When it comes to comic books being adapted for the big screen, Neil Gaiman’s fan favorite series The Sandman has been a long time coming. A movie adaptation had been in the works for some time, but struggled to find the light of day. Thankfully The Sandman finally made its way to screens in episodic form on Netflix and we are all the better for it, as it is arguably one of the best comic adaptations of recent times, and stays (mostly) true to the source material. It even has some pretty fun and quirky Gaimanisms in there too! Because of how closely it sticks to the source material, the show makes a number of references to the text, but also leaves some things fairly quiet. It is also packed full of Easter Eggs and hidden call backs that you may have missed on the first viewing.
That’s why we thought we would comb through the sand and look for some hidden dreamy treasures as we uncover 25 or so things you might have missed. That includes the true meaning and powers behind some of the major objects in the show, the comic book fate of some particular characters, references to the world of DC and some of its biggest locations, some hidden setups for a likely second season, some references to major DC villains (and how they relate to the Justice League), references and links to other characters, comics and shows, some hidden symbolism and just some general pieces of fun trivia that you might not have known about the comic book, show and the characters that make up The Sandman. So without further ado, these are 25 things you might have missed in The Sandman!
