If you head out to see "Batman v Superman" and are a fan of "The Walking Dead," you're in for an extra surprise.

The beginning of the film has an unintentional nod to the show.

Viewers are introduced to Batman's famed origin story, which quickly shows Bruce Wayne's parents murdered on the street after leaving a theater. Actors Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan play the couple, Martha and Thomas Wayne.

If you're familiar with "The Walking Dead," those two actors should sound very familiar.

"The Walking Dead" reunion is extra funny if you're familiar with the comics.

During Negan's big entrance in issue #100 of "The Walking Dead," he brutally murders Maggie's husband, Glenn. He doesn't just murder him, he bashes his skull in with a barbed-wired baseball bat. It was one of the most shocking moments in the comic series.

Negan is expected to make his big entrance onto "The Walking Dead" during the season six finale April 3. He was just teased in an upcoming series promo. Fans are anxious to see if the iconic scene will play out on screen. 

So to see the man who plays Negan lovingly alongside the actress who plays Maggie is pretty funny, especially weeks before "The Walking Dead" finale, and when you know that Maggie is currently pregnant on the AMC series.

Fans are loving it.
