The DCU Has Some Heavy-Hitters Joining Superman And Supergirl, But James Gunn Just Revealed One Superhero Who’s Not ‘Part Of Our System Right Now’

by

In simpler terms, the first season of “Peacemaker” was produced during the existence of the DC Extended Universe. However, with Season 2 set to debut in 2025 within the larger DC Universe and the show moving to HBO Max, elements from Season 1 may no longer be considered canon due to its integration into a new DC franchise. For instance, the Justice League appearance in the Season 1 finale might not align with the continuity of the upcoming 2025 movies. James Gunn, creator of “Peacemaker” and co-head of DC Studios, has recently disclosed that there’s at least one superhero who may not be part of this current continuity yet.

As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I couldn’t help but tune into the latest episode of “Peacemaker: The Official Podcast with James Gunn” focusing on the Season 1 finale. During the discussion, my beloved wife Jennifer Holland and fellow actor Steve Agee joined forces with James to shed light on a rather intriguing mention regarding Green Arrow. However, it seems the question remains unanswered whether this moment will be considered part of the DC Universe’s official storyline. James himself mentioned that it’s still uncertain whether this scene will hold its place within the DCU’s grand narrative.

As for Green Arrow, it’s still uncertain whether he is part of the canon. At present, we do not have him included in our system, so his existence remains unconfirmed.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’ve been thrilled to see the DC Universe expand its roster over the past nine months, with the addition of intriguing characters like the Creature Commandos, Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific. The future looks promising as Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Batman, Wonder Woman, Clayface, Lobo, and Booster Gold are slated to join the lineup in upcoming DC movies and TV shows.

However, when it comes to Green Arrow, his presence in James Gunn’s plans for this franchise remains uncertain. For now, fans like myself can only speculate about Oliver Queen’s masked alter ego until Gunn makes an official announcement regarding his role in the DC universe. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed and enjoy the exciting journey ahead!

In another perspective, perhaps it’s more suitable for Green Arrow not to be present in this world as of now, given some questionable remarks made about him. For instance, John Cena’s character in “It’s Cow or Never” suggested that Green Arrow attends Brony conventions dressed like the rear half of Twilight Sparkle with an exaggerated four-inch wide hole in his costume. This was one of many humorous yet outlandish claims about DC superheroes made by Cena’s character in Peacemaker Season 1. Even Steve Agee’s John Economos echoed this rumor, leading some fans to chuckle at the joke. However, Arrow star Stephen Amell found it highly offensive and expressed his displeasure about it.

In essence, Season 2 of Peacemaker picks up right where Season 1 left off and continues the story, so it’s best to revisit what happened earlier before diving into the fresh episodes, which will be available on HBO Max. Also, keep in mind that Season 2 unfolds a month after the events portrayed in Superman, whether you choose to stream it online or catch it at your local cinema.
