:0:1

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Creature Commandos episodes 1 & 2Creature Commandos has released its two-episode premiere, featuring an impressive collection of exciting Easter eggs and references. The first official project in the newly rebooted DC Universe from DC Studios" James Gunn and Peter Safran, the animated Creature Commandos show is the very first look at the newly rebooted cinematic universe, while also helping confirm which parts of the old DCEU might still be part of the canon. While the premiere does a great job of introducing Task Force M aka The Creature Commandos in those first two episodes, it also features some very exciting references that confirm quite a bit.
As seen in Creature Commandos episodes 1 & 2, Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) recruits Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) to serve as the new field commander for Task Force M, a new team of incarcerated operatives that circumvents new mandates from Congress as the roster is solely filled with monsters and those she considers not human. To that end, The Creature Commandos are deployed on their first mission to the European nation of Pokolistan. To that end, here are the biggest Easter eggs and DC references to be found in Creature Commandos episodes 1 & 2.
17 Belle Reve & Argus Amanda Waller Is Still Running Task Forces in The DCU

Continuing what"s been seen from the DCEU, it looks as though the DCU"s Amanda Waller is still running Argus and her Task Force program out of Belle Reve Penitentiary. Likewise, it seems as though the events of certain past DCEU projects are still canon to the DCU, including James Gunn"s The Suicide Squad as well as Peacemaker season 1, based on later references that get made in Creature Commandos premiere episodes.
16 GBS Galaxy Broadcasting System Close At the beginning of Creature Commandos episode 1, Waller and Rick Flag Sr. are watching a new report from GBS. Galaxy Broadcasting Systems is a major news network in the DC Comics Universe, and it was also featured multiple times in the previous DCEU, including its very first movie Man of Steel.
15 The Sons of Themyscira New Origins For Creature Commandos

A battalion of men known who demand to visit the island of the Amazons (which historically forbids men), The Sons of Themyscira are being led by the witch Circe who has promised to take them to the island if they help her take over Pokolistan and overthrow its princess. In the comics, the Sons were the actual male children of the Amazons who were discarded and taken by Hephaestus to work in his forges.
14 Circe A Powerful Amazonian Witch

Voiced by The Witcher"s Anya Chalotra, Circe herself is a major DC Comics villain and classic rival of Wonder Woman. Believing herself to be the rightful heir to Themyscira, it"s currently unknown why Circe wants to invade Pokolistan. It"s also worth noting that once more, Amanda Waller is sending a Task Force to deal with a witch, as 2016"s Suicide Squad in the DCEU saw the team taking on The Enchantress.
13 "Your Daughter Outed You" Rick Flag Sr. References Peacemaker Season 1 And Waller's Daughter

Custom Image By Yailin Chacon Rick Flag Sr. questions how Waller can keep a Task Force running when Congress banned them after "her daughter outed her". This is a reference to the events of Peacemaker season 1 when Amanda"s daughter Adebayo exposed Project Butterfly, Task Force X, and her mother"s involvement during a press conference to clear Peacemaker and Vigilante"s names. As such, this apparently led to Congress ordering Waller to shut down Task Force X and the recruitment of incarcerated humans.
12 Waller Mentions Project Starfish The Suicide Squad's Corto Maltese Mission Close Showing Rick Flag Sr. her new team of non-human monsters as her loophole to get around Congress, Amanda Waller confirms that The Weasel was one of the only survivors of Project Starfish and the mission to Corto Maltese. This further confirms the canonical status of James Gunn"s The Suicide Squad and Task Force X"s battle with Starro (and Weasel"s brief involvement at the beginning of the movie).
11 Waller References Flag's Son Rick Flag Jr. Close Amanda Waller also offers her condolences to Rick Flag Sr. about the recent death of his son during the aforementioned Corto Maltese mission. Played by Joel Kinnaman, Rick Flag Jr. was murdered at the end of The Suicide Squad by Peacemaker.
10 James Gunn's Second Time As A Cartoon His First Appearance Was In Harley Quinn

In the opening credits sequence of Creature Commandos, James Gunn himself is featured in animated form at the very end, having written the series. However, James Gunn has also appeared in animation as himself before in Max"s animated Harley Quinn comedy series, shown directing a biopic of Thomas Wayne.
9 "The Last Trip Weasel Took" The Suicide Squad Close Weasel is shown freaking out on board the osprey taking them to Pokolistan. As such, Rick Flag Sr. confirms the reason Weasel is so nervous is because of the last trip he took on this particular jet. This is a reference to Weasel nearly drowning after being pushed out of the osprey and into the ocean as seen at the beginning of The Suicide Squad. Although it was believed that he had died, Weasel was revealed to still be alive in The Suicide Squad"s post-credits scenes.
