10 Mind-Blowing Continuity Details In DCEU Only Eagle-Eyed Fans Noticed

The DC Extended Universe has done the tiring work of bringing some of the best comic book characters on screen. It has been known for many shortcomings over the past few years but has still managed to keep a firm grip over the real-world application of its comics narrative. DCEU has garnered quite a few Marvel fans towards its side, even if it was for a few minutes, hours, or days. Through its 7 films over the last 7 years, not taking into account 2020, DCEU has somehow managed to stick to its storytelling roots. Many times it has been witnessed that while creating a narrative, directors or filmmakers were seen forgetting the plot in the previous prequel or narrative of the film. But, DCEU has managed to keep the continuity of the narrative intact. They have ensured a consistent continuity of several plots within the narrative. So, here is a list of Impressive Continuity Details That Prove the DCEU Deserves More Credit.

 

Harley wants a normal life

DCEU has made a very reference to Harley Quinn wanting a family life with The Joker, on several occasions. She was even heard referring to the same said life in 2016’s ‘Suicide Squad’, where she claimed normal was a setting on one’s dryer and people like her can never have it.

That is why in the entire DCEU narrative, you could always see Superman keep an ear out for his mother and Lois Lane.

In the movie Dawn of Justice, after Superman is killed, Lex Luthor is sent to the ‘Belle Reve’ penitentiary. The same penitentiary where the team for the “Suicide Squad” was assembled.
