The trailer is finally here for Peacemaker season 2! The DCU is alive and kicking!
Taking place a month after the events of Superman, Peacemaker season 2 will see John Cena’s titular anti-hero travel to another universe where his other self is a respected hero and makes a better life for himself but it seems his friends believe that his world is where he belongs.
Is this going to explain why some events in the first season are canon while others aren’t? I’m going to say that it might just.
Tidbit:
John Cena took to the stage at SDCC dressed in full Peacemaker garb! Awesome!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
