. Acts in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: The Return of the King (of the Hill) (2023). After all the waiting (despite all the revelations and confirmations), the brand new DCU kicks off with the beginning of “The Gods And Monsters” chapter with their first series “Creature Commandos” and as the title of the first chapter suggests, it literally has one!
James was best known for shining the spotlight on the Marvel Universe’s obscure superhero team Guardians of the Galaxy
Creature Commandos, the first series of the DCU, has all kinds of these things, like going back in time and looking into the future. Personally, I like Zack Snyder and James Gunn the most because they bring the DC movie experience into the modern era, except that Zack was at Netflix when he was preparing to return to WB with the 300 project, and James is now with Peter Safran, he was in charge of the long a DC employee and one of its producers. into the spotlight, now that he’s taken over the reins at DC Studios, the first thing he’s doing is doing the same with Creature Commandos, with a fresh start that most will see as what I believe to be…
a crazy mashup of the world of superheroes, gods and deities and monstrous units
I’ve seen the first few episodes of this and I see it as a crazy start for the entire DCU with some clever flashbacks and some cameos of unknown and popular DCU characters. While the overall plot was great, I personally love the terrible character origin plot and the smooth and clean quality animation, although James makes it clear that “everyone already knows Superman’s origin, so why do we even need to repeat it?” It definitely gives these characters the focus of the original as in the MCU, while the series also satirizes the current situation and really crazy world events and mixes them with DCU locations and events like Metropolis and Themyscira, consider all this: the villain Circe crashed the party and somehow revealed the whole plot in later episodes, the music is quite nostalgic, the series also includes several homages to DC Comics classics, monsters from Hammer and Universal, anime, French-Belgian “Bande Dessinee” and their “Ligne Claire”, Spanish culture, European movies, action movies nowadays, it’s all quite a bit Monstrous start for DCU, but the best is yet to come… right now DCU and ita Futures and Elseworlds ( we may have batman and joker but is the snyderverse out and ayer is there reeves and keaton in there?) they are just starting with superman launched in 2025 stay tuned for more episodes and more DCU.P.
