Peacemaker Season 2 is almost here, and this time, the series is part of the DCU canon, which means the events of Superman may play a big role in this show going forward. Here is everything you need to remember from Superman that might impact the story of Peacemaker Season 2.
Major details from Superman to remember before Peacemaker Season 2
Unlike most DC heroes from the pre-DCU age, John Cena’s Peacemaker has made a successful transition to the newly established DCU. This means the events of the DCU films will now impact the show. As the first movie of the DCU, Superman featured some big developments that could play a role in Peacemaker Season 2.
Here are three important things to remember from Superman ahead of Peacemaker Season 2:
The big dimensional rift
Peacemaker Season 1 had already given a glimpse of a pocket universe, a concept further explored in Superman. By the end of Superman, a dimensional rift had nearly torn Metropolis apart. This rift and the pocket universe storyline could return in Peacemaker Season 2. The second Season’s trailer has also teased the existence of other dimensions.
Peacemaker’s take on Superman
Peacemaker’s appearance in Superman may influence the second season. He appeared on The Sphere News, a program hosted by Cleavis Thornwaite. After it was revealed that Superman was sent to conquer the Earth, Peacemaker criticized him. He said in the movie, “Can’t say I’m surprised, Cleavis, these guys like this, they’ve always got a bunch of dark ugly secrets…”
This dynamic could be important going forward.
The element of Rick Flag Sr.
Rick Flag Sr. is connected to both Superman and Peacemaker. While Peacemaker killed his son in Suicide Squad, Rick Flag Sr. also played a key role in Superman. His stance on superpowered individuals was a central part of the plot. Hence, he may be an important character in Peacemaker Season 2 as well.
Peacemaker Season 2 premieres on August 21, 2025. Stay tuned for updates.
