Filming on DC’s Batgirl movie is currently underway, and the film’s Glasgow production is currently providing some interesting hints to its role in the DC Universe. A deluge of Easter eggs and in-universe ephemera have alluded to some intriguing aspects of previous DC films — and it looks like one of the latest has a reference to 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. An in-universe issue of Gotham Tattler, which you can check out below, focuses on Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, who is currently behind bars and hiring a new lawyer. This provides one of the most unexpected ties to the larger DCEU that the film has had, especially since we last canonically saw Lex out of prison and plotting his revenge. Given the fact that we know Michael Keaton’s Batman will be appearing in the film, the notion that the events of BvS still exist in some capacity is interesting.
