James Gunn's 'Creature Commandos' Launches DCU with Strong Reviews

The animated series debuts on Max, blending humor, gore, and heartfelt character arcs to set the tone for the new DC Universe.

Creature Commandos, the first project in James Gunn's DCU, premieres December 5 on Max with a seven-episode season featuring a mix of animated action, dark humor, and emotional storytelling.
The series introduces Task Force M, a team of monstrous anti-heroes led by Flag Sr., tasked with dangerous missions under Amanda Waller's direction.
Critics have praised the show for its strong character development, engaging backstories, and Gunn's signature blend of irreverence and heart, though some noted its familiarity to his past projects.
With a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, the show is being lauded as a promising start for the new DCU, despite some concerns about its tonal and narrative similarities to Gunn's previous work.
The series sets the stage for a broader interconnected DC Universe, with cast members chosen to potentially transition into live-action roles in future projects.
