The first of Peacemaker Season 2 brought the vigilante from the extended DC universe to the DC universe and laid the foundations for new scenarios for the season. Since this season of Peacemaker is a gentle restart of the last, the episode has also established how it works through a “previously on” sequence which has essentially stressed what is canon and what is not.

But perhaps the most interesting thing on this subject was the complete ret-rein of one of the most emblematic scenes of Peacemaker Season 1, in which the vigilante speaks to justice League. Peacemaker Season 2 completely changed this scene, so it makes sense with the new cannon of the DCU. However, fans had questions about what was shown.

Season 2 of Peacemaker has completely erased justice League from the Canon

The sequence “previously on” on “The Ties that grind”, the first episode of Peacemaker, Works like a summary of the last season which establishes what is canon and what is not in the newly created DCU. This sequence reminds viewers the wrestling of the children of the 11th street against the butterflies as well as the scenarios that made the jump from the DCEU, like the romance of Harcourt and Chris or the conflict of Adebayo with his mother, Amanda Waller.

For example, fans immediately noticed that the character of Chukwudi Iwuji, the flour butterfly Clemson Murn / Ik Nobe Lok, was left out. Does this mean that the team leader has been withdrawn? Nothing has been officially confirmed, but it would be logical for Gunn to want Iwuji to prepare for another role in the future, because they are close collaborators.

But perhaps the most important thing on the summary was the complete erasure of justice League. Towards the end of the sequence, Peacemaker Season 2 redid the emblematic scene in which Peacemaker and the children of the 11th street meet justice League after the final fight against butterflies. In the original version, always available on the Peacemaker Final of season 1, Peacemaker sees justice League: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman by Henry Cavill. He pointed out on the alleged fish fishermen of Arthur Curry and reprimands them for being late.

The scene was completely modified. Now the peacemaker is approached by five different figures. The scene features the gang of justice – Mr. Terrific, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl – Alongside Superman and Supergirl. Instead of playing Aquaman, Chris only complains of being late, then Guy Gardner comments on his own fetish of alleged Puke. Otherwise, the scene is identical. With this surprising change, James Gunn officially erased justice League from the DCU barrel, but he also raised a new question that fans almost immediately asked.

The official members of Superman & Supergirl’s justice gangs?

After the gang of justice joined Kal-el during SupermanFans wondered if this team should become the first DCU super metat. With the modified scene, this suspicion has increased even more, including now Supergirl too. So, are Superman and Supergirl part of the gang of justice? The answer to this question is, fortunately (or unfortunately, according to the reader’s loyalty), no.

During the first “The Ties that grind”, James Gunn organized a live watch party alongside Jennifer Holland ThreadsWhere fans were able to send some of their questions concerning the episode. It is on one of these interactions that fans have learned that the Kryptonians are not official members of the Gang of Justice. Instead, “they team up with them a lot as they did Superman. “This is perfectly logical on several levels.

Second, that’s about the way the comics work. Most heroes work alone while teaming up with one or two teams at a time. It is an effortless way to show that they are all in the same universe without engaging in anything. Gunn obviously took comics and the fans thank him for this. Third, and probably the most important, the gang of justice is at best morally ambiguous. Mr. Terrific is the only member of the team who seems to understand what a hero means. Green Lantern and Hawkgirl are more in the anti-hero area-or at least the superhero with an unpleasant attitude. The hilarious casting scene in Peacemaker, with them laughing at Chris, confirms this.

To worsen things, the gang of justice belongs to Maxwell Lord. They are not independent heroes, but were purchased by a very well -known villain in the comic strip canon. It goes against everything Superman represents. He does not work for anyone, not even the American government, as he has already specified. Fans do not yet know much about Supergirl, but they can only imagine that she feels the same thing. Not only because she probably follows the steps of her cousin, but because she has already suffered enough loss to understand the murder may not be the answer – especially when she is ordered by a millionaire.

Will there ever be a League of Justice in the DCU?

A DC universe without justice League feels bad. However, this is exactly where the DCU is located at the moment. Gunn confirmed that this team does not yet exist in this universe, but will it appear soon? Unfortunately for fans of this team, there is not yet an official answer to this question. This is perfectly logical.

So far, fans know that the Trinity will certainly be part of the DCU. Superman has already made his stellar debut, Batman had a cameo Creature commandos and will join the DCU live with The courageous and the fatAnd there are discussions on a Wonder Woman film alongside a television series taking place on TheMyscira, Lost paradise – Inspired by the scenario of the comic strip of Phil Jimenez and George Pérez. However, none of the projects on the future slate by DCU reports a cross film.

Currently, DC Studios offers more than a dozen projects, some of which do not even have a date. In fact, the last dated project will be presented in 2027. The first phase of the DCU is still in its first stages, so fans do not even have information on phase two. This means that even if Gunn plans to include justice League in the DCU in the future, there is still a long way to go before it happens.

Who could join the DCU Justice League?

After the first of PeacemakerThe DCU has only introduced less than a hundred heroes who could join Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman in justice League. In addition, most of the DCU characters are morally gray. Given this, it is difficult to believe that some of them could become members of this Superteam in the first place. For example, Peacemaker. Although Chris is currently trying to redeem himself against his past actions and actively tries to become a hero, it may be impossible for him to obtain a clean slate after all the blood he shed.

Something similar happens with Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl. Although they are real superheroes and not mercenaries, they may not pass the moral test to join the League justice, especially since the Trinity is so against murder. Since the current gang of justice, Mr. Terrific and Metamorpho would have a better chance.

Perhaps the future DCU projects will have more qualified heroes. For example, Lanterns is about to present Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two of the most eminent Green Lanterns of DC Comics, who have already been members of justice League in the comic strip. The Blue Beetle series will also immerse itself in the former DCEU hero, perhaps putting him to belong to the team as one of his youngest members.

In addition, Mister Miracle will make his debut on a solo series in a few years, as well as Booster Gold, another morally gray hero who could achieve redemption. And of course, there is Supergirl, who will probably work alongside her cousin once she is returned from her intergalactic trip on Supergirl: woman of tomorrow. Anyone who joins Justice League, fans will probably love the idea of ​​a cross between all these heroes. Gunn did not say anything about the possibility, but he obviously follows the comics, so readers know that it is a matter of time.
