June 18, 2013: Ultimate "Man of Steel" Easter Eggs and References Guide - Part 2

Man of Steel Jeffrey Taylor has published the second part of his article at Movies.com highlighting all the "Easter Eggs" and references that Superman fans and comic book fans might have missed in "Man of Steel".

    One major cameo casting probably occurred on purpose. Aaron Smolinski was a communications officer in the scene where Superman surrendered himself to the military. He was the toddler Kal-El after landing on Earth in the 1978 Superman film as well as the boy at the photo booth that Superman gave a picture to in the comedic opening sequence of Superman III.

    The Lexcorp logo can be seen at least twice in the film during the Zod fight in Metropolis. Once on the side of a gas truck and again when the Waynetech satellite falls to Earth in pieces. Lexcorp was first introduced in the 1986 comic book reboot that turned Lex Luthor from a mad scientist into a businessman/billionaire.

    Of course the Waynetech satellite also bears mentioning. It most certainly belongs to Bruce Wayne. The logo flashes upside down and it happens quickly, so it can be difficult to catch.
