PEACEMAKER: James Gunn Shares First Look At DCU's A.R.G.U.S. Logo; New Poster For THE PENGUIN Released

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has shared a first look at the DCU's "new" A.R.G.U.S. logo but what else is the Peacemaker director teasing? We also have a new poster for The Penguin ahead of its launch...

While the organisation was included in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's marketing campaign, we weren't properly introduced to the DCEU's A.R.G.U.S. until Suicide Squad

Amanda Waller and The Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans/Advanced Research Group United Support later returned in The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, and Peacemaker. While Waller's continued involvement with the government agency is unclear in the new DCU after the latter's first season, James Gunn has just dropped a first look at the logo. 

Honestly, it's pretty much identical to the one used in the DCEU; that was comic-accurate, though we're still a little surprised Gunn hasn't decided to make any changes. Then again, there will be a weird link between both worlds in the sense that characters and actors from the filmmaker's previous projects are being carried over to this rebooted continuity. 

The photo was accompanied by a Merman emoji, so start speculating now about whether that's meant as some sort of Aquaman tease!

What we do know is that Waller has had to resort to assembling the Creature Commandos in place of Task Force X in the DCU and that Gunn is currently shooting an episode of Peacemaker season 2, hence this sneak peek. 

In other DC TV news, HBO and Max have announced today that the "premiere weekend" for The Penguin will begin with the series premiere on Thursday, September 19 at 9pm ET/PT on HBO. 

It will also be available to stream on Max and HBO will re-air the series premiere multiple times over the weekend, including Sunday, September 22 at 9pm ET/PT. Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT will be the debut day and time of all subsequent new episodes of the eight-episode series on HBO and Max, continuing with episode two on Sunday, September 29.

Check out a new poster for The Penguin below.

The Penguin's cast also includes Cristin Milioti (Sofia Falcone), Rhenzy Feliz (Victor Aguilar), Michael Kelly (Johnny Viti), Shohreh Aghdashloo (Nadia Maroni), Deirdre O’Connell (Francis Cobb), Clancy Brown (Salvatore Maroni), James Madio (Milos Grapa), Scott Cohen (Luca Falcone), Michael Zegen (Alberto Falcone), Carmen Ejogo (Eve Karlo), and Theo Rossi (Dr. Julian Rush).

The series is executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, Lauren LeFranc, who writes and serves as showrunner, Craig Zobel, who directs the first three episodes, and Bill Carraro.

Based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, The Penguin is produced by Reeves' 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Reeves and 6th & Idaho are under an overall deal. Daniel Pipski also serves as executive producer.

The Penguin premieres on HBO and Max on September 19.

Barely remember it's design from BvS and forward, even in TSS. And that's probably because it didn't have as much of an active presence in their cinematic universe compared to how much exposure it had weekly and through the years in most of the Arrowverse's shows.

The logo makes me think of, weirdly, other similar symbols of different animationed series though.

@NinnesMBC - yeah…

I honestly completely forgot A.R.G.U.S. was even a thing in those films.

@TheVisionary25 - I didn't even know lmao. They never highlighted enough their presence to make an impact.

The merman emoji is not a reference to Aquaman...if you watched Peacemaker S1, you would know what its referencing. (hint: it's The Vigilante)

TheVisionary25 - 8/15/2024, 1:48 PM
@LlamaLord - yep


There’s a rumor that David Denman’s character is playing Vigilante’s older brother that was a mentioned as a friend of Peacemakers when they were young.

Perhaps he’s a part of A.R.G.U.S. in this?.

The Penguin poster is cool although I don't get why they wanna re-air the premiere over and over.

@NinnesMBC - I guess just in case the audience missed it but if you have streaming which I think tends to be pretty much everyone , you could just catch it at any time

@TheVisionary25 - That makes sense, yes.

@SATW42 - Not much of an HBO viewer except a few things but alright, I can understand.

Cool!!.

As someone who was initially skeptical about this version of the Penguin being given his own show , I have liked the trailers so far hence looking forward to it now…

Also I enjoyed Colin Farrell as “ Oz” in the Batman and he seems just as good if not better here!!.

Still surprised just how much Peacemaker made me like the character, they did a damn good job of redeeming him after Suicide Squad, almost felt like a different character.
