I rewatched #BatmanvSuperman almost a month ago now and I’ve been tweeting sporadically about what caught my eye this time. Wanted to compile everything in a 🧵 that you can check out below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse 
Solomon Wayne reference
Title Card detail
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for Part 2 of the last scene of the movie Amazing Grace in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Part 1 was all about different DC references out there. And today it’s all going to be about the references (and differences) from the Funeral for a Friend storyline. So much to dissect so this one (my last one) is going to be a long one 😅, so let's get to it!
First off, there are several homages in the Metropolis funeral in #BvS to Funeral for a Friend.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for Part 1 of the last scene of the movie Amazing Grace in the thread below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
This scene has many references. Several of them to the storyline in Funeral for a Friend. And then several others to different pieces of DC media/comics. So today, I’ll cover these latter types of references and next week I’ll close out with the Funeral for a Friend ones.
So, let’s start with these peppered DC references. First, we can see similarities in Superman’s funeral to the Comedian funeral in Watchmen. This is not too surprising since Zack Snyder was behind the camera in both.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the scene Funeral for a Friend in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
This scene (and the next ones, ups spoilers) homage several parts of the continuation to The Death of Superman storyline in comics which was called Funeral for a Friend, an 8 issue storyline across different comics.
However, the first reference in this scene is not to this storyline, but to All Star Superman #5 with Lex in prison with the orange suit and a classical look after being shaved.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for The Death of Superman scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Not surprisingly, there are homages to the The Death of Superman storyline and specifically to Superman #75 which is the final comic in this run. And what a better time to do this thread as we get closer to celebrating the 30th anniversary of this classical moment in comics!
So, we start with Clark saying to Lois how much he loves her before his final fight with Doomsday.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the mythical Is She With You/Trinity versus Doomsday scene in the thread below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Several classical homages here to comics. Let’s start from one that was part of last week’s thread with Superman lying in space at the beginning of the scene and how it looks like Injustice: Gods Among Us #33.
Then we get Batman saved by Wonder Woman as it is common in the Snyderverse. She has a very classical pose from the comics. And there might be several references in here. I really like how it looks like from Trinity #6 (which actually took place after #BvS).
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the Fallout scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
So let’s start where we finish off last week because the homages to The Dark Knight Returns (TDKR) #4 continue. First, we have the bomb going off homage in #BvS.
Funnily enough, after the bomb explosion we get Batman saying Oh God in #BatmanvSuperman and in The Dark Knight Returns we get a similar one. This one from Carrie Kelley worried not that Superman is dead but rather that Bruce is.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the Into Space scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Just a small scene with a couple of references but one that I really like. First, we have Superman pushing Doomsday outside Earth. This is a homage to the Death of Superman storyline (specifically from the comic Superman: The Man of Steel #19).
The homage visually continues for some seconds. Even we see Doomsday punching Superman in the direction back to Earth in #BvS close to how he’s kicked by Doomsday in this sequence from the comic.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the Doomsday scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Several references and especially many homages to The Death of Superman (DoS) storyline. But let’s start at the beginning. First, as highlighted by @raveryn there are similarities in this scene between Lex and Lex Luthor from Superman for All Seasons
Then we get to the actual creation of Doomsday in which the imagery resembles the one from Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey #2.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the Warehouse Fight scene in the thread below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
It’s a quick one today. First, we get Batman jumping through a window in classical style. Just a classical comic look. For comparison, I like how it compares to this entrance from Batman in Superman/Batman #53.
Then, into the fight and first we get batman entering through the floor in a way that resembles quite a bit a fight in The Dark Knight Returns #1.
Midweek 🧵 incoming! Last Monday I analyzed Superman/Batman issues #53-#56 and how they are references #BatmanvSuperman. It was a lengthy one, so I left a couple of references out of it. So, here’s a bonus track 🧵 with them! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse
First, Bruce and Clark meeting at a gala just like in #BatmanvSuperman
Batman’s classic entrance looking like the one in the Warehouse scene in #BvS. Also, him entering sort of a warehouse in the comic!
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for Part 2 unpacking the Batman v Superman scene in the 🧵 below. Beware it’s a mighty long one 😅! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Today it’s all going to be about the moment where Batman is about to be snapped out of his PTSD by Superman’s words about his mother, Martha. I wrote about this moment at length here if you want to check it out clarkjoedceu.wixsite.com/into-the-snyde…
But there is also an interesting comic reference to this moment that I only saw some months ago from @TheNewAsgard. And the more I got into the storyline that contains this moment the more I thought it deserved its own thread. So, let’s get at it!
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the biggest gladiator match in the history of the world. The Batman v Superman scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
This one is going to be a two-parter. There are so many people that have analyzed homages in this battle that in Part 1 (today) I wanted to share some references that I really like (from others) and add a few myself.
Part 2 (next week) will focus on the most relevant part of the scene, when Batman snaps out of his PTSD by Superman’s words about Martha. There is an interesting connection to a DC comic there that deserves its own deep dive. But I won’t say more since, well spoilers 😂.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the scene Dawn of Justice introducing many Justice League characters in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Right off the bat we have Diana Prince folding some clothes and in her bed we see Action Comics #1 (Superman’s first appearance), Detective Comics #27 (Batman’s first appearance) and #31, and Sensation Comics #1 (Wonder Woman first cover appearance).
