Well, that looks fun. I know Rick Flag, Sr. crosses over into the live action Superman and Weasel was in The Suicide Squad, but I wonder if any of the other Creature Commandos will make the leap into live action.

I'm still curious how season 2 of Peacemaker will address the JL cameos at the end of season 1. I also wonder how old Rick Flag Sr. is supposed to be in these shows, given that Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag Jr) is 44 and Frank Grillo (Rick Flag Sr) is 59. Did Sr become a dad at 15?

This show is pretty damn good. What The Suicide Squad should have been.

I liked the first two episodes of this quite a bit. I think G.I. Robot is my favorite character so far. Definitely going to keep on watching.

So... Creature Commandos is instead the first official DCU release under the DC Studios banner.

I think he said in the first episode he became a dad at age 18, so not too much of a difference.
So...does 2021's The Suicide Squad now count as canon since it was from Gunn and they addressed events from it in this series? While I personally like Gunn's rather quirky approach , I don't know if his style is going to go over too well with the casual comic book movie fan.

Pretty good so far. I love that it's taking a huge piss at Incels/Manosphere fucksticks.
I saw some dude online asking why the The Bride, The Monster, and the Doctor all had British accents...as if that's anything new. My favorite answer someone posted was, "Universal Monsters Translators" which too me was a clever response.

I hate the way that show licensing works in Canada, things seem random sometimes. CraveTV has most HBO and Max original shows but for some stupid reason not this one, it's on some stupid service I don't have and don't really want. Ugh, I really wanted to see this. Maybe I'll wait until all the episodes are released and get a free trial for the channel they are on up here.

I'm stuck watching breakdown videos until an eventual physical release,
but am glad this is well liked. I am really hoping James Gunn knocks his DCU out of the park.

Viola Davis is a brilliant film actress who seems to absolutely suck at voice acting. I've heard more convincing line readings in porn.

Cast because she's a name actress who they can splash across the marquee. It kind of ruined the run DC's animated films had going over a decade ago because they started picking random Hollywood actors for voice roles instead of more veteran voice actors.

Her voicing the character in the animated series fulfills Davud Zaslov’s, Gunn’s, and Peter Safrans’ promise that the same actor will play the same character in the new DCU. Regardless of medium. Steve Agee, Jennifer Holland, Danielle Brooks, Jason Momoa, and Xolo Maridueńa are also confirmed to migrate from the old DCEU to the new DCU. Most will play the same characters they played before, although it is unknown if Momoa stays as Aquaman or becomes Lobo.

She plays the same character in Suicide Squad, The Suicide Squad, and Peacemaker: Amanda Waller.

Weirdly. The Japanese anime off shoot of Suicide Squad: Isekai uses her likeness. It is the only character who shares the likeness of the US cast. And that dancing end credits is just strange as hell.

Wow, this is really something. Saw it listed on Max and wasn't overly interested, as I lost interest in Harley Quinn after the second season and didn't even make it to the second episode of Kiteman. But this is very well done. Good characters, great writing. The flashback scenes in particular are really compelling.
James Gunn is DC's Dave Filoni, which is what they have sorely needed since, well, ever since the MCU started. I know he's done with Disney, but would love to see him do something with Star Wars.

I think you know that doesn't matter in movies and on tv shows
