references and knowing winks in films
based on DC properties we’ll be looking
at all live-action DC movies and not
just those of the DC EU we will not
however be including obvious teasers
like the Joker’s playing card at the end
of Batman Begins Oh
number 10 Victor Zsasz Batman Begins in
my opinion mr. zas is as much a danger
to himself as slows a young Victor Zsasz
has gotten plenty of screen time on the
television series Gotham but you’ve
probably missed his brief appearance in
the first film of Christopher Nolan’s
Dark Knight trilogy if you are
unfamiliar with the comics zas probably
just seemed like a random criminal
anyone that knows Batman’s rogues
gallery inside and out however will
recognize as as a notorious serial
killer who tallies his kills with cuts
on his own flesh in a wonderful little
nod to the fans zazas trademarks cars
can fleetingly be seen on his neck when
he exits his prison cell like the Joker
we’re sure each of his scars has a
colorful backstory another what could be
Scott number 9 the John f render Federal
Building Suicide Squad sir the vice city
is under attack as fun as it is to see
comic book movies paying homage to their
source material in subtle ways it’s
particularly heartwarming when the
artist behind that work gets an
acknowledgment Robert Connor and Ross
Andru created the first comic book
iteration of The Suicide Squad but it
shares little resemblance to the version
people know and love today the whole
gang of supervillains forced to work
covert ops for a government agency thing
we have John Austria to thank for that
and in recognition of its maker The
Suicide Squad film immortalized Oscar
and ER by naming a building after him in
Midway City the building from which the
squad must rescue Amanda Waller how are
you not dead number 8 Aquaman PJ’s
Superman Returns
this smells nostalgic approach to
Superman unfortunately failed to
revitalize the franchise as Warner
Brothers had hoped though we never got
to see the planned 2009 sequel we did
get a nod to a larger universe in the
form of Lois Lane and Clark Kent’s
biological son no rather his pajamas
which are adorned with cartoon images of
Aquaman sometimes you feel like an
outcast
you ever poor eagle-eyed audience
members this was a cute throwback to the
more innocent days of comics before
Aquaman got gritty but one can’t help
but wonder within the world of the film
is Aquaman a fictional hero or is
Superman’s fellow Justice League member
alive and unabashedly big on
self-promotion sadly we’ll never know
Arthur curry Aquaman
so named number 7 Superman serial cameos
Superman
[Music]
can you really blame Warner Brothers for
wanting to recapture the magic of the
original Superman film the big-screen
debut of Christopher Reeve as the Man of
Steel is the definition of heartwarming
and hopeful as classic as this film
feels now when it was shot in the 1970s
Supes
already had a long history allowing the
filmmakers to express a little nostalgia
of their own that’s a tree dreamin of
Bob Lois Lane you have a writer’s gift
for invention when Clark is running
alongside the train carrying Lois Lane
and her family her parents are played by
none other than Noel Neill and Kirk
Allen the original Lois & Clark from the
1948 serialized Superman film initially
a deleted scene it was added back into
the film for home releases Lois please
read your book number 6 clayface’s maker
The Dark Knight Rises
customs are today despite setting Batman
in a much more realistic world
Christopher Nolan still delivered his
own spin on a number of classic back
villains for some of the odder iconic
characters however there was simply no
good workaround and yet
Nolan managed to give some of these
inhuman robes and nod nonetheless
Clayface never would have worked in this
grounded superhero universe so instead
Nolan delivered a version of the man who
created Clayface in the animated series
Roland Daggett
I want him dealt with although named
John Daggett in the film there is no
denying the resemblance since they’re
both business adversaries of Wayne who
turned to villains to achieve their
goals what the hell is going on number 5
the costumes of Riddler and two-face
Batman and Robin well say what you will
about this franchise ending film but
when it lacked in quality it more than
made up for in fact credit cards while
joel schumacher’s can’t be approached a
Batman is loathed by many fans it’s hard
to deny the fact that Jim Carrey and
Tommy Lee Jones were in all honesty a
lot of fun as Riddler and two-face
that’s never going to heal if you don’t
stop taking all you please sure they
were over-the-top but they pulled it off
with maniacal style sadly the same
cannot be said for Arnie and uma as Mr
Freeze and poison ivy in a movie with
few high notes the sight of to face and
the Riddler’s respective outfits in the
property locker at Arkham was a real
treat number 4
keep calm and called Batman Man of Steel
whether you appreciate his cinematic
take on DC characters or not it must be
acknowledged that few directors in the
comic-book movie genre have more genuine
love for comics than Zack Snyder if you
need more proof look no further than the
many little on-screen gifts he’s left
for fans as the first film in the DC EU
Man of Steel made one thing very clear
this Superman does not exist in a bubble
one of the many signs of a larger shared
universe a poster can be seen hanging in
the building Superman crashes into it
reads Keep Calm and called Batman turns
out Batman was already on the scene
number 3 Lex Corp Man of Steel as we
were saying this is a film overflowing
with Easter eggs but the skyline of
Metropolis appears to have been Zacks
greatest canvas for sharing his geek
love of DC Comics it features various
signs and business names pulled straight
from the comics including STAR Labs
utopia casino WG b s and even blaze
comics
the fictional publisher behind Booster
Gold comics within the DC Comics
universe Lex Corp however is a big one
Luthor himself didn’t appear until 2016
s Batman vs Superman but he is a big
presence in Metropolis we see his logo
not just on his building but on multiple
big rigs too
number two the iconic action comics
cover Russell Life Superman Returns hey
nostalgia might not always translate to
massive returns at the box office but as
far as Easter eggs are concerned
drawbacks are solid gold published in
1938 Action Comics number one introduced
the world to what would become one of
the most iconic figures in pop culture
history this comic book has gone on to
become the most valuable of its kind and
by extension arguably one of the most
recognizable images in comics in a
brilliant homage to the source material
Superman Returns brought this iconic
moment in history to life by having
Brandon Ralph’s Superman hold a car
above his head in the exact same pose
write this before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions what are you smiling about
Captain nothing sir
they became the king and queen of Gotham
City number one Bruce Wayne and his
parents Watchmen we’ve said it before
and we’ll say it again
Zack Snyder loves his comic books
another highly divisive film from the
director Watchmen was described for many
years by those in the industry as an
impossible film adaptation in the highly
stylized opening montage we see the
original night owl punching out a gunman
in the background a well-dressed couple
exits into the alleyway from a theater
where on a poster we can see the word
Gotham seem familiar years before
telling the tragic story of their death
in a similarly dramatic opening montage
Snyder actually saved Thomas and Martha
Wayne from their fate in Crime Alley
