CREATURE COMMANDOS' Penultimate Episode Reveals First Look At Gotham City And The DCU's [SPOILER]

The sixth episode of Creature Commandos arrived on Max today and it featured a first look at both the DCU's take on Gotham and the city's most famous protector. You can take a closer look at them here...

In today's episode of Creature Commandos - you can read our full recap of "Priyatel Skelet" here - we pay a visit to Gotham City and get our first proper look at the DCU's Batman.

With Doctor Phosphorus determined to become Gotham's new Kingpin of Crime, his hopes are dashed when Batman appears above him. We don't see the fight that follows but it's safe to assume that the Dark Knight was responsible for the former scientist ending up in A.R.G.U.S. custody. 

This Batman is pretty bulky and he has both a utility belt and what many fans are convinced is his classic grey and blue costume from the comics. Whether this design is an indication of what Gunn has planned for the DCU's Dark Knight remains to be seen.

However, there's not much of a resemblance between this Batman and Robert Pattinson's version of the character (whatever that's worth). 

Creature Commandos has previously teased several DCU heroes in a glimpse at a possible future, many of whom were wearing the same suits we've seen elsewhere in the DCU (Superman, Hawkgirl, and Peacemaker, for example). 

You can take a closer look at DC Studios' take on Batman and Gotham City below. 

Max has also released a promo for next week's Creature Commandos finale, "A Very Funny Monster."

In that, we see The Bride task Nina with killing the Princess, a clash between Doctor Phosphorus and Weasel, and Amanda Waller seemingly realising that all is not right with the story Circe has fed A.R.G.U.S. about the world being doomed if Ilana lives.

You can watch the sneak peek in the player below. 

You can read our full review here but we concluded by saying, "Delightfully deranged, Creature Commandos is a crazy, captivating, instant classic that puts the new DCU on the map while offering fans an endless list of reasons to return each week. James Gunn has delivered a monstrous must-see."

Creature Commandos tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails...they’re your last, worst option.

The cast features Steve Agee as Economos, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana, Anya Chalotra as Circe, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sean Gunn as GI Robot & Weasel, David Harbour as Frankenstein, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Indira Varma as The Bride, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.

Creature Commandos is written and executive produced by James Gunn. Based on DC characters and produced by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation, additional executive producers include Peter Safran, Dean Lorey, and Sam Register; Rick Morales serves as a supervising producer.

The first four episodes of Creature Commandos are now streaming on Max.

Kidding aside , I don’t know if the glimpses we got of Gotham and Batman in this show are necessarily good indications of how they will all look in live action (hell , Batman did not look anywhere near as bulky imo in Circes vision as he does here)

Personally , I am not sticking to this being set in stone atleast entirely as of yet since I’m sure the director would want to add their touches to that iteration aswell but we’ll see.

@TheVisionary25 - in fairness we know Rick Flagg Sr looks completely different in live action vs animation so yeah I agree, I wouldn't put too much stock in this being much of a reveal for the DCU Batman's live action look either

Over the holidays my older brother and I attempted to watch this show. I fell asleep on episode 2, he passed out on episode 3. We both kept waking up to some obnoxious voice screaming so we turned off the TV and went to bed.

That's the second time I didn't care to finish this show.

@TheVandalore - Wait, so guys think it's bad? Maybe, try watching it in Afternoon or in the morning, tell us what happens then

@THEKENDOMAN - Me and my brother tried to watch it in the afternoon. But all the muscles and violence got us horny, so we turned off the TV and went to bed.

Someone needs to explain these posts to me. So are you saying that what we see here is what we are seeing in the live-action??

When I read the first look at Gotham City and Batman in the DCU, it's such a bold heading and I'm supposed to be excited as Gunn said everything is connected. I don't know, someone help me here or clarify, I'm a bit lost in translation

@THEKENDOMAN - It means, in canon, Mr. Phosphorous Ass was beaten by the bat.

So yes, one of the most powerful characters of this show was Taken down by Batman.

I don't think the representation of Gotham Will Be the same on screen in live action. But Thorne Death Will Be permanent.

