James Gunn produces and directs
Peacemaker. The series' first season was produced for its January 2022. It is loosely based on Warner Bros Discovery's DC
EU that began with
Man of Steel in 2013.
WBD ended its DCEU in late 2022, but had already filmed content like the
Shazam! and
Aquaman sequels. Both were released by 2023. The DCEU was effectively dead before those movies hit theaters.
WBD hired Gunn in October 2022 to head its new DC
U. His number one responsibility was creating new content for its new DCU. New content includes matching Peacemaker episodes to it.
Justice League was DCEU.
Justice Gang is DCU... until Gunn formally changes it
back to Justice League.
