Peacemaker Season 2 continues to expand James Gunn’s twisted corner of the DC Universe, and Episode 3 delivers one of the richest sets of Easter eggs yet. After Chris Smith drunkenly stumbled into an alternate reality in Episode 2, this week dives fully into that dimension, mixing fan-favorite callbacks, deep-cut DC references, and surprising cameos.
List of major easter eggs and DC references in Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 3
Judo Master Returns With Cheetos
Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 3 ends with the return of Judomaster, played by Nhut Le. ARGUS recruits him to take down Peacemaker, and fans quickly notice that his love for Cheetos hasn’t gone anywhere.
Kardashians Don’t Exist in the Alternate DCU
When Peacemaker mocks Keith’s sense of fashion, he compares it to “The Kardashians’ furniture.” Keith responds with confusion. He clarifies that in this alternate DC reality, the Kardashians never became the global icons they are in our world.
Michael Rooker’s Red St. Wild
James Gunn’s longtime collaborator Michael Rooker officially joins the series as Red St. Wild, an eccentric eagle tracker brought in after Eagly’s rampage. While Rooker previously played Savant in The Suicide Squad, this is a brand-new character created for the show.
Rick Flag Jr. Is Back, in Yellow
Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag Jr. makes a surprising return despite his death at the hands of Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad. In this alternate world, he never died and even began dating Emilia Harcourt after her breakup with the local Peacemaker.
He sports his signature yellow shirt, tying back to both his comic roots and his cinematic look. Flashbacks also reveal moments with Harcourt before the Corto Maltese mission, cementing his importance to Peacemaker’s legacy.
June Moone’s Enchantress Still Exists
Dialogue casually mentions Rick’s girlfriend, June Moone, also known as the Enchantress. Although the 2016 Suicide Squad suggested her magical alter ego was defeated, this reference confirms that the Enchantress still exists in this reality, leaving one of DC’s most dangerous supernatural threats active.
The Peace-Cycle
In true comic book fashion, Peacemaker rolls up to ARGUS on his star-spangled “Peace-Cycle.” The red, white, and blue motorcycle feels like a playful mash-up of the Bat-Cycle and Captain America’s ride, fitting perfectly with Peacemaker’s over-the-top patriotism.
The Mighty Crabjoys
A background billboard for “The Mighty Crabjoys” continues James Gunn’s running gag across the DCU. The fictional punk band has already appeared in Creature Commandos and Superman, making them the most consistent Easter egg of the new canon.
Sons of Liberty
A violent extremist group called the Sons of Liberty surfaces in Episode 3, staging bombings and taking over a government building. Pulled from the 1990s Superman comics, this group represents a dark reflection of hyper-patriotism.
