Justice League's promotional campaign is in full swing - and one of its newest posters has an awesome DC Comics Easter egg.

The poster, which was revealed earlier this week, shows the team's various members in heroic poses. As some fans have begun to notice, Barry Allen/The Flash's (Ezra Miller) pose evokes the cover for Flashpoint #1.

While the poses aren't 100% exact (namely, the placement of Barry's left arm), it's hard to deny just how similar they are.

There is also a bit of irony to The Flash evoking this Flashpoint pose, considering the impact the comic miniseries has already had on the DCEU. Some have even speculated that Barry's first DCEU appearance - in Batman v. Superman - is linked to the comic event. After years of development and director changes, the upcoming solo Flash movie will reportedly be called Flashpoint.

Details are still slim on the movie, seeing as the Flashpoint comic has a lot of plot to choose from. But DC characters like Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Batman v. Superman's Thomas and Martha Wayne (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan) have been linked to the project in one way or another.

This isn't the first Easter egg tied to Justice League's portrayal of The Flash. A still released last month gave fans a mountain of new Easter eggs, referencing Captain Cold, Action Comics, and even Rick and Morty.

Fans will just have to wait and see what other Easter eggs are tied to The Flash when Justice League lands in theaters on November 17, 2017.
