LEGO Batman Movie: 75 Easter Eggs & References You Need To See

21. The Pulp Fiction Gag

At the same time as Batman throwing some shade at Suicide Squad when Commissioner Gordon suggests getting a team of villains together to stop the Joker and the Phantom Zone villains, Batman specifically mentions Fox Force Five, the team of bad-ass girls from the pilot Mia Wallace shot in Pulp Fiction.

20. The Gremlins Cartoon Reference

At one point during the climactic battle sequence, The Gremlins attack the Bat-Plane, taking out the engines, which is a two-fold Easter Egg of sorts.

First it refers to the origins of the term when 1920s RAF pilots introduced a superstition that "gremlins" were sabotaging doomed planes - an idea that became more popular during World War II.

And of course it also references the famous Bugs Bunny cartoon Falling Hare in which he battles a mischievous gremlin as it terrorises him at an airfield and in a plane.

19. Batman's Eyes

It's a fairly small thing, comparatively speaking, but the decision to give Batman blue glowing eyes refers back to his battle armor in Batman v Superman.
