Director James Gunn\u2019s Superman<\/em> has been a hit<\/a>, hailed for swerving in a different direction than most comic book blockbusters. As our review<\/a> puts it, \u201cGunn knows how to locate the human frailty in big-budget behemoths without weighing them down.\u201d The movie spotlights everything from the tenderness of its hero<\/a> to the complex Lois Lane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Being a comic book movie, it\u2019s also dotted with easter eggs, cameos, and references for hardcore fans to eat up. Perhaps its biggest easter egg is the mural that shows up in the Justice Gang\u2019s Hall of Justice, the headquarters for Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific. Viewers don\u2019t get the best glimpses at it in the film, but the director shared its artwork<\/a> in full on Friday to give fans a better view.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The 26 characters in the mural are a \u201cwho\u2019s who\u201d of deep cuts from DC history and lore. We\u2019ve spotted a few ourselves, like Ms. Liberty on the horse, The Sandman holding the gun (unrelated to the Neil Gaiman character), Liberty Belle, Amazing Man, Zatara (father of Zatanna), and Wildcat. The mural also depict Sean Gunn\u2019s Maxwell Lord, who funds the Justice Gang. He\u2019s mentioned a few times in the film and cameos at the end, but expect him the play a larger role as the DCU develops<\/a>. He and the Justice Gang are next slated to appear in Peacemaker<\/em> season two.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot to dig into here in the mural, especially how it relates the 300 years of metahuman history<\/a> in the burgeoning DCU. One fan asked on X if it was canon, likely meaning if all the characters featured were real metahuman heroes in the DCU. Gunn, not to be tripped up, only stated, \u201cIt’s canon that this is a mural in the Hall of Justice, yes.\u201d Other users in his replies threw out their guesses as to who\u2019s featured, while one asked Grok to do their work for them (lame). Another wrote, \u201cWe need a solo movie about Zatanna and her father ASAP, James!\u201d and I\u2019m hard-pressed to agree.<\/p>\n

Let us know in the comments who you spot in the mural, and why you agree that Zatanna needs a movie pronto.<\/p>\n
