Crisis On Infinite Earths: 36 Easter Eggs, Cameos And References You Probably Missed

25. The Death Of Superman

Crisis on Infinite Earths
The CW

With Lex Luthor plotting to kill every Superman in the multiverse, Earth-38's Man of Steel and Lois tracked him to Earth-75 - only to find that he already killed its version of the iconic hero. They made the startling discovery thanks to a public television which showcased that earth's Lois crying over Superman's fallen body - a shot that pays homage to the iconic Death of Superman comic specifically because of that instantly recognisable torn cape/flag.

On that note, it also bears a striking similarity to the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
