Superman: 20 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

10. Bakerline

During a heart to heart with Clark, Lois mentions how different they are, telling him, "I was just some punk rock kid from Bakerline and you're… Superman."

Bakerline might sound like a pretty standard, generic name for an area of a big city, but hardcore Superman fans might well appreciate that Gunn actually pulled this straight from the comics.

Bakerline is traditionally one of the six boroughs of Metropolis, and resides north of another borough, New Troy. 

More to the point, it's the home of Jimmy Olsen - played quite delightfully here by Skyler Gisondo - and is generally accepted to be based on The Bronx area of New York City.
