Ready Player One: 135 Easter Eggs & References Explained

Batman

This being a Warner Bros movie, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that their biggest brand - the Dark Knight himself - is all over the film, though they're all pretty small references that are designed to be incidental. It's a very clever way of establishing early how big the Easter Eggs are going to be.

122. 1966 Batmobile

Adam West's Batmobile appears early in the packed race sequence of the first task. It's glimpsed near the back of the grid alongside Parzival's DeLorean.

And like the DeLorean, it also returns later in the movie for a second appearance.

121. Batman, Robin & Batgirl

When Wade is explaining the mechanism of The OASIS, he mentions that you could choose to play as Batman and we get a shot of the iconic building climb with Batman and Robin, and then later Batgirl appears as another player's Avatar.

120. Joker And Harley Quinn

The Joker and Harley Quinn also appear as Avatars in the OASIS nightclub the Distracted Globe. The former's design seems to be referencing Heath Ledger's version of the character in The Dark Knight, while Harley is the same design as the Batman: Arkham games series.

She appears a couple of times in the sequence, seemingly working with villain I-R0k to inform IOI about Parzival and Art3mis' presence at the club.

119. ACE Chemicals

The Bat-universe company’s logo can be seen briefly in the background of the race task sequence.
