Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors James Gunn wants Christopher Smith to go toe-to-toe with the Caped Crusader. That's the news out of CCXP 2025 in Mexico City where DC Studios co-head Gunn and Peacemaker himself, John Cena, answered questions about the upcoming season of "Peacemaker" and debuted a behind-the-scenes sizzle reel. According to ComicBookMovie, when asked who in the DCU they would want to see fight Peacemaker, Gunn answered that he would love to see Batman and Cena's antihero clash.

It's tough to say in part because we know so little about what is planned for the DCU's Batman. The new version of the character is set to debut in "The Brave and the Bold" which is still in development with no word on who might be the new Bruce Wayne.

Katie Yu/HBO Max Along with talking about a potential Batman and Peacemaker clash, Gunn premiered a behind-the-scenes teaser with some very interesting details for those who look closely. You can watch the sizzle reel below. The sizzle reel opens with a dark confrontation between Peacemaker and Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo), the new head of A.R.G.U.S. and the father of Rick Flag Jr. (Joel Kinnaman) who Peacemaker killed in 2021's "The Suicide Squad". "Peacemaker" fans curious about the new dance intro for Season 2 should watch closely, because a number of shots show the stars performing parts of the new dance. Story-wise there are some interesting things to note. For one, the White Dragon is back in spite of the character's death in "Peacemaker" Season 1. It's possible it could be someone other than Auggie Smith in the suit. Since there have been hints that part of the new season will unfold in an alternate reality, the White Dragon we're seeing could be from a reality in which his character survived. There also seem to be some new characters we haven't heard about before. At about the 35 second mark a dark clad figure flies through the air and crashes into a helicopter. At the 51 second mark, there's a menacing looking alien character sitting in a foldout chair. "Peacemaker" Season 2 premieres on HBO Max on August 21.

New SUPERMAN Image Features the Man of Steel and Krypto in the Fortress of Solitude — GeekTyrant
Here's a new photo from James Gunn's Superman , and it features the Man of Steel, Krypto, and and one of his robot servants in the Fortress of Solitude. There was a recent screening of the film at Warner Bros., and according to studio heads Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca, Gunn has delivered a great film. De Luca previously shared: "We've seen an early cut of Superman, and I don't want to bury the lede, there's a lot of marketing about to roll out ahead of its release, but he really understood the assignment." De Luca went on to say: "His heart's in the right place, his aim is true, and we're really excited about their new version of DC." The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult stepping into the shoes of Lex Luthor. It will be the first official film in the new DC Universe timeline, kicking off Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, a rollout that will eventually include five films and five shows, among them Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and The Brave and the Bold , Clayface , Swamp Thing , and more. Gunn's take on Superman is meant to be a reset with heart, purpose, and, apparently, a strong grasp on what the character and the fans deserve. And with marketing soon to ramp up, it's safe to say the Man of Steel is about to soar back into the spotlight. Ready or not, the new DCU starts here.
