An Easter egg for HBO’s Watchmen was spotted in Crisis on Infinite Earths and has now been confirmed by showrunner Marc Guggenheim.
Crisis on Infinite Earths still has two parts to go, but there have already been a plethora of references to many DC television shows from over the years. As Crisis on Infinite Earths began this week and concludes next year, HBO’s Watchmen comes to an end on Sunday.
HBO’s Watchmen series may be one of DCTV’s best, but no one was expecting in to factor into the ultimate crossover event, Crisis on Infinite Earths. However, in Crisis on Infinite Earths part three, fans noticed that there was a Watchmen billboard with a squid on Lucifer’s Earth-666. Crisis on Infinite Earths showrunner Marc Guggenheim later confirmed the Watchmen Easter egg on Twitter while thanking Damon Lindelof.
Finally. Someone noticed. Special thanks to Damon Lindelof for making this one happen. https://t.co/i97GkvxOfR
