WARNING: Do not listen to this episode unless you have seen season three of the 2025 WBD/DC Studios series "Creature Commandos" or do not mind hearing key plot points.

In November 2022, James Gunn and Peter Safran were hired to lead the newly formed DC Studios. The pair had worked on several projects that were part of the “DC Extended Universe” or DCEU, including the film The Suicide Squad in 2021 and its spin-off series Peacemaker. This new universe was labeled as a reboot of DC stories, ending the string of films that included Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, etc. The first entry into the new “DC Studios” was the animated series Creature Commandos. The storyline of this show immediately tied into the aforementioned The Suicide Squad film, muddying continuity from the onset.

This episode of the podcast talks about Creature Commandos but also the DC Studios launch, which includes the 2025 Superman film and Season 2 of the show Peacemaker. (There are minor spoilers regarding Peacemaker, which has not aired its complete season 2.)

There are also continuing rumors regarding a potential sale of Warner Bros. Discovery. Skydance (the company that bought Paramount/CBS) and Netflix are rumored to be interested in WBD.

All of this is covered in this episode. Ray Carsillo, a broadcaster and comedian who once worked for the show DC Daily on the now-defunct DC Universe app, joins the show to discuss the series and the state of this new universe.
