The DCU did not begin with Superman, but instead kicked off seven months prior with the animated series Creature Commandos. Centered on a government task force that uses monsters, Creature Commandos dropped audiences into the James Gunn-led DCU, offering hints of characters like Batman, the Metal Men, and Sgt. Rock and Clayface. Ahead of the Season 1 finale in January 2025, Creature Commandos Season 2 was greenlit. James Gunn has finally offered an update on when to expect Creature Commandos Season 2.
