Easter Eggs (SPOILERS)

[titansupes]

If this is the hat you guys are talking about, it's definitely not a GL symbol. It's the US Military insignia for 'Captain'.

CBM has an image of the skyline during the Superman/Zod fight and there is a shot of the WGBS building.
THAT is an Easter Egg.

i like you guys theories on the kryptonian environment...


but I think that w actually SAW kryptonite, irradiated pieces of krypton left over from its explosion when the BLack Zero first teleported and reappeared.

When it reappeared there were clear pieces of krypton spinning away from where it teleported.

 

[John Lambert]

Where was the Kryptonite?

I actually thought "Kryptonite" when Jonathan tells Clark that the key is made of an element not in the periodic table. However since the key does not weaken Clark, it is clearly not normal kryptonite.

Some new stuff I found...
Alessandro Juliani, who played Sergeant Sedowsky also played Emil Hamilton on Smallvile.
Superman's suit is defined in this film as an under garment. All the battle armor goes on top. So technically Superman is fighting in his underwear.
Mackenzie Gray, who plays Jax ur, played a clone of Lex in Smallville.
Zod's broadcast to Earth is made in English, Chinese, Portuguese, Esperanto and Klingon.
Laurence Fishburne based his performance on CBS Ed Bradley, hence the piercing.
Aaron Smolinski who plays the communications officer, played baby Clark Kent in Superman the movie.
Tahmoh Penikett and Alessandro Juliani are part of a team investigating a spacecraft that landed thousands of years ago. Both were in Battlestar Galactica, which ended with a ship arriving on earth several thousand years in the past.

Just saw this on tumblr, along with the Wayne Enterprises logo, there's a "Keep Calm and Call Batman" poster in MoS, I had no idea.

I just verified this just now with my own copy of MoS as well, mind is blown

 

[Rorschach2012]

That Brainiac easter egg isn't reaching. Why would they put that in there...

This is just great.

Ha, that's really awesome.

This is of course not a real Easter Egg or even a nod to anything DC related. I could however not help but spontaneously think that when Zod's ships were approaching Lara and Jor-El's house, and in a short scene you see the big sun in the backround turning ships into silhuettes, that it visually felt very inspired by/maybe an homage to Apocalypse Now with its now iconic helicopter scenes. Nevertheless, these scenes are very gratifying visually. Doomsday and beauty at the same time.

Zod's ships:

That Brainiac easter egg isn't reaching. Why would they put that in there...

I agree.

I don't think anyone's insinuating that Brainiac is on that ship, but he is made from Kryptonian tech (in more recent iterations anyway), so why would'nt the design be consistent?


Also I found a quote from Wikipedia regarding Brainiac:

In early appearances in the Silver Age comics, he had a purplish flying saucer. Since then, however, he has used a giant, green/metallic skull-shaped space ship with metallic tentacles.

If that ship isn't a Brainiac reference, I'll eat my hat.

EDIT: First I'll buy a hat, then I'll eat it.

So that world engine is brainiac!!!???

 

[Willi Berg]

So that world engine is brainiac!!!???

It could very well be a reference because of the early reports that Brainiac was going to be the main villain, before they changed it to Zod. The World Engine is very much similar to what Brainiac does to a planet.

In case anyone missed any of these, these are floating around online:
