Black Adam Easter Eggs Explained
1. The Justice League Reference
The first major Black Adam Easter Eggs comes at the start of the movie when Teth Adam is abruptly awakened from his sleep. The almighty-powered supervillain starts to shuffle things around and hits several objects in the room. Furthermore, the DC anti-hero delivers a strong punch on the door and creates a hole with his fist.
The poster attached to the door was Superman’s iconic logo, which got smashed by a single-handed punch from Teth. This featured the first reference to the Man of Steel, who would soon be his arch-nemesis.
2. Amanda Waller Makes an Appearance
Viola Davis made his debut the DC universe with the 2016 film Suicide Squad. Ever since then her character has been a comic-accurate depiction of Amanda Blake Waller, the head of powerful law enforcement responsible for carrying out several espionage acts using Super-Villains.
Her character makes an appearance right at the beginning of the film, where she warns about the imminent danger of Keth Adams and formulates the idea of a Justice Society.

3. The Justice Society Javlin
The group of superheroes that assembled to stop Teth Adam and his carnage (also known as the Justice Society of America), perform their duties to protect each life, irrespective of their side. Moreover, fans of the DC animated series can easily spot Justice Society’s Javlin Jet, which they use for the takeoff.
The jet is shown quite prolifically in the movie, and also acts as the releasing point for Cyclone and Atom Smasher.
4. Man of Steel Reference
Black Adam features a typical scene reference from Man of Steel(2013), during its last act. We can easily observe the visual similarity between Teth Adam floating powerless in the sea, in comparison to Clark kent’s ocean dive. The moment comes right before both the characters regain their power and end their arch-nemesis.
