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
After that, Superman comes back pushes Doomsday into a tank like structure that explodes. In a very similar way, Doomsday after being pushed by Superman hits a Metropolis Powerlight structure that explodes in Superman: The Man of Steel #19 (from TDoS storyline). ImageImage
And next is the classical trinity image which again might reference a gazillion comics. A while back I did an edit comparing it to the DCAU and a cover by Jim Lee. Image
There is also another edit that I found around from this battle that I really like. Unfortunately I don’t know the original author (it has a watermark but cannot find it in twitter). So, if somebody knows the original author, tag them in the comments! Image
Then we get to Wonder Woman splitting a car in half. And in a #ZackSnyderisTheBluePrint moment we have The Death of Superman animated movie (2018) replicating this scene!
Next in the scene is Superman’s eye beams facing Doomsday. Partly they resemble a classic panel from Superman #75 (TDoS storyline), but they also look like a panel from Superman Earth One Vol #1. ImageImageImageImage
Doomsday has his own eye beams resembling the Doomsday in All Star Superman #4. ImageImage
And towards the end of the scene we get one of the most famous and recognizable homages in #BatmanvSuperman to The Dark Knight Returns #1 cover. And in a very classic Zack Snyder fashion, he homages the most Batman moment… ImageImage
…where in the comic it shows the biggest triumphant return to combat crime for Batman in all its glory. And in #BvS immediately after this homage, we see Batman scrambling and fumbling (very unlike him) against Doomsday. ImageImage
But this also has meaning for the story. As Batman is quite out of his depth here, facing alien monsters he never faced before. Something he’s going to prepare for in #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague in quite the Batman fashion!
So that’s it 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…
A couple of bonus tracks to this thread courtesy of @NaveenShankarSP. First, this one is from Batman/Superman #6 (2019)
He shared another amazing Trinity shot this one from DC: The New Frontier that is referenced quite a bit in #BatmanvSuperman so really worth adding it!
And last one from Wonder Woman fighting Doomsday in Superman: The Doomsday Wars #1 just like in #BvS ImageImage

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

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 Fallout scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood Image
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. ImageImageImageImage
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. ImageImage
