Peacemaker
Give peace a f#cking chance.
The continuing story of Peacemaker, a vainglorious superhero/supervillain who believes in peace at any cost — no matter how many people he has to kill. After a miraculous recovery from his duel with Bloodsport, Peacemaker soon discovers that his freedom comes at a price.
Covers both eight-episode seasons of the 2022 live-action parent series. Season one follows The Suicide Squad in the DCEU; season two continues after Superman in the DCU, carrying over most earlier events while revising superhero references and the Justice League finale cameo. The original finale and revised season-two recap are included episode coverage. Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Maxwell Lord and Lex Luthor have explicit performer-role corroboration; Superman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Mister Terrific also have documented cameo or recap depictions without establishing their film actors performed those silent appearances. Rick Flag Sr. remains distinct from the younger Rick Flag in the existing official profile. DC identifies Auggie Smith as White Dragon; the pending Blue Dragon label requires variant-specific review. Remaining official profile matches, complete episode-specific supporting and archival credits, and silent/background appearance coverage remain unresolved. Apple lists season-one episodes three and five at 39 and 42 minutes, conflicting with the existing 40 and 43; preserve episode runtimes pending edition-specific resolution. The representative 45-minute runtime remains estimated.
Why it matters in DC
Peacemaker takes a character whose pursuit of peace depends on violence and makes that contradiction the centre of an ongoing story. It follows his encounter with Bloodsport, while the catalogue's season notes distinguish his DCEU background from the later DCU setting.

Story prerequisites are curated. Likely prerequisites are inferred from sequel numbering or explicit synopsis references. Recommendations are earlier stories in the same continuity; background picks are separate adaptations. Series lists cover whole shows, not an episode-by-episode watch order.
Where it fits in the DC universe
Peacemaker is title 6 of 7 in our DC Universe viewing sequence. Start with season one's A Whole New Whirled and continue through both seasons in episode order. The Suicide Squad supplies the originating background, while season two continues in the DCU after Superman. Season one originally belonged to the DCEU; season two carries over most of that history with revised superhero references and a changed finale cameo.