That Kind of stuff is the One that is connected.

@AleSir19 - thanks my man

@AleSir19 - That fits into Batman's plot armor nicely. You're the most powerful person around till Batman shows up.
whynot
whynot - 1/2/2025, 12:27 PM
@Arthorious - Rick fish held his own against him so why not have Batman be able to defeat him. We are talking about”Fictional characters” if someone has the training and is the worlds greatest detective it’s not beyond conception
AleSir19
AleSir19 - 1/3/2025, 2:08 AM
@Arthorious - Yes, is really comic accurate. Because Batman is DC true god. In the sense, that anyone who reads or knows at less something about DC, is clear There is just one true god, which plot armor is so thick no one can defeat him...

And that is Batman. Is like part of the magic of the character.

But again, i am clearly expecting them, to do the Best of both worlds, give us the thick Batman, and the more aling Nolan Batman.

Just like Matt Reeves did, The plot armor of Batman in that film is made just right...

Bloody hell. So he even does a brief on what happens in the show(Creature Commandos).

Dear God, I give up, this man will never shut up.

@THEKENDOMAN - he loves himself & the attention 😅

But there's no real issue if that's what his fans want and enjoy 😬

@THEKENDOMAN - why should je shut up, he's just hyping up DCU.
THEKENDOMAN
THEKENDOMAN - 1/2/2025, 9:38 AM
@BraveNewClunge - well said. 😂
THEKENDOMAN
THEKENDOMAN - 1/2/2025, 9:43 AM
@RegularPoochie - DCU needs hype when God and Monsters slate, has approved scripts, directors and actors and started filming. Anything before that is just hot air.
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 1/2/2025, 9:54 AM
@THEKENDOMAN - But this show is part of DCU and Gods and Monsters chapter 1, so I don't see problem.
THEKENDOMAN
THEKENDOMAN - 1/2/2025, 11:13 AM
@RegularPoochie - I said the whole confirmed slate. The show is only a small part of it
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 1/2/2025, 11:26 AM
@THEKENDOMAN - yes, but why he should shut up then? He is hyping it all the time, but there is only CC now going on and Superman coming this year and the others later, those are the two main focuses atm. He just gave us Lobo in Supergirl announcement, he has also talked about Green Lanterns.
THEKENDOMAN
THEKENDOMAN - 1/2/2025, 1:38 PM
@RegularPoochie - Yes, but you haven't mentioned the chaos that is brewing within DC, test screenings are shit, issues with Matt Reeves Batman etc, and all the gossip he is entertaining, that's what I'm on about.
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 1/2/2025, 2:01 PM
@THEKENDOMAN - the test screenings were debunked already? Also Reeves's Batman has nothing to do with DCU, it's not part of it.
THEKENDOMAN
THEKENDOMAN - 1/2/2025, 2:10 PM
@RegularPoochie - Who debuunked them? Is it confirmed that The Batman has nothing to do with the DCU? Because the last article I read, they were thinking of bringing Robert into the DCU
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 1/2/2025, 2:31 PM
@THEKENDOMAN - more reliable source stated that there hasn't been any test screenings and that if there was, it was just for DC itself and not some random people. It was said like a week ago that the Batman and The Penguin are seperated elseworld from DCU.
THEKENDOMAN
THEKENDOMAN - 1/2/2025, 2:58 PM
@RegularPoochie - I'm only talking about Gunn being a chatterbox, no one else matters to me. I want him to just do his job and be less engaging.

I thought Aflec was good enough for what he was given to work with, I'm just tired of the Bulky Batman. I don't want a twig like Pattinson, but happy medium between the two would be cool.

mountainman - 1/2/2025, 8:19 AM
@lazlodaytona - You would think he’d be built like a across between a light heavyweight MMA fighter, a crossfitter and an NFL linebacker. Very well built but not too bulky.

It seems like we may finally get a proper blue and grey costume in live action. Considering how long it's taking Reeves to get The Batman II in front of cameras; I hope the DCU Batman becomes a thing sooner than later.
