Before the release of Peacemaker Show, the shows which were broadcasted on television were some standalone or a part of CW’s Arrowverse or shared some kind of connection between some HBO Max’s Titans and Doom Patrol.

In 2022, DC Extended Universe with Peacemaker has changed the history as it is the first show which has a connection with the big-screen projects of DCEU. With a new trend, Peacemaker didn’t only get an honoured treatment from HBO Max but also profited from various connections of the larger DCEU, particularly The Suicide Squad.

In The Suicide Squad, when Starro and Task Force X faced off in Corto Maltese, James Gunn’s Peacemaker Series takes over from that point. As Peacemaker is not the popular character from DC Universe, James Gunn took the liberty of doing some alterations and developed the peace-at-all-cost vigilante.

The works of James Gunn, along with the help from HBO Max, DCEU Series of Peacemaker, received the highest score of all the other shows. Rotten Tomatoes Score on Peacemaker is an average of 95 per cent, and it is interpreted that the critics on Rotten Tomatoes loved Peacemaker above almost every DC TV Show.

Peacemaker’s DCEU Connections Made it Better

Some of the previously released shows of DC Universe, like CW’s Arrowverse and Titans, does include some of the biggest superheroes of all time, Batman and Superman. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of these shows was that they used certain characters on the basis of what their higher-profile movies had planned.

DC Universe’s Peacemaker doesn’t include any of those restrictions, along with no shared universe connections, only that the story takes over from the movie, The Suicide Squad. In the film, The Suicide Squad, Rick Flag, a character who dies at the hands of the Peacemaker, said his final words as “Peacemaker, what a joke.” The mocking paradox started in the film, which continued in the series.

In the last year’s film, Peacemaker proudly declared his belief about fighting for peace at all costs, with the addition no matter how many men, women or children, he had to kill for it. However, Rick Flag is one of the biggest characters on screen, whose words haunt Peacemaker throughout his own series. Peacemaker also went through an identity crisis where he went back to his father, who made him the way he is.

Peacemaker Series is centred on the theme, which is closely related to his arc in the movie The Suicide Squad. And Rick Flag’s words were shown interfering with Peacemaker’s mind in his flashbacks.

The connections with DC Extended Universe meant a great deal for the higher production value, and the team is thankful for the recourses they got. The thought is that the success of the Peacemaker Show was greatly based on the DCEU connections, as, without it, the resources would be limited, and it won’t be able to stand on along Rotten Tomatoes, among other DC shows.

In the spin-off of The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker got one of the best showrunners of all, James Gunn. Many DC Shows were made with the advantage of creative writers and talented directors who had a great amount of involvement with the Shows. For example, Kevin Smith, director of many episodes of The Flash and Supergirl, James Gunn, creator of two successful MCU movies, Guardians of The Galaxy and Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2, and DCEU’s best movie, The Suicide Squad.

James Gunn wrote all the episodes of the DC best show, Peacemaker’s Season 1. Along with that, Gunn directed five out of eight, almost all the episodes, which resulted in the big-screen calibre of the Peacemaker Show. Behind the camera, James Gunn made Star Wars and Marvel Shows successful.

An interesting fact, James Gunn is not only one of the biggest writers and directors of the whole superhero genre for both the successful franchise, Marvel & DC Universe, but also he is the writer and director of the movie with the shared universe, The Suicide Squad. James Gunn’s presence is sufficient to make anything of higher quality and trust for the project. The whole world can open Rotten Tomatoes and witness the result of James Gunn’s work on Peacemaker’s score.

In the early days, almost every television show had a trick to dodge the names of big superheroes used in the shows. You must remember Tom Welling never once wore the Superman suit on SmallVille, and David Mazouz not at all completely became Batman in Gotham. The examples are from some of the biggest characters, but if we try and remember the small characters, they don’t even make the cut. The actions of the small characters were always dependent upon the big-screen plans, like Harley Quinn or Deathstroke from The Suicide Squad movie; they weren’t included in Arrow because their destiny was planned differently on the big screen.

All the credits of Peacemaker go to DCEU connections that it wasn’t affected by the big-screen plans. And four characters from the Justice League movie showed up at the end of the Peacemaker’s series. Aquaman, Flash, Superman and Wonder Woman entered the finale episode where Peacemaker mocked most of them.

The DCEU Pacemaker has an r-rated status which allowed the series to be free from all the restrictions earlier series faced. And one notable fact is that the Peacemaker had a more mature audience because of its r-rated status, which might be the reason why Peacemaker Rotten Tomatoes Score was higher than any other.

The DC series, Watchman and Doom Patrol, received 76 per cent and 77 per cent scores respectively on Rotten Tomatoes, which is slightly higher than the score of all the other series (excluding Peacemaker). Peacemaker’s success on HBO Max is leading the path of great DC Shows, as some of the shows are on their way.
