Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’s 10 Most Significant Easter Eggs

Comic book films are always stuffed to the brim with easter eggs and references to the source material for fans to pick up on, and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is no different. It actually might even contain more than the average superhero movie due to the nature of it being packed with so many subplots and characters, as it had the unenviable task of setting up the upcoming Justice League movies and the whole of the newly-minted DC Extended Universe in general.

6) Manbat And The Riddler

Not content with just squeezing in Metallo and KGBeast, there are two more nods to comics villains hidden in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Firstly, one of Bruce’s many dream sequences in the film sees him visit his mother’s grave, only for a terrifying half-bat, half-man creature to come out of it and attack him. While nothing more comes of this, it will surely put Bat-fans in mind of Manbat – the monstrous villain from Batman’s rogues gallery.

Also, during the big Superman/Batman fight, hidden amongst the graffiti is a familiar question mark – the symbol of the Riddler. Snyder confirmed recently that both the Joker and the Riddler were at one point set to make cameos in the film – and there is a rumour that Jesse Eisenberg was first hired to play Edward Nygma rather than Lex Luthor.

Given that news and this easter egg, we’d bet that the character will turn up later on in the DCEU.
