Overview
- The premiere replaces Season 1’s Justice League tag with the DCU’s Justice Gang, featuring Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl and Mister Terrific alongside silhouettes of Superman and Supergirl.
- Episode one connects Peacemaker’s pocket‑dimension tech to the "Luthor incident" from Superman, prompting A.R.G.U.S. scrutiny and cementing cross‑project continuity.
- James Gunn calls Season 1 an "outlier," states DCU canon begins with Creature Commandos, Superman and Peacemaker Season 2, and says he’d like to retrofit more of Season 1 but lacks the budget.
- Gunn confirms the premiere’s gag with Green Lantern was repurposed from a deleted Season 1 bit, and cast say the tightly held final three episodes play like "almost a whole new season."
- Early tracking shows momentum, with Samba TV reporting 22% more U.S. households watched the Season 2 launch’s first four days than tuned in for the Season 1 finale.
