James Gunn had pitched “CREATURE COMMANDOS” before taking over DC
It follows a group of military superhumans consisting of a human leader, a werewolf, a vampire, Frankenstein’s monster, and a gorgon. Gunn himself greenlit the project when he became CEO of DC Studios. Series writer and creator James Gunn appears in the opening credits with a laptop writing the script. .

Featured in AniMat Crazy Cartoon: The Return of the King (of the Hill) (2023). What an entrance to the new regime at D.C. Studios. This advance payment & introduction to the new DC universe is promising & a welcome sight.
But Creature Commandos is a return to form for quality animation
The story makes you care about the characters & the animation is on point. Speaking of animation, the new "Tomorrow’s Poem&" animation looked very cheap & flat, no life in cartoon style or stories. DC AU with big stories like: “Under the Red Hood”, “Justice League: Dark”; & "Superman: Judgment Day" set the standard for quality comic book animation. I collected all the cartoons from the time & I had no interest in Tomorrow’s verse because I was writing lazy & lazy cartoon art.
The art style is fun & bright & well drawn
I care about the characters now & the story is interesting. James Gunn is starting this universe straight & which makes his upcoming projects highly anticipated. The new Superman movie is definitely on my must watch list. Back to the show, it only has 2 episodes, but the wait & connection with the characters is there..
