The first season of Peacemaker was a fun and unexpected addition to the DCEU right as the cinematic universe ended. Fast-forward a couple of years, and Peacemaker creator James Gunn is now co-leading DC Studios and has released the first chapters in the series, Creature Commandos and Superman. In comes the second season of Peacemaker, which is somehow in the DCU as well as the DCEU. Either way, it is a fantastic new season of mature madness!
The second season of Peacemaker follows Christopher Smith (John Cena) as he struggles to find his place in the world as a hero, with all the baggage left over from his actions that have led to this point. When he discovers a way into another dimension where Peacemaker is living a far better life, he takes a trip only to create massive ripples that affect his friends and foes. With Rick Flag Sr (Frank Grillo) after him, Peacemaker must decide whether to live in our world or head to another one.
