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).

We also see mentions to Belle Reeve which appears in Suicide Squad movie (#ReleaseTheAyerCut) and is a prison facility throughout the DC lore with a first appearance in Suicide Squad #1 (1987).

Then she receives Bruce’s e-mail showcasing her Wonder Woman picture in the first World War together with clips and first official appearances in the DCEU of Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg.

I very much like the detail of the comics in the bed showcasing the trinity’s first appearance in comics and in the same scene we get the first appearance of these three other DC icons.

This parallel collapses interestingly in the Cyborg scene where we are both introduced to Cyborg and Silas Stones mentions object 61982 where June 1982 is when Tales of the New Titans #1 was first released and tells Cyborg’s origin story in the comics.

There is more to the Cyborg clip in terms of references. It takes place in STAR labs and thus gives us another reference to a classical location in the DC world, with a first appearance in Superman #246 in 1971.

It also displays a Motherbox that is apparently fusing with Victor’s body to create Cyborg. This is very much like his origin in the New 52 Justice League comics (issues #3-4). This plays massively into #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague, so I'll hopefully cover in detail this one day 😂

Classical DC locations references, vintage comics, and the introduction to Justice Leage members. Love all the references in this scene. Also, because it preludes the “greatest gladiator match in the history of the world” and that means we have a thread full of homages next week!

So that’s a wrap for today’s thread. Remember if you like this thread or any previous ones, consider donating to the @afspnational Autumn Snyder Fund. Every small amount counts to raise awareness for this cause! supporting.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuse…
