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!
Batman (as the trained warrior he is) reacting like Zod in #ManofSteel to getting Superman’s powers. First, confused and affected by them. Then, adapting to them. Pretty crazy similarities!
Powerless Superman gets a “Batman” suit created by Alfred. In some of the art it looks similar to a combination of the Kryptonian’s armor and their underneath suit in #ManofSteel.
Clark has some dialogue about punching someone’s car out of space close to what he does in #ManofSteel to the abusive truck driver.
In addition, the comic has this beautiful moment with Bruce imaginary parents (which then turns into a crushing one) where they tell him how proud they are of him. It made me remember a lot Martian Manhunter’s beautiful moment with Bruce at the end of #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague
Related to this, Bruce is quite unforgiving with his behavior once the magic spell is done. In some ways very similar to how unforgiving he is during #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague with how he treated Superman.
And I wanted to close out the thread with a panel I love from the comic. Batman and Superman rebuilding the league’s headquarter (and also their relationship) and traveling back to Earth where you can see their silhouettes. Just beautiful from a very recommended comic run!

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
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.
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.
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).
