Throughout the course of Creature Commandos, each main character has had their moment to excel, but The Bride (portrayed by Indira Varma) has always been the central figure since the series’ inception. This is evident in the first flashback episode which delves into The Bride’s background, and how Pokolistan ties directly to her narrative. Moreover, Eric Frankenstein, voiced by David Harbour, serves as one of the primary antagonists for the first season. In the finale of Creature Commandos, The Bride’s significance is underscored as she becomes a pivotal character not only for this series but also within the broader DC Universe.
Following the act of The Bride eliminating Princess Ilana (portrayed by Maria Bakalova), averting World War III, she is bestowed with the command of Task Force M. This ending aligns perfectly with The Bride’s journey, as the initial season facilitated her rebuilding relationships after a hundred years of evading capture. Throughout this series, The Bride not only learns to collaborate within a team but also rises to lead other monstrous beings, which seems like a logical culmination of her character development and offers viewers a fulfilling resolution. Nevertheless, The Bride’s ascension to power in Belle Reve carries substantial ramifications for the DC Universe as a whole.
The Bride Is Now the Bridge to the DCU’s Prison System
In the thrilling realm of the DC Universe, I’ve always found the prison system to be a pivotal element. Yet, it assumes an even more profound significance within this universe, particularly under the creative vision of James Gunn. His passion for exploring themes such as justice, retribution, reformation, and most importantly, the imperative of vigilantism in a world plagued by supernatural perils, truly defines the essence of projects like The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker. These stories have been officially acknowledged within the DCU following the introduction of Creature Commandos. As a fan, I can’t wait to see how these narratives unfold!
Thus far, Amanda Waller (portrayed by Viola Davis) has been the consistent character connecting various projects. Yet, given that she serves as an unrelenting antagonist whom viewers cannot empathize with, it would be advantageous for the DC Universe to introduce another character as the focal point for the prison system’s narrative.
Following The Bride’s promotion in the series “Creature Commandos”, viewers now have a character to root for as various projects delve into the destinies of supervillains confined within Belle Reve. Waller continues to make regular appearances, looming as a menacing figure ready to squash anyone who challenges U.S. interests. Simultaneously, The Bride can emerge as an appealing antihero, advocating for the well-being of monsters, potentially even clashing with Waller on occasion.
Monsters Are a Big Part of the DCU
In my viewpoint, although The Bride ultimately safeguards the world from Ilana and Grodd’s impending menace, it’s vengeance that fuels her to eliminate the princess. As The Bride herself articulates, Nina (brought to life by Zoë Chao) was the finest among Task Force M, a life not meant to be cut short due to Ilana’s intricate machinations. The Bride doesn’t fight for humanity out of affection; quite the contrary. She sees human lives as inconsequential and feels that the world mistreats those who are unique, labeling them as “monsters.
In the comic series Creature Commandos, the unjust treatment of monsters is a common occurrence, such as Nina being wrongfully imprisoned and Weasel (voiced by Sean Gunn) being unfairly labeled a murderer of children. It’s evident that Waller has been exploiting Belle Reve to manage her diverse squads, even fabricating sentences to keep powerful creatures subservient under her command. For Waller, the goal justifies the means, and monsters serve as disposable resources for safeguarding humans (predominantly Americans). These actions have reinforced the “us against them” mindset that has taken root in The Bride’s reawakened consciousness.
Waller’s move to have The Bride manage the abnormal prisoners at Belle Reve seems tactically shrewd, but there’s a risk it might lead to trouble. If The Bride becomes disillusioned by the systemic injustices faced by her teammates, she could use her power and moral authority to confront Waller. It’s important to mention that Gunn’s DCU narrative, titled “Gods and Monsters,” starts with this chapter, implying that The Bride, as the de facto leader of these ‘monsters’, may exert a wider influence that extends beyond the limits of the Creature Commandos.
Ultimately, The Bride’s long-standing life span opens up possibilities for interactions with different creatures from the DC Universe throughout various productions. This is evident in the season finale when only The Bride identifies Clayface (voice by Alan Tudyk) on the security footage at the castle. Not even Waller was aware of Clayface, necessitating Economos (played by Steve Agee) to enlighten her about his shape-shifting powers. This leaves us wondering when and where The Bride met Clayface. Given that Clayface is slated for a DCU film in 2026, The Bride (and actress Indira Varma) might make their live-action debut, thereby strengthening The Bride’s position as the bridge connecting to the monster-filled part of the DC Universe.
