If this next movie is anything like the same context of Wrath of Khan, with a great villain, story, acting, and action, then 2009 can't come soon enough.
Ok..... I did some researching and I found out what it means guys. 'Wrath of Khan' is the 2nd Star Trek movie with Shatner, which really kicked the franchise off. It was better recieved from the public, and even from non Star Trek fans. It's widely thought of as a very good sci fi flick by many people, and was and is recognized as far superior to the first movie. If that movie was a failure, the Star Trek franchise would not have had all of the success it's had since then. The reason people liked it was because of the character development and how twisted and menacing the villian was. It was actually the same villian as in the first one, but you got to see a whole new side of him, and in a way, the villian actually seemed more fresh and unpredictable in the second film.
In the context of how Singer said this, and the quote goes, "I want to go Wrath of Khan with this," he meant that now he had reestablished the franchise, that his limitations would be lessened in the second film, and he wouldn't have to 'walk with a bum leg'. He was defending the first movie to a somewhat partisan crowd who was grilling him on the box office dissapointments, and, though most thought it was a decent movie and just not done the right way to make money, some were ragging on the quality of the movie. When fielding questions, one of the questioners went as far as to flat out say that he was extremely dissapointed in the movie before asking his question, which I think is rude. Basically Singer was saying, look guys, the movie needed to be this way, and too much action would have been off. From the way he made it sound, he is boasting an extreme crowd pleaser and action extravagansa for the sequel. I'm extremely excited!
I also think that the criticisms of Singer and the movie are just off. People think that because, for some reason or another, people went to see Pirates 2 instead of Superman Returns, that it gives them a right to bash the movie. I'm sick of it. On opening night, our crowd gave a standing ovation, and even my cousin, who is the most cynical person I know said, 'Actually, it was great.' I guess people think it makes them look smart to say things are not up to their standards, but in my mind, it makes people look foolish to complain when there's nothing to complain about. It doesn't make you look great to be a whiny unsatiable jerk. Whey even go to the movies if you don't like any of them you see. I can't believe I let these guys get into my head with their nonsense. I loved the movie, and I thought it was outstanding. In fact, it exceeded my expectations, and it's my favorite movie of all time. There. I have said it, and those of you that are trolls can shove it. I'm through with you guys.....
