Supermanmay still be many months away, but the premiere of the first official DCU project inCreature Commandosis now only days away, and critics everywhere now have the freedom to share their opinions on the series as they see fit. The review embargo forCreature Commandoshas officially lifted, and the animated show has earned a nearly flawless 95% score from critics onRotten Tomatoes, rivaling some of the best comic book projects ever made. It’s important to note that this score is subject to change as more reviews pour in, and audience scores won’t be available until after the show has premiered, but starting at 95% is exactly whereJames Gunnand company want to be. The show will air its first two episodes on Thursday, December 5 on Max and stream until the finale in 2025.
One of the first initiatives James Gunn announced when he assumed creative control at DC was that there would no longer be three or four different actors playing the same character. Also in that same announcement was the news that actors would play the same characters in live-action, animation, and even video games. Gunn is already proving this theory to be true, asFrank Grillowas confirmed long ago to be the voice of Rick Flag Sr. inCreature Commandos, and he will also portray the character inPeacemakerSeason 2 as well asSuperman.PeacemakerSeason 2 recently wrapped filmingafter 10 months of shooting, and the highly-anticipated follow-up toJohn Cena’s Emmy-nominated show has been confirmed to release in August, but an official date has yet to be announced.