Then we get Diana scrolling over the news with some interesting headlines. Among them mentions to Stryker’s Island which is first mentioned in Superman Vol.2 #9 in 1987 as an island with a penitentiary in it (curiously same issue Ralli’s diner appears).
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, a very short thread for the scene Tick Tock in the 🧵 below with only one reference! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Only reference that I have seen mentioned around is regarding Superman talking to Lois, losing faith about humanity momentarily.
This resembles part of his conversation with the priest in Superman: For Tomorrow (issue #204) where Superman states that his only sin was saving the world. In both comic and media he is hurt because he seem to be losing a loved one (Martha in #BvS, Lois in the comic).
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the scene Helipad Confrontation in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
This scene is so special for me. It’s probably my favorite one in the movie, but also, it’s where I get the inspiration for my twitter nickname. I am so happy to be able to unpack different connections to the DC world. So, here we go. Beware (very) long thread incoming!
It is very hard for me not to think about Lex Luthor: Man of Steel (from Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo) during this scene. The imagery already is there from Superman flying atop and Lex seeing him from the ground.
This means that the spin’s final outcome is decided the moment you press the spin button, and stopping the reels or doing anything else will not change it from that point on. #wwe #BatmanvSuperman
It is true that slots are not completely random since computer science has not yet come up with a way of creating a true random number generator.bglc.es/forum/general-…
However, the RNGs used by slot machines, both online and offline, are as close to random as they need to be to ensure that no player is ever cheated in any way.xing.com/events/bocoran…
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the scene Kidnapping in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
It’s a short one today with two references to the last issue of Superman: Birthright (#12). First, the dialogue between Lex and Lois resembles that of the comic. Her trying to show she will expose him, and him shrugging it off.
Even a couple of lines of Lex minimizing disrespectfully Lois are in both movie and comic.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, it’s time for the scene Bat Light in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Semi-short thread today about this. First, we start off with the Ralli’s diner, now with even a sign for it. This is a reference we see the inside of the location during the Capitol Montage scene
Then, we have a small reference to The Riddler when Batman is leaving the spear in the ground to fight Superman.
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry into the #BatmanvSuperman references the DC lore series. Today, I cover the scene The Manor and references to different Batman comics/media in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Broadly speaking this scene relates to the episode “I am the Night” from Batman: The Animated Series and also comic storyline Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne.
So, let’s start from the first of these connections. Many people have pointed out that the dialogue between Bruce and Alfred in the movie resembles closely the one in the animated series, especially when they are talking about Bruce fighting criminals.
It’s a new Monday, and today is a special one since I get to do a thread on one of my favorite #BatmanvSuperman scenes (The Mountain) and how it references the broad DC lore. Everything about it and a small analysis in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
In this scene, Clark visits a mountain where he talks with his father’s ghost about what he’s going through. Importantly, to dissect this scene a good starting point is thinking about Zack Snyder’s words about it (thanks to @hell0gary for the edit of the image).
In a way it’s all about the evolution of the Fortress of Solitude. Interestingly, the first part of Zack Snyder’s Superman arc (#ManofSteel) depicts a “sort of” traditional fortress, the scout ship in the arctic. A big palace where he talks to his birth parent, Jor-El.
After a small break I am back! It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry to the #BatmanvSuperman references to the DC lore series. Today is the turn for the Burn Him scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Thought this one was going to be a short 🧵 with a couple of references. But as usual I went on a rabbit hole following one part of the scene and wanted to share some of it here. So, let's start with a reference, the protests that again look like Grant Morrison’s Action Comics #3
The actual signs in the protest are what led to me to the rabbit hole trying to find out more about them. Found from @manofsteelanswers webpage a BTS pic with all the signs. Interesting choices so I think it’s worth talking about some of them (manofsteelanswers.com/tag/batman-v-s…).
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry to the #BatmanvSuperman references to the DC lore series. Today is the turn for the Metamorphosis scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
In this one Lex Luthor uses his blood and General Zod’s body to start creating the desecration without name. In this one there is not a particular reference but wanted to highlight different things about these scenes that are similar to comics.
First, Lex Luthor is trying to create a creature to kill Superman. This has happened a lot in the comics, especially for different versions of Bizarro. For instance, in Post-Crisis, in The Man of Steel #5 he creates a clone of Superman that ends up becoming Bizarro (a creature).
It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry to the #BatmanvSuperman references to the DC lore series. Today is the turn for Preparation Montage and Photograph scene in the thread below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood
Most of this one is going to revolve around Bruce training. Three important references. First, we have some to Detective Comics #33. One from the training itself and Bruce lifting weights.
But also, in that comic Bruce Wayne is a master scientist with black specialist glasses working on a green chemical. Interestingly, this specific comic has been already references several times in #BatmanvSuperman so this might not be a coincidence.
