“Peacemaker” achieved the unthinkable: It redeemed Chris Smith (John Cena) after he killed Rick Flag Jr. (Joel Kinnaman) in “The Suicide Squad” and made fans care about a foul-mouthed C-grade DC character who wears a chromed toilet bowl as a helmet. It shouldn’t be all too surprising, considering showrunner and DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn‘s comic book adaptation track record of turning relative unknowns into franchise superstars (see: “Guardians of the Galaxy” for further proof of this).
There’s no shortage of characters to play with in the DC Universe, but it’s about striking a balance of where to feature them and how.
