James Gunn developed HBO Max's DC Universe series Peacemaker. The first season aired in January 2022 after The Suicide Squad film, while the second began on August 21, 2025. Action, dark comedy, and comic book mythology make it a distinct superhero program.

Christopher Smith (John Cena), known as Peacemaker, is a major character. Peacemaker is a jingoistic vigilante who uses violence and absurdity to protect peace. He navigates a crew of misfits and a turbulent universe of villains and heroes, bringing humor and emotional turmoil to the series.

Episode 4 has many Easter eggs and allusions to the DC Universe, Peacemaker stories, and characters. Hidden elements give complexity and interest for casual and diehard viewers.

Episode 4 concludes with a big twist: Emilia Harcourt seems to betray Peacemaker, trapping him under Rick Flag Sr.'s spell. Harcourt's choice between devotion and the opportunity to restart her life might have devastating implications. Meanwhile, Red St. Wild's peculiar ritual reveals his unexpected magical skills, providing another dimension of intrigue.

It has numerous surprise Easter eggs. Superman and “Superman lies” are mentioned in the Project Butterfly briefing, a highlight. This cheeky reference links the series to the DC movie world while maintaining its self-awareness.

Peacemaker's usage of the X-ray helmet helps the squad detect alien Butterfly-infected people. This gadget is a brilliant story element and an homage to old sci-fi gadgetry, fitting the show's genres.

The episode becomes even more bizarre with a Butterfly alien-infected intelligent gorilla. This scene shows how the program welcomes strange, unexpected twists to keep viewers guessing.

When Leota Adebayo puts on Peacemaker's helmet and finds Clemson Murn covertly afflicted, tension builds. This discovery changes team chemistry and creates friction.

In the first scene, John Cena's humorous diatribe against John Economos was mostly improvised, making the language feel new. A subtle indication that Emilia Harcourt may be in danger later in the season sets up future episodes.
