The DC universe feels uniquely plagued by these confusing reboots: it’s a franchise that has movies called Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad, neither of which is currently canon. With Peacemaker Season 2 premiering in just a few weeks, Gunn has explained just where it fits in DC canon. “The DCU begins, canonically, with Creature Commandos,” Gunn said in a video posted to Peacemaker’s social media channels. “And then Superman continues the DCU, and then Peacemaker Season 2 continues from there.” Easy peasy, right? Peacemaker Season 2 premieres August 21 on HBO Max.
