I don’t know about my fellow fans of great superhero movies and TV shows, but I think I am content with the fact that it will likely be a long time before we seen another iteration of the Justice League hit the big screen (or the small screen). Reason being: James Gunn and Peter Safran have teased that their plans for the new DC Universe canon involve a couple of teams that are also in the business of fighting evil, but are unlike anything we have seen before. One of these crimefighting collectives is the eponymous stars of an upcoming DC TV show for HBO Max, called Creature Commandos.
As Gunn revealed in a video detailing his and Safran’s plan for the DCU’s first chapter, “Gods and Monsters,” he wrote all the episodes for this new, star-studded animated series — featuring the voice talents of Frank Grillo, David Harbour, Indira Varma, and more — that will actually be what kicks off this new era of comic book adaptations. If this is your first time ever hearing about the Creature Commandos, have no shame, because you are likely not the only one. For anyone curious to know the history behind this bizarre crew of unlikely heroes, we have you covered with this breakdown of all the essential facts we know from DC Comics — starting with a basic description of who, exactly, they are.
