* In the final stinger, [[spoiler:Luthor's escape being discovered only after finding an imposter in his cell]] is taken from ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke''. The reference is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by showing the imposter in close-up wearing a [[ComicBook/TheJoker big, teethy grin]].

* The story of Steppenwolf leading an invasion of Earth which failed and left him marooned and cut off from Apokolips and from Darkseid, is taken from the alternate universe ''ComicBook/Earth2'' comics.



* The Justice League being forced to [[spoiler:bring Superman back to life to help them, who manages to turn the tide of the battle in the heroes' favor with his presence and curbstomp Steppenwolf]] is highly similar to ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs''' story mode where [[spoiler:Superman is transported to the Injustice Earth, manages to save his fellow members and defeat the BigBad, the Injustice version of himself]].

* In the post-credits sequence [[spoiler:the escaped Lex Luthor]] is shown to have a pair of BodyguardBabes standing right behind him during the meeting, just as he often does in the comics. They aren't named in the movie, but one of them is [[spoiler:blonde and the other is black]], fitting the description of [[spoiler:Luthor's]] most famous bodyguards, [[spoiler:Mercy and Hope]].

* Aquaman's confession when he's accidentally wrapped in the Lasso of Truth is similar to Steve Trevor in the 2009 ''WesternAnimation/{{Wonder Woman|2009}}'' animated film.
* Batman has the Batmobile set up to play what Alfred calls his "greatest hits" (ie. a frequency that affects Parademons). The last Batman that used his Batmobile to play music was ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie LEGO Batman.]]''
* Superman returns to the battlefield saying "Well I believe in truth... I'm also a huge fan of justice." It's also a subtle nod to how "the American way" is being phased out due to political correctness, the same way that this movie and that cartoon weren't called "Justice League of America" instead.

Steppenwolf's [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty treatment]] of her is highly reminiscent of Hades in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''. Curiously, both being share a similar background as evil deities trying to take over the world in the distant past and the Amazons being charged with guarding one of the items that are important to their return.

* Bruce gets the Kent farm back for Clark, alluding to the time in the comics when he bought Clark and Lois their apartment. (To drive home the resemblance; in the comics Bruce doesn't just "get them the apartment", he ''buys the building''. In the movie when Clark asks how he got the farm back from the bank, Bruce casually explains "I bought the bank".)
