'Peacemaker' Season 2 changes explained: Why did James Gunn change the ending of 'Peacemaker' Season 1? Is 'Justice League' no longer part of DCU canon? What's part of the DCU Canon?

One of the biggest surprises — or shocking, if you're going to be purist about the whole thing — is the modification that Peacemaker fans are going to witness in the second season of the show, which has John Cena reprising the titular role. 

 

Viewers will find that the Justice League appearance has been scrapped in favour of the Justice Gang, to whom we were introduced in Gunn's Superman. (There's a reason why the David Corenswet-fronted reboot hit streaming earlier than expected. Gunn clarified recently that he wanted to release it on digital before Peacemaker: Season 2 is launched. Interestingly, the show's events follow the events in Superman.)

 

 

What's the modification?

 

 

The modified post-credits sequence of Peacemaker: Season 1 has been attached to a recap of Season 1 before we are taken into the events of the new season. Instead of Justice League, we now see the Justice Gang comprising Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mister Terrific, Superman, and Supergirl, presented similarly to how the other superhero team was in the Season 1 post-credits.

 

 

However, the original ending will remain unaltered in the version on HBO Max. The modification only applies to the aforementioned recap before Season 2.

 

 

So canon no longer matters?

 

 

According to Gunn, we shouldn't make a big deal out of the alteration, as it doesn't matter in the long run. He said as much to several entertainment portals in a recent interaction. In the explanation he gave them, he shared that he wasn't concerned about "normies" going to understand it because they "don't give a s***" and that they "don't care about all this canon stuff so intimately.”

 

 

What's part of the DCU Canon?

 

 

The DCU Canon will include Creature Commandos, Superman, The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker Season 1, and Peacemaker Season 2.

 

Peacemaker: Season 2 is streaming in India on JioHotstar.
