DCU Timeline: How Peacemaker Picks Up Where Superman Ends
92DCU Timeline: How Peacemaker Picks Up Where Superman Ends
Peacemaker Season 2 arrives on August 21, 2025, and James Gunn has confirmed it takes place just one month after Superman (2025). That means Peacemaker’s return isn’t just a continuation of his own story — it’s the first series to show how the DCU timeline unfolds after Superman.
In this video, we break down how Peacemaker Season 2 connects directly to Superman’s ending, from Rick Flag Sr.’s revenge to the fallout of Lex Luthor’s defeat and Krypto’s rescue. We’ll look at confirmed cameos like Guy Gardner, Maxwell Lord, and Hawkgirl, explore what the soft reboot means for Peacemaker Season 1, and explain how this sets up the larger DCU.
We also explore the bigger picture: Superman vs. Peacemaker’s very different heroism, the DCU’s first big tonal shift from family-friendly Superman to an R-rated series, and what Peacemaker could tease for upcoming projects like Lanterns, Waller, and The Authority.
