The Death Of Superman Review: 5 Ups & 6 Downs

2. It's Jam-Packed With Easter Eggs

The Death Of Superman Clark Lois
Warner Bros.

In addition to all that Justice League fan service, this is a movie absolutely rammed with Easter eggs and neat references to other aspects of DC lore.

To give just a few examples: a character quotes the "same Bat-time, same Bat-channel" quip from the 1960s TV series, Supes' comic book mermaid love interest Lori Lemaris is name-dropped, and there's even an amusing reversal of the "Who's got you?" exchange between Lois and Superman from the 1978 Superman movie.

There are countless more for fans to keep their ears and eyes peeled for, ensuring there's clear value in re-watching the movie if the first time grabs you sufficiently.
