It’s the start of a new week, so time for a new entry on #BatmanvSuperman references to the DC lore. Today is Part 4 in the Knightmare scene which will involve various references to different comics. All of them in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse Image
Let’s first start with Batman’s Knightmare outfit. This resembles Batman: The Cult #4 images. But this has also become a #ZackSnyderistheblueprint moment as it was used in Batman: The Detective #1 and Batman #34 (Rebirth) recently. ImageImageImageImage
The parademon design (and Apokoliptian worlds) also has a hint of Kingdom Come designs. ImageImageImage
Then, we also get a reference to Batman: The Cult but this time issue #1 with Batman (in this similar suit) chained. ImageImage
After that, Superman states “She was my world, and you took her from me”. I love that this line seems a combination of Superman referring to Lois as “my world” in Superman: For Tomorrow and also Superman stating “you took her from me” in Infinite Crisis #5. ImageImageImageImage
And finally, we get Flash suit in #BatmanvSuperman which has some design similarities with a Flash suit from Earth 2: Society #5 (which @naveensp helped me find!). This is also interesting since this run is coincidental with #BvS filming and is about another Earth. ImageImage
And that brings to an end my Knightmare scene threads! Four parts full of references to the DC world, some to some very relevant storyline in the comics. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse Image

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 ImageImageImageImage

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 Image
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! Image
First off, there are several homages in the Metropolis funeral in #BvS to Funeral for a Friend. ImageImageImageImage

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 Image
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. ImageImage

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. Image
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. ImageImage

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! ImageImage
So, we start with Clark saying to Lois how much he loves her before his final fight with Doomsday. ImageImage

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 Image
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. ImageImage
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). ImageImage
