He may not have been the first live-action Superman (that was Kirk Alyn) but George Reeves was the Man of Steel for a generation before Christopher Reeve soared onto the big screen in 1978. Reeves starred in Superman and the Mole Men and then in the beloved 1950s TV series Adventures of Superman. Reeves’ Superman is digitally recreated here in blac...
Holy crossover! TV’s beloved Caped Crusaderappears briefly in the climactic Chronobowl sequence where he’s seen sprinting down the street. Adam West’s distinctive stentorian voice can also be heard. Nice to see you again, old chum.
1984’s Supergirl movie spin-off was produced during Christopher Reeve’s tenure as the big screen’s Man of Steel and it acknowledged that Helen Slater’s Kara Zor-El was Kal-El’s cousin. However, the two Kryptonians never shared the screen … until now. One of the worlds depicted during the climactic Chronobowl sequence is the Earth inhabited by Reeve...
The appearance of a long-haired Nic Cage as the Man of Steel is one of the biggest (and, to some, most confounding) surprises in The Flash simply because it’s an homage to a DC movie that was never made. Cage was cast as Kal-El in director Tim Burton’s Superman Lives, a 1990s project that Kevin Smith first scripted. Superman Lives was pretty far al...
DC Comics’ original Flash, Jay Garrick, appears during the third act Chronobowl sequence where he’s played by actor Teddy Sears. Sears had a recurring role on The CW’s The Flash where viewers first believed him to be playing Garrick until it was later revealed that his character was, in fact, the villainous Zoom all along. Judging from how he’s pre...

Gal Gadot’s Diana shows up just in time to help Batman and Flash stop a group of terrorists, with her Lasso of Truth proving to embarrass her fellow Justice League members before she flies away, possibly for the final time.
Jason Momoa’s very inebriated Arthur Curry appears in The Flash’s post-credits scene where he and Barry Allen stagger out of a dive bar after a night of heaving drinking that has them assessing whose metabolism is better. It should be noted that this isn’t the same Arthur Curry from Barry’s universe as he now appears to be in an altered reality. Ba...
Temuera Morrison reprises his Aquaman role as Maine lighthouse keeper Tom Curry. In this film, however, he is in a separate timeline where he never met Atlanna and thus Aquaman was never born. Instead, Tom named his dog Arthur and he’s married to a different woman.
The Flash’s final scene before the credits roll finds Barry Allen back in what initially appears to be the correct universe. He gets a call from Bruce Wayne, who is driving up to meet him. But Barry is stunned to see that this isn’t Ben Affleck’s Bruce but one he’s never met before, George Clooney’s version from 1997’s Batman & Robin (albeit now sp...
