You know, there's a narrow but decent range of decisions WB/DC can make that won't elicit a negative reaction from me.

Unsurprisingly, this falls well outside that range.

I am sure Leo is just thrilled about this

Next up, Dwayne Johnson cast as -- wait a minute, the Rock is already in a DC production.

Yeah, but I'm convinced that ol' Flex was specifically only put on this Earth so that he could ultimately play Black Adam. It's the only reason he even exists and he's pretty much perfect for it, so I can live with it.

F*ck John Cena, though. F*ck that guy right in the ear!

*Andrew NDB* · 09-23-2020, 03:44 PM

It's probably going to be written by Geoff Johns.

Rikki Roxx was gonna face off against John Cena one night, but it never happened cause he didn't see his opponent anywhere.

Man, I didn't realize the season was going to be drip fed week by week. This is why I preferto wait I til a show is over.
I'm too used to just waiting until the final season is about to be released before I start watching the show.

Watching it weekly builds anticipation maybe also I am curious which characters will have cameos in last 3 episodes maybe like James Gunn said maybe some of them will also have bigger role and I think one of them will be Blue Beetle

nidza_maj2000 · 08-31-2025, 06:49 PM

Which characters do you guys think might appear in last 3 episodes of season 2 that James Gunn teased?

It'll be someone from Superman that we haven't already seen so far. Maybe Superman himself? Lois? Mr. Terrific?

Yeah and Blue Beetle from 2023 movie, do you think he is also possible? Because James Gunn also teased his appearance in imdb interview

*sdp* · 10-03-2025, 06:07 PM

I caught up with the last 3 episodes and they're either more interesting or the show just flows better binge watching it. Still not as fire as the first season but at least the earth x storyline finally got interesting

*Andrew NDB* · 10-03-2025, 10:20 PM

But it's 1 episode left and we still don't have the Big Bad this season yet. They did the dad and brother turn that I called already... so what's left? The brother recuperates and comes after him or something real quick?

I do think the stuff about Gunn saying he couldn't find a way to get Superman in this season is probably a lie, but I could be wrong. We have pictures of Corenswet showing up to Peacemaker season 2 in full hair & makeup and costume (and obviously they didn't even start filming this until Superman was done, and there was famously no reshoots for Superman) which we're supposed to believe was just Corenswet stopping by to say "hi"... surely that's B.S.. So maybe somehow Superman becomes entangled in things.

nidza_maj2000 · 10-04-2025, 04:21 AM

He said there will be DCU cameos in season 2 episode 8 that means Blue Beetle from 2023 movie might also appear there

*sdp* · 10-04-2025, 11:51 AM

The dad was actually not a Nazi, he was good. But yeah I don't think there's any new twist villain, earth x was the twist, this is why the show felt slow in the middle, it needed something. It they only have one episode left so dalingtwith Argus and the brother is already enough.
I think any DCU cameos at this point will only be something super small like the S1 Justice League ending

Maybe 11st Street Kids will team up with some DCU heroes so they can save Chris from jail

nidza_maj2000 · 10-06-2025, 10:48 AM

So which dimension with candies do you guys think it is in Peacemaker season 2 episode 8 promo?

*Andrew NDB* · 10-09-2025, 09:45 PM

Final episode was lame. Basically episode 7 was the finale and this was like an epilogue. No big surprises or any appearances except for Otis.

For a moment I thought we were going to see Mxyzptlyk. But it was nothing. All the dimensions they visit in this were nothing. The one they're making the prison planet MIGHT be the Kamandi Earth, but who even cares.

So I will watch this episode later but I heard there are not any cameos from DCU and that ending with Chris (which I heard) might be resolved in Man of Tomorrow movie, also why did you think James Gunn teased Blue Beetle appearance? Maybe he will appear in Lanterns
