- Creature Commandos episode 4 confirmed off the DCU’s Justice League for the primary time
- DC Comics’ most iconic superteam, although, do not seem within the method you’d count on
- Showrunner Dean Lorey says followers “should not infer” something from the temporary scene, both
Creature Commandos episode 4 has handed us a primary have a look at the DC Cinematic Universe’s (DCU) Justice League, however not in the way in which many would’ve predicted
I did not count on the Max sequence’ fourth episode, titled ‘Chasing Squirrels’, to mark the supergroup’s debut in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s rebooted DC Universe, however right here we’re. Well, I’m utilizing the phrase ‘debut’ fairly liberally right here, as a result of they solely present up within the briefest of scenes that showrunner Dean Lorey says you and I “should not infer” something from mentioned sequence.
Full spoilers instantly observe for Creature Commandos‘ fourth chapter, so flip again now if you have not streamed it but.
As I mentioned, the scene in query is not a full introduction to the DCU’s Justice League. Seven minutes into ‘Chasing Squirrels’, ARGUS chief Amanda Waller is proven a imaginative and prescient of the longer term by Circe, the sequence’ obvious villain-in-chief and who’s one among three huge teases in Creature Commandos that predate Wonder Woman’s DCU debut.
But I’m getting off monitor. Circe, who was captured by the eponymous workforce in among the best Max reveals’ fourth entry, makes an attempt to inform Waller, Rick Flag Sr., and John Economos that Princess Ilana and Pokolistan, the nation she guidelines over, aren’t what they appear. In a bid to persuade them additional, Circe says she will use her clairvoyant skills on Waller to indicate her a imaginative and prescient of a possible future the place Ilana and Pokolistan tyranically rule over the world.
It’s right here the place the Justice League seem – type of, anyway. You see, as a part of Waller’s imaginative and prescient, we see the Justice League, plus quite a few different DC heroes and antiheroes, crucified, impaled on spears, or mendacity lifeless on a skull-littered floor. Among these depicted on this sequence are DC’s iconic trifecta of superheroes, aka Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
They aren’t the one ones, although. I additionally noticed Robin, Peacemaker, Supergirl, one of many Green Lantern Corps, Hawkgirl, Vigilante, and what seems to be a comics-accurate Aquaman (full with blonder hair) among the many lifeless. Let me know when you picked out anybody else, resembling The Flash, Cyborg, and Martian Manhunter.
There are loads of questions raised by Circe’s premonition. How highly effective is the nation of Pokolistan if it is capable of not solely conquer the world, but in addition defeat so many metahumans? Is this a future that will occur or could solely achieve this if Task Force M would not cease Ilana? And is there something we must always learn into the Justice League and their fellow heroes’ deaths on this DCU Chapter One challenge? Unfortunately, when you got here right here searching for solutions to the above and another queries you could have, Lorey can solely present one reply, however it’s a fairly categorical one all the identical.
“That scene is restricted to the story [of Creature Commandos],” Lorey replied once I requested him if it units up future situations within the DCU. “It’s probably not meant to deduce something however, you already know, it was meant to do what it does, which is present a really darkish imaginative and prescient of the world if one thing is not achieved to forestall it. But, no, I might say followers should not infer something in regards to the Justice League [from that].”
Consider that case closed, then! For extra of my Creature Commandos and wider DCU protection, try the part beneath.
