Justice League: Easter Eggs and References You Shouldn’t Have Missed

Superman

The original Jimmy Olsen – this shot didn’t make the final cut. (Warner Bros.)

It’s a shame that there was no time left to fix that damn ‘stache!

We can begin by saying that the original Jimmy Olsen (Marc McClure) puts in an appearance in Justice League as the guard who leads Barry to his father. We believe that the scene was shot after Warner Bros. and Joss Whedon decided to cut his original cameo, which took place during Superman’s resurrection.

In a throwback to the old movies, Superman’s theme is heard in Justice League, with a dark twist added as the Man of Steel is brought back to life. The plaid the character wears in the field also hearkens back to previous Superman incarnations.

In another nod to Man of Steel, the Krypton theme plays as the team enters the Kryptonian ship.

Comic book references have Superman asking how he can help and speaking to Steppenwolf about truth and justice.

The last and most beautiful nod to any Superman ever shows Clark Kent ripping his shirt open to expose his superhero suit.
