I caught the LexCorp truck and the Wayne satellite. Any ones I missed?
Any other Man of Steel Easter eggs?
I don't know if it's an easter egg but more of a nod but at the end, the female soldier who said Superman was "kinda hot" had "Ferris" as her name tag. Nod to GL and Carol.
But I'm also curious about the easter eggs, good idea for the thread.
Other interesting ones I found:
- One of Zod's soldiers is named Nam-Ek, who was not only a Kryptonian in the comics, but also a possible reference to Namek, a character in Dragonball (Which is basically the Japanese Superman)
- The photo of Clark with his father in the Science Fair lists the high school as 'Weisinger', a reference to Mort Weisinger (editor of Superman for years)
- Jax-Ur is one of Zod's soldiers apparently.
- There's a reference to Krypton's ancestors being Daxamites.
When the bus goes off the bridge, the camera pans over a guy getting out of his car to go watch. He looks a lot like Ryan Reynolds.
I don't get that one, what's it a reference to? GL? Or just Ryan Reynolds?

Well, if it WAS RR then he would be confirming the GL movie is connected to MoS.
@havenless: When I saw that I thought it was Jonathan Kent. I hope GL isn't included in the DC Cinematic Universe.
One of the bullies was named Ken Braverman.
Colonel Hardy's codename was Guardian.
The Ace o' Clubs is in the movie.

Namek is a planet in Dragon Ball, but still cool nonetheless.
Daxamites were mentioned by the council of krypton. Supergirl's open bed in the fortress. Carol ferris saying superman is hot. Wayne enterprises satellite that zod destroys. Lexcorp semi truck. Ryan Reynolds jumping out of car.

Pretty sure her name was Farris, not Ferris.
@jldoom: I'm positive it said Ferris....I'll have to rewatch the movie and see :P
@glitch_spawn: Lois from Smallville? That would have been great. Way better than a random actor.
@rulerofthisuniverse: It should definitely be a part of the DCCU! The first movie was meh, but if they get a good story and good people to work on it then it would be very epic. Don't toss the idea in the trash just yet!
@sagejonathan: I'm not sure if they could pull it off, mostly because people recognize it as a bad movie. If they do use it in the DCCU, they would have to do what Hulk did in the Avengers: Try to reinvent the character for the new movie. Don't reuse Ryan Reynolds (he already said he doesn't want to do a sequel), and make the character cool in Justice League. Also, if that goes well, they should make a sequel based on that version (without having anything to do with the writers of the first one).
Star Labs was mentioned.
You know i keep getting told about this but i always miss it, when does it happen?
@stormbox: It was one of the military scenes, conversation going on in the background.
@novarichrider: Thanks, i'll have to pay a lot more of attention next time

Haha whoops my bad, sorry not much of a DB fan.
@arturocalakayvee: Well, I just checked on IMDB and it says that her name is Carrie Farris. I dont know why they'd go with a name that kinda sounds like Carol Ferris without being her but whatever maybe it was unintentional.

Ah, alright. You win this round :P. I think the point of Carrie Farris was so it intentionally sounded like Carol Ferris.
Man, I'll need to re-watch this and pay more attention for the stuff people have been mentioning. I only caught Lex-Corp and the trident thing.
I can't believe I totally missed a Wayne Enterprises refrance...
Not an Easter Egg, but there is only one moment in the film where a character draws open his coat to reveal the Superman symbol: Jor-El.
The C-17 transport used in the film is on display at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. It was a popular choice for use in films, and the aircrew would stamp the side near the entry hatch with a symbol for each film completed. Robert Downey Jr stepped out of that same aircraft after Tony Stark's rescue in Iron Man. He also 'jumped' out of it in Iron Man II. The survivors of the attack in Qatar from Transformers were filmed on it, and the lifeless body of Optimus Prime flew back on it in Transformers II.
@battle_forum_junkie: It's actually really hard to spot. I watched MoS with my friend, who knew it was there before we saw it and pointed it out when it appeared.
@arturocalakayvee: Yeah, but they could've used Carol instead. Just sayin' :P
Did anyone notice when Jor-El was swimming through the stream to get to the codex that one of the babies was being plucked out of there? I know everyone is saying that the empty pod refers to the supergirl origin because of the comic but the baby being taken during the destruction of krypton could be supergirl also.
