Spoiler alert! This article contains spoilers for Creature Commandos episodes 1 & 2.
The DCU officially launched with Creature Commandos, the first project under James Gunn and Peter Safran"s ambitious reboot of the DCEU timeline. The animated series introduces a unique roster of characters, blending classic horror tropes with DC"s superhero lore. However, Creature Commandos episode 2 ends with a shocking twist, seemingly leaving two of its key characters on the brink of death. This cliffhanger raises questions about the future of Creature Commandos and the larger implications for the DCU"s storytelling approach.
Creature Commandos is the first official project in the DCU"s new canon. The series focuses on a ragtag team of supernatural and superpowered misfits, including the Bride of Frankenstein (simply referred to as "the Bride"), Rick Flag Sr., and Nina Mazursky, an amphibious scientist based on The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Yet, even within this offbeat setup, the dramatic ending of Episode 2 stands out as a bold narrative choice.

Despite the Bride’s immense strength and resilience, Circe’s magical prowess gives her the upper hand, and she manages to subdue the Bride in a dramatic display of power, ultimately pushing her off the roof.
