DC fans, like any dedicated fanbase, have a keen eye for details and some of them were slightly confused about the contrasting appearances of one character in particular. It was observed by many that Rick Flag Sr.’s hair is white in the animated series Creature Commandos but black in Superman and Peacemaker. Luckily for all of us, James Gunn addressed the discrepancy in a recent interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, and the explanation is practical and more importantly, funny.

“We were going to originally do the white, he was going to dye it white, and then I saw somebody the other day say, ‘Well, what about temporary hair dye? Haven't you ever heard of temporary hair dye?’ And I’m like, ‘It looks like shit. Yes, I’ve heard of that, and it looks like absolute shit when you’re putting fake gray on somebody’s very dark black hair.’”
