Man Of Steel: 10 Easter Eggs That Were Secretly Foreshadowing
3. Mars Landscape - Martian Manhunter Exists In The DCEU
This ones really fleeting, but in a brief shot during Man Of Steel while Clark investigates the Kryptonian scout ship that has landed in Canada the audience is shown two computer monitors on a United States military employees desktop. One of these presents an image of the surface of a planet which is neither Earth nor Krypton. In fact, it looks a lot like Mars. Why would the American military be studying Mars? Perhaps, theyre already aware of the shape-shifting alien superhero Martian Manhunter and were trying to check if this scout ship had originated on his home world. In the comics, the rest of Mr Manhunters species were wiped out in a genocide, which could explain why the military-sponsored exploration of Mars teased in Man Of Steel didnt uncover anything. As of yet, DC Entertainment hasnt announced any plans for a live-action Martian Manhunter, so this one is a bit of a long shot. But you dont stick some Mars landscape photography in a DC Comics movie without intending it to foreshadow something. Perhaps the next few DCEU film will provide some answers. Could there be a surprise Manhunter cameo on the way?
