Creature Commandos Review: The DC Universe Begins In The Most James Gunn Way
In simpler terms, the animated series “Creature Commandos” is the initial release of the revamped DC Universe by James Gunn and Peter Safran. This series comes after “Peacemaker,” another streaming show, which was a spin-off from Gunn’s 2021 film “The Suicide Squad.” This movie was actually a sequel to the 2016 “Suicide Squad” by David Ayer and belonged to the old DC Extended Universe. So it seems that the happenings of “The Suicide Squad” (but not the original “Suicide Squad”) and most of “Peacemaker” Season 1 from the DCEU are considered canon in the new DC Universe, except for any references made to the Justice League, who are being recast and reimagined in this new universe.
