Creature Commandos Trailer: James Gunn's R-Rated DCU Animated Series

Creature Commandos Trailer: James Gunn's DCU Goes Bloody and R-Rated!

James Gunn's DCU Kicks Off with a Bloody R-Rated Creature Commandos Trailer!

Get ready, DC fans! DC Studios just dropped a brand new trailer for Creature Commandos, the first animated series in James Gunn's revamped DC Universe (DCU)! And let's just say, it's looking seriously intense. This new team, showing up on Max this December, will precede the next big Superman movie and showcase that highly-anticipated new approach.

This series features that amazing cast and crew (shown at this year's New York Comic-Con!), it finally brings those obscure DC Comics characters into a very unexpected light: they finally appear as their own team and those exciting previews showed just how serious this effort will be, promising those elements many viewers are searching for! The trailer highlights a key theme: It's Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. who leads this incredibly strange crew of characters.

What the Creature Commandos Trailer Reveals: Amanda Waller's New Mission and Antihero Vibes

One of the biggest things here? The trailer emphasizes the change in Amanda Waller's character. She clearly exists in this version of the DCU; which should excite existing viewers, her plans from Peacemaker season 1 directly inform those plots surrounding her work in setting up Creature Commandos. This storyline also emphasizes its distinct character:

It's not some straightforward Suicide Squad thing. Instead, this highlights the unique team dynamic – the Creature Commandos are antiheroes, folks, who specialize in supernatural stuff; demonstrating a renewed and refreshing look at the existing comic storyline that provides different challenges and unique situations! This will help develop this very special new world. The entire DCU Chapter 1: "Gods and Monsters" focuses on those themes and these elements show how Gunn’s DCU builds upon those very specific ideas while demonstrating great flexibility in plot devices.

Creature Commandos already looks like a breath of fresh air—seriously different from what’s happened with the DCEU. The production decisions showcase how Gunn’s team will make each individual project incredibly unique. We hope Creature Commandos becomes another example of amazing success, a creative, compelling approach which will ultimately affect many other projects.

This trailer showcases what could potentially become incredibly popular for the right kind of audience: This action-packed animated series features gory fights and lots of dark humor! And those unexpected DCU developments involving Waller and those newly highlighted themes really set up what could become one of the greatest animated productions from DC Studios. That first look hints at a truly fantastic story. The renewed enthusiasm, completely divorced from what happened previously promises a much-needed change for all fans seeking more action and different narratives.  This December is going to be huge! We eagerly await.
