The superhero genre is going through some huge changes, thanks to the newly formed DCU. Coming from the mind of co-CEO James Gunn, the first slate of projects (titled Gods and Monsters) are establishing the new canon. Despite all the world-building that's happening, Peacemaker Season 2 is somehow validating years of watching previous DCEU projects. And I really can't get enough.
When the DCU was being formed, Gunn confirmed a handful of characters from the DCEU were being carried over. Chief among them was John Cena's Chris Smith/ Peacemaker, and Season 2 has been methodically revealing which of the previous DCEU events were being carried through. After the third episode, "Another Rick Up My Sleeve," offered connections to both David Ayer's Suicide Squad and Gunn's The Suicide Squad, I feel so great about spending years watching the DC movies in order.
