A fair bit of Justice League takes place in Gotham and the filmmakers don’t miss the opportunity to squeeze in a few references to Batman’s friends and foes.

One that was previously included in the trailers is Alfred’s lament about the dangerous threat of Steppenwolf. “One misses the days when one’s biggest concerns were exploding. wind-up penguins,” says the faithful butler. This is obviously a reference to iconic Batman villain Oswald Cobblepot AKA the Penguin.

One that’s easier to miss can be glimpsed when Batman is tussling with a parademon at the beginning of the film and they pass a neon sign reading ‘Janus.’ The name of the two-faced Greek God, this ties in with the Greek myths leanings of the film and also brings to mind Harvey Dent AKA Two-Face. However, it’s most likely a nod to Janus Cosmetics, the company run by Roman Sionis AKA Black Mask. Is this a reminder that he might be appearing in Gotham City Sirens?

On the side of the law, J.K. Simmons’ Commissioner Gordon has little more than a couple of cameos in Justice League. In one, he’s chatting with a fellow officer. This is Crispus Allen (played by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith), a detective from the Gotham Central comics.
