James Gunn has said his Peacemaker Season 2 is a direct sequel to his Superman movie. <\/p>\n

But instead of building on Superman\u2019s story in a meaningful way, Gunn leans into shock value, crude humor, and political messaging.<\/p>\n

Gunn Says Peacemaker Is the Superman Sequel<\/p>\n

In his own words, Gunn previously described<\/a> Peacemaker as following directly from Superman:<\/p>\n

\u201cI pretty much think of Peacemaker Season 2 as a direct sequel. It\u2019s a big part, definitely Superman leads directly into Peacemaker; it should be noted that this is for adults, not for children, but Superman leads into this show and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of Peacemaker. Lots of guest stars coming up, lots of characters that are showing up that we\u2019ve already met in Superman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gunn even went as far as saying Peacemaker Season 2 might be the work he\u2019s most proud of:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything that I\u2019ve ever done that I love more than this season of Peacemaker.\u201d<\/p>\n

DC Characters in Prison Rape Scene<\/p>\n

The most recent episode highlights Gunn\u2019s controversial taste. Episode 6 features Nicholas Hoult\u2019s Lex Luthor sharing a prison scene with Frank Grillo\u2019s Rick Flag Sr.<\/p>\n

During their conversation, Lex casually remarks:<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, I\u2019m in here in Belle Reeve listening to a bear-sized man with dragon skin butt-f\u2014king a glowing twink with cartoon eyes in a cell beside me every night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The implication is that DC characters\u2014believed to be Killer Croc and possibly Doctor Phosphorus\u2014are raping each other in prison. Gunn signed off on the line, placing this kind of content directly into what he himself calls the continuation of Superman.<\/p>\n

Watch the scene:<\/p>\n

A Pattern of Poor Taste<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t an isolated case. Gunn has already drawn backlash for approving the John Cena Peacemaker emote in Fortnite<\/a>, which Epic Games pulled after players flagged it for containing Nazi-inspired imagery. That\u2019s in a game played by millions of kids\u2014despite Gunn\u2019s insistence that Peacemaker \u201cisn\u2019t for children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the same \u201cSuperman sequel\u201d contains casual rape references involving iconic DC characters.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next for Gunn\u2019s DCU?<\/p>\n

With Supergirl and Clayface around the corner, and Gunn writing and directing Man of Tomorrow, the trend is clear: Gunn\u2019s DCU isn\u2019t just about superheroes. It\u2019s about shock, ego, and politics\u2014no matter how much it tramples on the legacy of the characters<\/a>.<\/p>\n
