Peacemaker Season 2 Locks Into Gunn’s DCU With Superman Link as Viewership Climbs

The HBO Max series now anchors Gunn’s DCU via a focused recap change that links directly to Superman’s interdimensional tech.

Overview

  • A reshot "previously on" swaps the DCEU’s Justice League for the DCU’s Justice Gang, aligning the show with Gunn’s continuity while preserving most of Season 1.
  • James Gunn says he’d “love to” reshoot more of Season 1 to fully harmonize canon but won’t due to cost, calling the recap fix a pragmatic compromise.
  • Season 2 ties Peacemaker’s quantum storage to the "Luthor incident" from Superman, with ARGUS flagging the pocket‑dimension signature as a shared continuity thread.
  • Gunn characterizes Season 1 as an outlier that largely fits the DCU with minor differences, and he confirms current canon launches with Creature Commandos, Superman, and Peacemaker Season 2.
  • Early engagement climbed, with Samba TV reporting 22% more U.S. households tuned in over the first four days than for the Season 1 finale, as DC keeps the final three episodes under wraps after cast teases of major turns.
