As a seasoned gamer and DC Universe enthusiast with over two decades of fandom under my belt, let me tell you, the Easter eggs in Creature Commandos have been nothing short of mind-blowing! The continuity tie-ins to Suicide Squad and Peacemaker through Ultrabunny’s ubiquitous presence across these productions have added an exciting layer of depth to the DCU.
Intriguing details abound for discerning viewers of Creature Commandos, as eagle-eyed DC enthusiasts have discovered numerous concealed references and Easter eggs within the initial two episodes alone. For example, in a fleeting instance that could easily be missed, Eric Frankenstein (portrayed vocally by David Harbour) dons a T-shirt adorned with a bunny drawing. Remarkably, this same image has been seen in The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker‘s first season. This T-shirt serves to link the three productions together, subtly hinting that all DC projects helmed by James Gunn share a common continuity. However, it’s important to note that the bunny’s presence in multiple places is not only a clever Easter egg but also has an in-universe explanation: The T-shirt showcases Ultrabunny, a renowned cartoon character within the DC Universe.
In The Suicide Squad, Rick Flag Jr., portrayed by Joel Kinnaman, is compelled to change outfits following a near-fatal incident at Corto Maltese’s beach. For the remainder of the film, he dons a yellow T-shirt featuring Ultrabunny, who holds a sign that reads “obstáculos son oportunidades,” or “obstacles are opportunities” in Spanish. The character Ultrabunny resurfaces in Peacemaker on two occasions. Initially, Evan Calcaterra (Lenny Jacobson) is seen wearing an Ultrabunny T-shirt during his debriefing with Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) following a run-in with Peacemaker that results in him and his wife being restrained to evade the police. Additionally, there’s an Ultrabunny action figure on the hood of Vigilante’s (Freddie Stroma) vehicle.
In Episode 2, the Creature Commandos series continued, delving into the chilling past of characters Eric and The Bride (voiced by Indira Varma). Towards the end, a thrilling montage showed Eric pursuing The Bride across decades, with snapshots of both characters at various points in their lives. It’s revealed that in the 1990s, Eric had a T-shirt resembling one worn by Rick Flag Jr. in Corto Maltese, an intriguing detail that underscores Gunn’s keen eye for continuity. As Gunn himself points out, Ultrabunny is a well-known cartoon character within the DCU, making his frequent appearances more fitting.
Creature Commandos Defines the DCU Canon
In a playful, seemingly inconsequential manner, Ultrabunny appears in the new series Creature Commandos, serving as an amusing Easter egg. However, the initial episodes of this show actually validate the key events from Peacemaker Season 1 and The Suicide Squad, such as the Corto Maltese operation, Task Force X’s fight against Starro, Rick Flag Jr.’s demise, and Adebayo exposing Amanda Waller’s secrets to the media. Moreover, this animated series sheds light on the DCU’s chronology by positioning the Pokolistan mission as taking place two years following Operation Starfish.
The Creature Commandos series not only resolves lingering queries about past events but also introduces intriguing elements for the future. For one example, establishing The Suicide Squad as canon may foreshadow the 2025 Superman narrative. Moreover, the latest trailer contains enough fallen superheroes to suggest that the animated series is preparing the stage for other intense DC Universe storylines.
New episodes of Creature Commandos hit MAX every Thursday until January 9, 2025.
