Creature Commandos
The canyon connections between theDCU’sCreature Commandosand the DCEU’sThe Suicide Squadhave an exciting entailment for David Corenswet’sSuperman . Creature Commandos ' two - episodepremiere found a clear bridgework between the DCEU and the DCU through Amanda Waller , Rick Flag Sr . , and Task Force M , all of whom find themselves on a charge to protect Pokolistan from Circe in part because Waller is forestall from assembling a human squad after the events ofThe Suicide SquadandPeacemaker . Meanwhile , the portion of the make it Task Force X anti - sub is currently nameless .
SinceCreature Commandos ' Task Force Mis composed purely of non - human anti - champion , Weasel is the only member of Amanda Waller ’s Task Force X that return . However , the fact thatCreature Commandosconfirms that Rick Flag Jr. ’s expiry and Project Starfish are part of DCU canyon indicate that DCEU grapheme like Harley Quinn , Ratcatcher II , and Bloodsport are animated and active somewhere out there . Andif Idris Elba ’s Bloodsport own the same backstory in the DCU , then it would be safe to say that part of Superman ’s DCU backstory has already been make .
The Suicide Squad’s DCU Canon Status Suggests Idris Elba’s Bloodsport Almost Killed David Corenswet’s Superman
The Suicide Squad’s Bloodsport Mystery Might Finally Have An Answer
InThe Suicide Squad , Amanda Waller introduces Robert Dubois a.k.a . Bloodsport to John Economos , tell him how Bloodsport"sent Superman to the ICU with a Kryptonite bullet" . Given that James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadserved as a sonant - reboot of David Ayer’sSuicide Squad , which version of Superman almost expire to Bloodsport ’s approach was left equivocal . Still , it seemed like it was Henry Cavill ’s Man of Steel who had an almost deadly encounter with Bloodsport . Now thatCreature CommandosbringsThe Suicide Squadto DCU canon , it seems more likely that Bloodsport almost pop David Corenswet ’s Superman some fourth dimension in the past tense .
I think I ’ve figured out a really dark way in which 2025 ’s Superman could set up the forthcoming Green Lantern show in the new DC Universe .
In retrospect , it makes more sensory faculty that Bloodsport tried to assassinate David Corenswet ’s Superman than Henry Cavill ’s . The DCEU followed Henry Cavill ’s Superman from his origin storey to his demise at the hand of Doomsday to his Resurrection of Christ and the introduction of the Justice League , until Superman ’s hope to arrest Black Adam under Amanda Waller ’s command . If Cavill ’s Superman had suffer an assassination attempt , it would have in all probability been brought up at some compass point in the DCEU , specially if Superman ended up working with his would - be - orca ’s boss , Amanda Waller .
Bloodsport’s Assassination Attempt On Superman Fits The DCU’s Timeline
David Corenswet’s Superman Must Have Already Met Several Mid-Level Villains In The DCU
Creature CommandosandSupermanlaunch the DCU at a point in the timeline where the humans is already full of metahumans , vigilantes , and monsters . David Corenswet ’s Kal - El is n’t a veteran hero by the time he stars in his solo movie , butthe DCU ’s Superman must have encountered multiple enemy of all kinds , admit some metahumans and a few deadly assassins like Bloodsport . It sound more likely for David Corenswet ’s inexperienced Superman to have a near - demise experience with Bloodsport than Henry Cavill ’s more seasoned Superman , who must have been wary of Kryptonite both before and after his battle with Batman inBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice .
Creature Commandos episode 1 set up the Amazons ' struggle with humanness , beleaguer Wonder Woman ’s unveiling despite her deficiency of DCU projects .
For the DCU ’s Bloodsport , assassinate Superman may have seemed like a regular mission — another metahuman in his long listing of targets . InThe Suicide Squad , Amanda Waller spotlight Bloodsport ’s character assassination attempt on Superman , but does n’t elucidate whether that ’s the crime that sent Robert Dubois to Belle Reve . Perhaps Bloodsport was beguile long after shooting Superman , while the DCU ’s Kryptonian hero focused on facing other menace likeSuperman ’s antagonist Lex Luthorand the Engineer . If Bloodsport had attempt to kill Henry Cavill ’s Superman , other DCEU heroes like Batman and Wonder Woman would have ease up him a worse punishment than a sentence at Belle Reve .

Bloodsport’s Superman Feat Will Put The Suicide Squad’s DCU Canon To The Test
Superman’s Backstory Could Make Or Break The Suicide Squad’s Connection To The DCU
So far , Creature CommandosmakesThe Suicide Squadpart of DCU canon . As a outcome , The Suicide Squadcould be rewatched as the DCU ’s first installation — a canon prequel to DCU installments likeCreature Commandos , Peacemakerseason 2 , andWaller . Also , if Bloodsport ’s backstory remains intact in the DCU , thenThe Suicide Squadwould feature the first mention of David Corenswet ’s Superman . However , if James Gunn’sSupermanmakes it unacceptable for Bloodsport ’s assassination attempt to fit Kal - El ’s backstory , that would be the first element fromTheSuicide Squadto be contradict explicitly by the DCU .
old to the DCU ’s creation , James Gunn had teased anotherThe Suicide Squadspinoff separate fromPeacemaker . This spinoff may have centered around Bloodsport or Ratcatcher II .
The DCU already want to retcon the Justice League ’s cameo inPeacemakerseason 1 ’s end , as James Gunn confirmed that the Justice League does n’t exist yet in the DCU . Harley Quinn ’s backstory will also have to be changed if Margot Robbie returns in a future DCU picture or show . If the DCU also retcons Bloodsport ’s attack onSuperman , The Suicide Squad ’s canon status would start to get complicated .
