Creature Commandos - Episodes 1-2 REVIEW | DCU

The DCU has officially begun! Creature Commandos has now debuted with its first 2 episodes on Max and other platforms across the world. James Gunn is back to deliver us more glorious, unhinged, very adult superhero fare with tons of heart, violence and... monsters. As you all know, I have been so in on what James Gunn is building with his and Peter Safran's upcoming DC Universe, that will be in full flow with Superman, releasing on July 11, 2025. As you all also know, James Gunn very often tells stories that feel very meaningful to me, despite leaning so heavy into the Sci-Fi and insane violence, depending on whether you look at Guardians of the Galaxy or The Suicide Squad/Peacemaker. So, does Creature Commandos continues James Gunn's incredible streak of very entertaining and heartfelt comic book movies and shows, or is it his first major miss? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review! Synopsis: Follows a group of military super humans composed by a human leader, a werewolf, a vampire, Frankenstein's monster and a gorgon.
