Overview

  • The season opens with a “previously on” that swaps the Season 1 Justice League cameo for the DCU’s Justice Gang, with Superman and Supergirl appearing alongside Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Mister Terrific.
  • ARGUS flags Peacemaker’s portal activity as similar to Metropolis’ “Luthor incident,” explicitly tying the show’s interdimensional tech to events and technology seen in Superman.
  • James Gunn says broader Season 1 reshoots are off the table for cost reasons and reiterates that current DCU canon begins with Creature Commandos, Superman, and Peacemaker Season 2.
  • A previously cut Green Lantern joke was repurposed into the new recap, with Gunn noting the bit was once nixed before being made DCU canon for Season 2.
  • Press screeners covered only episodes 1–5, and Steve Agee says the final three episodes were withheld because they are “almost like a whole new season.”
