21 Incredibly Obscure DC Movie Easter Eggs

6. Aaron Smolinski

You probably don't know the name, but Aaron Smolinski was the first actor credited as Clark Kent in a feature film, in a round about sort of way. He played the infant Clark who emerges from the Kansas crash site (wearing not a stitch, incidentally and the film did nothing to preserve his modesty).

But he's also in a couple of other Superman films as a mark of his important role in the formation of the franchise. He reappears uncredited in Superman III as the little boy waiting outside the photo booth when Clark Kent changed into Superman, and then more notably he appeared as a communications officer in Man Of Steel for the scene in which Superman meets Earth's armies.
