Creature Commandos is set to be the first release in the new DC Universe, launching in December 2024. This animated show will kickstart the Dcu, paving the way for the 2025 Superman movie. But, Creature Commandos isn't just important because it starts the DCU. It's also a welcome break from a string of dark and serious DC releases that have been planned for the previous five months.
This streak of serious releases begins with Batman: Caped Crusader in August 2024. This animated show will offer a darker take on Batman: The Animated Series. This darker tone continues with The Penguin in September and Joker: Folie À Deux in October. While Superman & Lois season 4 might have a brighter tone than the Batman spinoffs, it's the final season and is sure to have its own serious elements. October is a double dose of intense releases with both Superman & Lois season 4 and Joker: Folie À Deux.
Creature Commandos is going to feel fresh and hilarious after the half-year of darker DC releases. David Harbour, a member of the Creature Commandos cast, described the show as "hilarious" in an interview with Collider. The show's spirit seems to be similar to The Suicide Squad, which was praised for its balance of action and humor.
Creature Commandos is essentially a palette cleanser. It's a lighter animated installment that isn't essential to understanding the main DC Universe story. It sets the stage for the new Dcu Superman, allowing audiences to enjoy a lighter, more comedic break before diving into the deeper stories.
The release date of Creature Commandos is perfect. It's right after a long string of serious releases, right before the holidays. Many superhero series release lighter fare around the holidays, and Creature Commandos fits right in. It's a great way to end the year on a lighter note.
Creature Commandos' release is perfectly timed. It's a break from the dark and serious, offering a dose of humor and action. It's a great way to start the DCU, and it's sure to be a hit with audiences.
