Background: DC after Superman
After the events of "The Suicide Squad" (2021) and the series "Peacemaker" (2022), the character Peacemaker has become a symbol of a "reluctant hero" type - someone who is willing to do anything to achieve "peace", including violence. While Superman was once a symbol of hope and absolute morality, his absence leaves a huge void in the world of DC superheroes.

Different perspective: Peacemaker represents a pragmatic, dark and deeply conflicted perspective - the complete opposite of Superman. Thanks to that, he can bring a new breeze to DC, especially in the context that James Gunn (creator of the Peacemaker series and co-head of DC Studios) is rebuilding this cinematic universe in a multi-dimensional, humorous but also profound direction.
Continuing new values: In the upcoming part 2 (confirmed), Peacemaker can become a bridge between the old world and the new DC universe. He is not only a witness but also has the ability to influence the new order formed after Superman.
Can Peacemaker become the "guide" for the new DC?
With a special appeal and the ability to balance humor, violence and introspection, Peacemaker can be a character representing a "closer and more human" DC, no longer as supernatural as before.

Under the hands of James Gunn - who has succeeded with Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad - Peacemaker is expected to play a big role in "DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters" (the new phase of DC Studios).
Peacemaker is not Superman. But because he is not, he can be an important figure in the journey to reshape DC – a superhero world that is no longer perfect, but full of emotions and conflicts. And that is what can make DC touch the hearts of many new generations of audiences.
