Director Ángel Manuel Soto pays homage to the source material in Blue Beetle through various Easter Eggs, including a Green Lantern nod and a reference to the Martian Manhunter.
The film includes a playful reference to Bruce Wayne and Elon Musk, highlighting the larger DC Universe and injecting humor into the storyline.
Despite some Easter Eggs being left out of the final cut, Blue Beetle successfully establishes its own unique story within the DC Cinematic Universe, with nods to other DC mega-corporations and superheroes.
