Overview

  • Gunn stated on his Peacemaker rewatch podcast that Creature Commandos and Superman are “100% canon” in the new DCU continuity.
  • Peacemaker Season 2 is officially canonical and will premiere on HBO Max on August 21, with new promotional posters released and a trailer debuting at San Diego Comic-Con.
  • The filmmaker said he doesn’t believe Jason Momoa’s Aquaman films fit the rebooted universe and noted Aquaman is unlikely to be a renowned hero in this continuity.
  • Both Aquaman and The Flash are earmarked for future DCU entries with fresh casting and remain in early development rather than carried over from the DCEU.
  • Jason Momoa will instead join the DCU as the intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo in next year’s Supergirl series.
