Lanterns Episode 7 quietly slipped a Flash connection into Hal Jordan’s past, and most viewers missed it completely. A new breakdown points out the hidden DC Comics nods throughout the latest episode, from subtle name drops to references that could hint at the DCU’s future.

List of key Lanterns Easter eggs you may not have noticed in Episode 7

Central City gets a name drop

Martin Jordan asks young Hal, “Did you guys beat Central?” In DC Comics, Central City serves as the home base of Barry Allen, the Flash.

Hal’s jersey and the Tigers

Young Hal wears the number 3, a possible nod to Green Lantern #3. His team, the Tigers, may reference John Stewart’s favorite Detroit Tigers.

Martin Jordan’s Bomber jacket

Martin arrives in a brown bomber jacket resembling his comic attire. In the comics, Martin gives Hal his flight jacket on the day of his fatal accident.

Queen’s ‘Father to Son’

The Queen track bookends the episode, returning when young Hal picks up the baseball. Later, Hal echoes the song’s title while telling John about his father’s letter.

Ferris aircraft

The aircraft base is likely Ferris Aircraft in Coast City. In the comics, both Martin and Hal work there as test pilots.

Melanie at the funeral

Martin’s funeral features Melanie’s cover of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.” The pilot featured Melanie’s “Brand New Key.”

Mogo and Ch’p

Hal explains Mogo’s absence from his funeral: “Mogo’s a goddamn planet.” In the comics, Ch’p died before Hal’s funeral.

The Radio Flip Side

John’s radio lands on KC and the Sunshine Band’s “Shake Your Booty.” The song sits on the flip side of “Boogie Shoes,” which Hal played in the pilot.

Noah’s jersey

Noah wears the number 18 at his hat ceremony. Green Lantern #18 also features the yellow planet John visits later.

The Yellow Planet

The yellow world appears to adapt Qward, a planet in the antimatter universe. There, Qward’s Weaponers help Sinestro forge the yellow power ring.
