Suicide Squad: 14 Obscure Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

5. The Superman 2 Gag

At the start of the movie when Amanda Waller and her associates are convincing the Us military chiefs that Suicide Squad is a great idea they talk about the possibility of the next Superman being bad and deciding to rip the roof off the White House and take the President.

That might seem just like a reference to the anxiety over Superman in the wake of Man Of Steel and Batman v Superman, but it's a far more specific reference than that.

In Superman II, when Zod and his fellow evil Kryptonians attack Earth, one of their first moves is to do exactly what Waller fears: they trash the White House, breaking in from the roof and force the President to kneel before Zod.
