After becoming the co-CEO of DC Studios in November 2022 alongside producer Peter Safran, James Gunn"s DCU reboot announcement included the confirmation of a Creature Commandos series for Max. The series" December 2024 release has gone hand-in-hand with the reveal of its early Rotten Tomatoes critics score, which further cements Gunn as a superhero franchise expert.
Consisting of seven episodes premiering on December 5, Creature Commandos will see a black ops team of monsters brought together by Amanda Waller following the events of The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker season 1. The animated series marks the very start of Gunn and Safran"s rebooted DC Universe, introducing audiences to new characters and establishing a new continuity that the likes of Superman, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Lanterns will continue in the near future.

Based on only 21 reviews, Creature Commandos is the most well-reviewed superhero project produced by James Gunn, though its 95% critics score will likely decrease when more critics add their own opinions. The series" audience score is also yet to be determined, though only two of Gunn"s projects have breached a 90% audience score, so it remains to be seen whether Creature Commandos will join this elite group comprising 2014"s Guardians of the Galaxy and its 2023 threequel. Creature Commandos" early reviews are very positive, so it has a good chance of accomplishing this feat.
