During the flashback sequence which shows Steppenwolf's first assault on Earth five-thousand years ago, fans get their first glimpse of a Green Lantern within the DCEU, and though the character's face is obscured for most of the cameo, he seems to closely resemble Yalan Gur, who in the comics is widely considered to be one of the most powerful Lanterns of all time.

Sure, it's entirely possible this Lantern could merely be a member of Gur's race, but the likeness is similar and distinctive enough that it was most definitely intended as a shout-out to the few who would notice.
