Earlier today, HBO Max released a trio of promotional posters for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, along with the film’s official release date and a new synopsis that slightly tweaks the one that had been used for the theatrical cut of the film. One of the three posters, though, stuck out to fans – as the image it bears is an homage to one of the most iconic comic book covers of the last 30 years. The cover in question – Superman #75, by Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding – was the cover to “The Death of Superman” and has also been used as the cover to numerous collected editions of the story in the years since it was first published.

.@thedanjurgens, @JonBogdanove, @JerryOrdway, & many more not on Twitter made this era of Superman, and this story in particular, a seminal comics experience for a generation of readers. It’s no surprise this was also homaged in #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths. pic.twitter.com/Y2rsCI7a6G
