  • Gunn's new DCU starts by canonizing 'The Suicide Squad' and 'Peacemaker,' with A.R.G.U.S. director Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) assembling a team of super-powered prisoners for a high-stakes mission in Pokolistan.
  • The diverse 'Creature Commandos' team features a radioactive skeleton, a robot Nazi-killer, a talking weasel, an empathetic fish-woman, and a temperamental corpse bride haunted by her incel Frankenstein, each with a tragic backstory that Gunn explores with signature heart and humor.
