21 Incredibly Obscure DC Movie Easter Eggs

20. Lois Parents' Cameo - Superman

Superman Cameos Easter Egg
Warner Bros.

The first Superman live action movie saw a couple of cameos paying homage to the pre-feature history of the Man Of Steel. In the opening act, when Clark Kent is racing a train, he sees the family of a little girl (who it later transpires is Lois Lane) in one of the carriages.

The mother is Noel Neill and the father is Kirk Alyn - respectively the first actors to play Lois Lane and Superman on screen in the serials (Superman from 1948 and Atom Man Vs Superman from 1950). Neill would also go on to play Lois Lane in the 1950s TV show before reappearing for a cameo in Superman Returns as Lex Luthor's wife Gertrude Vanderworth.
