A Hidden Gem in Superman’s DCU
James Gunn’s Superman movie has been praised for its unique approach, mixing heartfelt storytelling with superhero action. But if you’re a fan who loves hunting for Easter eggs, the Justice Gang’s Hall of Justice mural is a real treat. It’s a colorful piece packed with 26 characters from the DC Universe, some easy to spot and others that only hardcore fans might recognize.
The mural appears briefly in the movie, but Gunn shared the full artwork on his social media, giving fans a chance to study it closely and guess who’s who. You can check out the mural artwork yourself here:

Who’s in the Mural?
Among the characters featured are Ms. Liberty on the horse, The Sandman holding a gun (not the Neil Gaiman version), Liberty Belle, Amazing Man, Zatara (Zatanna’s father), and Wildcat. Plus, Maxwell Lord, played by Sean Gunn, is there too — an important figure funding the Justice Gang. He’s already popped up in the film and is set to appear more in the DC Universe, especially with the upcoming Peacemaker season two.
This mural ties into over 300 years of metahuman history in the DCU, making it a fascinating snapshot of the universe’s legacy. Fans have been speculating about whether all these characters truly exist in the DCU’s canon. Gunn responded clearly when asked:
“It’s canon that this is a mural in the Hall of Justice, yes.”
Fan Reactions and What’s Next
Since the mural’s reveal, fans have been busy guessing the identities of each character and sharing their excitement. One popular request is for a solo movie about Zatanna and her father, with a fan even urging Gunn, “We need a solo movie about Zatanna and her father ASAP, James!” That’s a call many would agree with.
If you spot any other characters in the mural or want to share why you think a Zatanna movie is overdue, jump into the conversation. This Easter egg isn’t just a fun visual — it’s a window into the future stories and rich lore of the DC Universe.
