While Marvel got a head start on the whole “connected universe” thing, DC and Warner Bros. have done their best to catch up. Both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad contained numerous easter eggs, including one that confirms a longtime DC staple.

The studio launched a viral website for the movie called Argus-gov. The site allows you to research files for the various Squad team members, including names like Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc, and Slipknot. While the resident rope expert wasn’t featured in the movie very long, they did manage to sneak in a Flash easter egg thanks to her personnel file (via Reddit).
In the other info section of the file, it notes that the character was moved from Alabama to Keystone City, Keystone being the city that The Flash calls home. Depending on the source, the city is sometimes called Central City, but it looks like the DC Cinematic Universe favors Keystone. You can view the image up close in the gallery.
