Crisis On Infinite Earths: 36 Easter Eggs, Cameos And References You Probably Missed
10. Crisis On Infinite Earths
Given that Crisis On Infinite Earths is based on the comic of the same name, plot similarities aren't really Easter Eggs. However, one of the crossover's best references to the original comic didn't come in the narrative, it came in the form of an unexpected visual.
The apparent demise of Earth-96's Superman saw Brandon Routh's Man of Steel collapse to the ground as Supergirl cradled him in her arms. This was, no doubt, a direct reference to the infamous comic book cover which featured a heartbroken Superman cradling the dead body of Supergirl in his arms.
