“I really just wanted to say, ‘This is the DC Universe.’ And whether or not it’s the Wayne Enterprises of Chris Nolan’s movies or whether it’s the Wayne Enterprises of DC in general, that’s yet to be seen.” “It does say Wayne Enterprises on the satellite, but you can only see half of it,” explains Snyder. Booster Gold for the sequel! Get [Eric Martsolf back from Smallville! Or… someone else! “ On the Blaze Comics reference…] it’s all stuff that we talk about and we go, ‘Oh that’s fun, we should do that.’” In other words, these are not set-in-stone sequel seeds, but heck, let’s theorise wildly anyway. Though it’s fun to read a little too much into these references, Snyder, alas, has some cold water to pour on any easily-excited heads. Amongst other powers, he can also fly, but when you can travel through time, other superpowers tend to pale in significance. Sometimes there are comics within comics, and Blaze Comics are just that: comics within the Superman universe, best known for sharing the adventures of Booster Gold, a showboating one-time Justice Leaguer who rocks sweet yellow shades and the ability to time travel. We always thought that was Pinky & The Brain. Incidentally, John 'D.J.' Des Jardin has previously worked with Snyder on Watchmen and Sucker Punch, and boasts one of the weirdest pieces of IMDB trivia out there: “Famous for making the word ‘gadzooks’ popular.” Huh. As we all know, Snyder was keen to announce that there was none of the green glowing crystal to be seen in Man Of Steel, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t crop up next time around – watch this video interview for more details – and perhaps Gallo might have something to do with it… In the comics, the owner of the Utopia Casino was Tony Gallo, an unscrupulous businessman from Nevada involved in first bringing Superman into contact with Kryptonite. “He snuck that in there and I was like, ‘That’s awesome.’” “ The, yeah, well that’s John 'D.J.' Des Jardin, my visual effects supervisor,” says Snyder.
D Neg is the visual effects company here in London that worked on all the Dark Knight movies, and they definitely did that. “When Zod’s tearing the building apart with his heat vision, there’s a Be Calm And Call Batman sign on the wall there, just really small,” says Snyder, “You might even have to stop the movie to see it but it’s definitely in there. Any we’ve missed? Let us know in the comment box below. After speaking to the two of them for our spoiler podcast and video interviews, we’ve collated some of the stand-out bits of geekery from Kal-El’s cinematic return. Goyer are self-confessed comic book nerds, the kind of guys who casually reference classic Superman covers and are more than happy to sneak geeky references into a multi-million dollar superhero movie.
