The Brightburn End Crime Scene Alludes to the Wicked Wonder Woman and Aquaman

The horror film produced by James Gunn Brightburn was inaugurated this weekend in movie theaters . Of course, although Brightburn is not a Superman story, the extraordinary alien at the center of the film is not alone in its universe of sinister super powers – including the evil take on Wonder Woman and Aquaman in the end credits scene.

Spoilers for Brightburn below

Brightburn tells the story of a young man who arrives on Earth as a baby and is discovered and welcomed by a couple married. . The couple raises the boy as theirs, but as he gets older, he discovers that he has powers and that he does not look like anyone on earth. When his powers have emerged, others have trouble understanding who he is. Unlike a more familiar superhero story, the boy does not want to use his powers wisely. Instead, the boy undergoes great changes and takes a terrifying turn that results in a devastating and terrible force that can not be mastered.

After Brandon Breyer (Jackson A. Dunn) ravaged the small town of Brightburn, Kansas – Including the murder of his two adoptive parents and posing as an innocent survivor orphaned, the scene of the film shows that Brandon is the masked "Brightburn", continuing his violence and terror against the human population. As things go on, a plot-style conspiracy theorist, The Big T (Michael Rooker), tries to warn his listeners in Brightburn and go a step further than the threat in Kansas. It refers to a "half-man, half-marine creature" in the ocean and a woman who strangles her victims with a rope – descriptions that refer to the evil types of Aquaman and Wonder Woman in "Brightburnverse".

It's starting to look like the scariest justice league of all time, but if the characters have some similarities to DC Comics's popular characters, it's important to note that they're not really representations of the characters. This is an important detail and, according to Gunn, he has encountered no problem regarding similarities of character mainly because the concepts are rather general.

"Well no, because many similar stories have been told in comics, over the years, from all sorts of comic book publishers," Gunn told CinePop. "And I have very good relations with DC [laughs]."

Brightburn is now in the room.
