Prepare yourself for a TV show-heavy start to December, everyone, because Creature Commandos, the first project in James Gunn’s revived DC Cinematic Universe (DCU), has just added itself into the equation.
That’s right, the adult animated series, which officially kicks off DCU Chapter One seven months before 2025’s Superman movie flies into theaters, finally has a release date. It’ll launch on Max, Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD) super streamer replacement for HBO Max, on Thursday, December 5, but there’s no word on when or where it’ll make its debut in the UK or Australia yet.
Creature Commandos‘ launch date comes by way of a Max press release, which also confirmed it’ll arrive with a one-episode premiere on release day. New entries will air weekly on one of the world’s best streaming services until its finale on January 16, 2025.

For the uninitiated, Creature Commandos is essentially a monster-based take on The Suicide Squad, DC Comics’ famous superpowered anti-hero team that was turned into a live-action movie by Gunn in mid-2021. For what it’s worth, our reviewer called The Suicide Squad an “unashamedly ridiculous antihero adventure, which is as unexpected as it is hilarious”.
