You never know what Easter eggs you might have missed, so check out our video above for a comprehensive recap of the latest season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">DC has been through some changes over the last few years: The old DC cinematic universe was scrapped, with James Gunn (director of &#8220;The Suicide Squad&#8221;\u00a0and most of &#8220;Peacemaker&#8221;\u00a0Season 1) and Peter Safran taking over as heads of DC Studios. A\u00a0new continuity was formed, with &#8220;Creature Commandos&#8221;\u00a0and &#8220;Superman&#8221;\u00a0launching this new universe, and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/1949868\/peacemaker-season-2-premiere-changes-justice-league-history-dc-universe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:&quot;Peacemaker&quot;\u00a0Season 2 had to change some history to make things line up;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">&#8220;Peacemaker&#8221;\u00a0Season 2 had to change some history to make things line up<\/a>. It definitely falls into the camp of &#8220;don&#8217;t think about it too hard&#8221; when it comes to covering up a retcon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And &#8220;Peacemaker&#8221;\u00a0is a direct follow-up to the events of &#8220;Superman,&#8221;\u00a0which makes sense given that\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/1908788\/james-gunn-superman-movie-small-details\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Peacemaker (John Cena) had a small cameo in the 2025 blockbuster;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Peacemaker (John Cena) had a small cameo in the 2025 blockbuster<\/a>. Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) is also in the mix following a &#8220;Superman&#8221;\u00a0appearance as the new head of A.R.G.U.S., who has some personal beef with Peacemaker after the vigilante killed his son during the events of &#8220;The Suicide Squad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/61086\/every-version-joker-ranked-worst-best\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Every On-Screen Joker Ranked From Worst To Best;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Every On-Screen Joker Ranked From Worst To Best<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">James Gunn pulled out all the stops for Peacemaker Season 2<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Lex Luthor talking through the phone on &#8220;Peacemaker&#8221; (2022-present) &#8211; HBO Max<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There&#8217;s another reason why Rick Flag is so interested in Peacemaker this season: he&#8217;s continuing to use portal technology to leap into other dimensions. Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) used similar technology to access his pocket dimension in &#8220;Superman,&#8221; so A.R.G.U.S. doesn&#8217;t want anyone else misusing the tech. Meanwhile, throughout much of the season, fans thought this other, seemingly\u00a0utopian dimension\u00a0was a little\u00a0too<em>\u00a0<\/em>perfect and believed it would be revealed as Earth-X, a reality where the Nazis won World War II. Turns out, the fans were correct, with Episode 6, &#8220;Ignorance is Chris,&#8221;\u00a0delivering the devastating twist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Episode 6 also included a surprising appearance from Lex Luthor himself, who&#8217;s still locked up from the aforementioned events of &#8220;Superman.&#8221;\u00a0However, he strikes a deal with Flag to tell him how he can find where Peacemaker&#8217;s portal is in exchange for a prison transfer from Belle Reve to Van Knull, which doesn&#8217;t have any metahumans. A follow-up to &#8220;Superman,&#8221;\u00a0titled &#8220;Man of Tomorrow,&#8221;\u00a0is already in the works, and this deal could be pivotal to that film&#8217;s events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Whereas the Marvel Cinematic Universe took over a decade to start toying around with the multiverse, DC Studios is diving headfirst into it, and many <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/1933849\/superman-theories-that-change-everything\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:&quot;Superman&quot;\u00a0fan theories;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">&#8220;Superman&#8221;\u00a0fan theories<\/a> believe other realities will be crucial to the franchise&#8217;s future \u2014 like Earth-3, where Ultraman (David Corenswet) might have been sent at the end of &#8220;Superman.&#8221; Regardless of what happens next, we just hope there isn&#8217;t another three-year wait for &#8220;Peacemaker&#8221;\u00a0Season 3 \u2014 but check out our video to make sure you caught everything in Season 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you enjoyed this article, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.looper.com\/newsletter-syndicated\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:sign up to our free newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">sign up to our free newsletter<\/a> for the biggest movie and TV news delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/1993270\/peacemaker-season-2-dc-universe-details-easter-eggs-ending-theories\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:original article on Looper;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">original article on Looper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contains spoilers for &#8220;Peacemaker&#8221; Season 2It took over three years for another season of &#8220;Peacemaker&#8221;\u00a0to get here, but it hasn&#8217;t disappointed.
