    When it comes to James Gunn and Peter Safran’s 21-month-old DC Studios, something “old” and something new were revealed at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday.

    For one, as seen below, Gunn revealed the logo for his and Safran’s DC Studios — an update of the “bullet” logo designed by Milton Glaser and used at DC from 1977 to 2005.

    “When Peter and I formed DC Studios, we immediately knew what logo we wanted to use,” Gunn explained on social media.

    The “Jim Lee & Friends” panel at San Diego Comic-Con, meanwhile, premiered a first look (above) at Creature Commandos , the adult animated Max series that formally kicks off Gunn and Safran’s new DC Universe. (Gunn’s Superman film, still in production, will be the first movie in their new DCU.)

    Creature Commandos follows a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. “When all else fails… they’re your last, worst option,” reads the synopsis.

    The Commandos voice cast features Steve Agee as Economos (the role he has played in Suicide Squad and Peacemaker ), Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana, Anya Chalotra as Circe, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. (a role he’ll also play in Peacemaker Season 2), Sean Gunn as GI Robot and Weasel, David Harbour ( Stranger Things ) as Frankenstein, Alan Tudyk ( Resident Alien ) as Dr. Phosphorus, Indira Varma ( Game of Thrones ) as The Bride and Suicide Squad ‘s Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.

    Creature Commandos is on track for a December release, while Peacemaker Season 2 is now set to premiere after Superman hits theaters — meaning, after July 11, 2025. Davis’ live-action Waller spinoff series remains in “active development,” Gunn recently confirmed.

    Creature Commandos is written and executive-produced by Gunn; additional EPs include Safran, Dean Lorey ( Harley Quinn ) and Sam Register.
