That would be The Matrix, as in the future Brainiac rules the world and…well, try and tell me this doesn’t make you think of the Matrix. I dare you.
Then we’ve got Back to the Future, as without the Speed Force there is nothing to protect Bart from being phased out of the timeline by nature of no longer existing. Totally Marty McFly style too with his body going opaque.
Not bad as far as homages go, not bad at all.
