In Superman: The Movie (1978), Otis tries to add ‘Otisburg’ to Lex Luthor’s map. In Superman (2025), the character is credited as Otis Berg — a nod to that moment.
I had just rewatched '78 in preparation for the new release, so that name jumped out at me when I was watching the credits hoping for a bit of the John Williams' score to come on.

1. If I was Lex, I’d have let him keep it. He may have been an idiot, but he was Lex’s idiot.
2. On the other hand, I LOVE how competent the 2025 verison was. I am not a fan of the bumbling henchman trope.
Otisburg is now canonically a neighborhood of Gotham City:
