From burger boxes to oversized swords, there’s a lot to unpack in Blue Beetle! DC’s newest movie—its third this year—is a coming-of-age tale that combines superhero action, high-stakes drama and lighthearted comedy. You don’t have to be a longtime comic book reader to love this movie, but if you are, there are plenty of cool things to feast your eyes on. Blue Beetle brought so many characters and concepts to life that I never thought we would see in a live action film. Did I make a list of Easter eggs? You bet I made a list of Easter eggs! Let’s break them down…

Did you catch all of these Blue Beetle Easter eggs? Were there any I missed? There’s definitely a lot to look out for in this movie, so I wouldn’t be surprised. Let me know any additional ones you caught over in the DC Community, and I’ll see you at the theater!

Blue Beetle, directed by Angel Manuel Soto and starring Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes, lands in theaters this Friday, August 18th.
