Peacemaker Season 2 Finale Sets DCU ‘Salvation’ Arc, Draws Backlash

James Gunn says the storyline links directly to Man of Tomorrow, spotlighting Rick Flag, Lex Luthor, plus Superman.

Overview

  • The latest episode pivots the series toward broader DCU plans tied to a new ‘Salvation’ thread, with future resolution expected outside the show.
  • James Gunn identifies Rick Flag Sr., Lex Luthor, and Superman as the primary figures in this arc, confirming ties to Man of Tomorrow.
  • Trade reporting cites Gunn’s podcast in noting Peter Safran encouraged a darker final direction than Gunn’s initial, more upbeat draft.
  • Coverage notes the finale lacked the widely rumored major cameos, even as it introduced new multiverse and organizational elements.
  • The installment is reported as the series’ lowest-rated on IMDb (about 6.8/10), and outlets say no third season is planned as the DCU absorbs these plotlines.
