Deadpool 2: 25 WTF Moments

25. Those Savage DC Jokes

As the trailers made abundantly clear, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) isn't above throwing some shade at the competition, and his sequel features two wonderfully savage gags aimed at the beleaguered DC Extended Universe.

When Wade comes home to meet Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) at the start of the movie, he openly mocks the most controversial scene from Batman v Superman, telling her, "I was fighting a caped bada**, but then I discovered his mom's name was Martha too."

Later on when Cable (Josh Brolin) attacks Deadpool in the Icebox and tells him, "Dubstep's for p***ies", he also gleefully retorts, "So dark. Are you sure you're not from the DC Universe?"

Throwing shade at DC might be low-hanging fruit, but that doesn't mean it's not totally hilarious.
