"James Gunn is wisely building this new saga around Superman, with a trilogy of films focused on the hero and his allies. It's already shaping up to deliver what Zack Snyder's DCEU couldn't: though it also kicked things off with a new origin story for Superman, Snyder's Man of Steel ultimately took a backseat to the introduction of the Justice League. Gunn plans to go another way with his DC Universe."
"With DC starting fresh, fans are hoping for a second chance for Darkseid in Gunn's DCU. Some even guessed that Peacemaker's Season 2 finale was sneakily setting up the villain and his followers, the New Gods of Apokolips. In the comics, the planet Salvation (where Peacemaker finds himself at the end of Season 2) is ruled by DeSaad, one of Darkseid's ruthless disciples."
Peacemaker Season 2 and a broader franchise reset have launched James Gunn's DCU with a Superman-centered approach. Gunn plans a trilogy of films focused on Superman and his allies and intends to delay assembling the full Justice League. Darkseid serves as a powerful, recurring DC villain since 1970, driven to conquer with the Anti-Life Equation and comparable to Marvel's Thanos. Fans interpreted Peacemaker's Season 2 ending and the planet Salvation as possible setup for Darkseid and his New Gods, led locally by DeSaad. Gunn has publicly denied plans to bring Darkseid into the DCU in the near future.
