Leaks are always going to be part of the superhero game. Too many people care about what\u2019s going on in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Universe<\/a> to ignore a set photo or rumor that pops up on the timeline. James Gunn is well aware of this fact, so he\u2019s bracing his franchise for the storm. Clayface is shooting outside<\/a>, allowing onlookers to snap photos of all of the juicy Easter eggs that will appear in the movie. It\u2019s no skin off of Gunn\u2019s back because all he wants to focus on is the quality of the content. However, he probably wouldn\u2019t be happy if the identity of the Big Bad of the first phase of his franchise got leaked.<\/p>\n

There has been a lot of speculation about who the DCU\u2019s heroes will face when they eventually assemble. The current theory is that Darkseid is on his way because Peacemaker Season 2 sets up an adaptation of the Salvation Run storyline<\/a>, which prominently features the New Gods. But there\u2019s another idea bouncing around that makes just as much sense, and the fans believe they have all the evidence they need to confirm it.<\/p>\n

So, this is from the official DCU Lanterns show\u2026 A Redditor made a video pointing out that is might tease The Centre, and WB forced him to TAKE IT DOWN \ud83d\udc40 pic.twitter.com\/vG49P5bwhl<\/a><\/p>\n

Lanterns<\/a> is the next DCU project on the release schedule, and Gunn has already confirmed that it will tie into the story that Peacemaker sets up. Fans have taken that fact and run with it, using an image of a hat from the set of the show to theorize that the show will feature the Centre, also known as Dinosaur Island, a sentient land mass that causes problems for the Justice League of America in DC: The New Frontier. The marks in the middle of the hat do resemble the Centre\u2019s look in the comics, which could mean everything or nothing. <\/p>\n

The DCU Hasn\u2019t Shot Down the Dinosaur Island Theory Yet<\/p>\n

While the DCU has all the pieces it needs to tell Salvation Run\u2018s story<\/a>, it\u2019s obviously not going to be a one-for-one adaptation. Rather than finding himself marooned on a distant planet, Lex Luthor is the one pushing Rick Flag Sr. to find a habitable reality to send metahumans to. Luthor doesn\u2019t seem to care who ends up there, so Flag Sr. uses Peacemaker as his test dummy. After being thrown through the door, the titular anti-hero tries to find his footing, but noises in the distance demand his attention, as they sound like roars from dangerous creatures.<\/p>\n

What might be happening is that Gunn is blending elements from Salvation Run and DC: The New Frontier, making Salvation and the Centre one and the same. How Lanterns fits into the equation remains to be seen, but protecting the cosmos is sure to force Hal Jordan and John Stewart to visit some unsavory places, such as a planet that houses its fair share of monsters. Maybe Flag Sr. didn\u2019t send Peacemaker to another reality at all, but to another world that his new ring-wielding friends can rescue him from.<\/p>\n
