The highly anticipated finale of Creature Commandos season 1, directed by James Gunn, wraps up with action-packed sequences and a plethora of Easter eggs, delighting DC fans. The episode not only revisits classic DC lore but also sets the stage for an exciting future within the revamped DC Universe.

The finale showcases Task Force M reassembled in Pokolistan to eliminate Princess Rostovic, while Circe’s dark vision for the future is revealed. Alongside gripping twists and major character deaths, the episode is peppered with nods to iconic DC locations like Star City, Metropolis, and Blüdhaven, connecting it to the broader DC landscape.

Fans were treated to humorous callbacks, including a reference to Weasel’s inability to swim, which hilariously ties back to his near-drowning in The Suicide Squad. The humor continues with The Bride’s witty quips, like calling Doctor Phosphorus “Ghost Rider” due to his flaming skeletal appearance, and labeling Princess Ilana as a “power-mad Disney princess.” These moments provide levity amid the intense action.

The episode introduces new characters, such as She-Bat and King Shark, expanding the team’s roster. The reappearance of G.I. Robot in an upgraded form adds to the intrigue, while a mummy knitting in the background hints at a potential nod to Aten or Khalis II from DC’s archives.

In a jaw-dropping post-credits reveal, Eric Frankenstein is confirmed to have survived his injuries, teasing his return in future installments. This moment underscores the show’s ability to seamlessly blend storytelling with fan service.
