Overview

• Peacemaker’s season 2 opener swaps the season 1 Justice League tag for the DCU’s Justice Gang, with Superman and Supergirl portrayed as de facto teammates.
• The episode connects Peacemaker’s portal-like storage space to the pocket-universe technology from Superman, flagged by ARGUS as similar to the Metropolis ‘Luthor incident.’
• Gunn says he’d like to re-edit or reshoot more of season 1 to align with DCU canon but can’t justify the cost, and he reused a previously cut Green Lantern gag in the new recap.
• Maxwell Lord’s portrayal draws from the character’s original, morally gray iteration, with Gunn indicating he is not charting the later murderous turn from the comics.
• Gunn clarified that Metamorpho’s absence in the ‘previously’ clip is due to timing before his recruitment in Superman, while the production withheld late-season episodes to preserve surprises and a rumored Enchantress name-drop remains unconfirmed.
