James Gunn kicks off the new DC Universe with the strange and endearing series 'Creature Commandos' on Max

’s tenure running DC’s film and TV operations. Why kick off this post-Snyderverse era with a gory and frequently sad animated spinoff of Gunn’s, populated largely by DC Z-listers like GI Robot and Dr. Phosphorus, plus public domain characters like Frankenstein’s monster and his Bride? Why not go straight to Gunn’s Superman film, and save the quirky obscurities until after the brand has been more properly rebooted.

But Gunn didn’t get to the top of the comic book movie and TV mountain through big brand names. He did it with the help of characters even most hardcore comics fans didn’t care about from Rocket and Groot — respectively, a talking raccoon and a talking tree — in. Now that he’s the man co-running DC Studios, Gunn has to lean into the mainstream at least a little, but his heart clearly still lies with the four-color freaks and geeks as it does with the Man of Steel and his more famous friends.
