The premiere of Peacemaker season 2 retconned the primary season’s finale to raised match the brand new DCU, swapping out the Justice League for the Justice Gang seen in James Gunn’s Superman. Nevertheless, one hero’s inclusion now makes much more sense following the discharge of Supergirl’s first trailer.
With Supergirl’s first trailer lastly launched, we’re now understanding extra about Kara Zor-El and her standing as Earth’s different resident Kryptonian. As such, the Justice Gang retcon in Peacemaker season 2 has now grow to be clearer as nicely thanks to at least one key reveal.
Peacemaker Season 2 Swapped The Justice League For The Justice Gang (Together with Supergirl)
In Peacemaker season 2’s recap of the present’s first season, the cameos from the earlier DCEU’s Justice League had been erased. Initially that includes Superman, Surprise Girl, Aquaman, and The Flash from Zack Snyder’s universe, these heroes had been changed by the DCU’s Justice Gang (Man Gardner’s Inexperienced Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific).
Arriving too late to assist Peacemaker, the Justice Gang was additionally joined by David Corenswet’s Superman and the stunning inclusion of Kara Zor-El, Supergirl’s second cameo look within the DCU forward of her 2026 film.
That mentioned, Supergirl’s presence alongside Superman within the Peacemaker season 2 retcon did elevate some eyebrows, as her first cameo on the finish of Superman implied she wasn’t precisely a protector of Earth like her cousin.
In any case, Kara reveals up drunk on the finish of Superman to choose up Krypto, with Superman himself confirming she spends a lot of her time partying on alien worlds with purple suns, one thing Supergirl’s new trailer very a lot confirms. With that in thoughts, Kara’s inclusion in a Justice League-style lineup felt to some prefer it was untimely.
Nevertheless, the brand new trailer for 2026’s Supergirl has offered new particulars about Kara Zor-El, clarifying her superhero standing within the DCU forward of the brand new film.
Supergirl’s New Trailer Confirms Her Official Hero Standing on Earth
The primary trailer for Supergirl instantly clarifies Kara’s present position within the DCU. Whereas it confirms she does spend most of her time escaping to red-sun worlds to social gathering, it additionally establishes that she has been working as a hero on Earth, albeit to a a lot lesser diploma in comparison with her way more common cousin.
A fast newspaper headline seen on the very starting of the trailer reveals Kara has certainly saved lives (rescuing cats). It’s a delicate however essential element, confirming that whereas she isn’t absolutely absent from superheroics altogether, she’s undoubtedly overshadowed by Superman (who acquired the a lot larger entrance web page headline, mirroring the comics completely).
With this newly revealed context, Kara’s look in Peacemaker’s Justice Gang retcon makes extra sense. Kara is already acknowledged as a hero within the DCU, although apparently not fairly to the identical diploma because the Man of Metal. As such, it is going to be fascinating to see when, if, and the way Kara Zor-El would possibly embrace her superhero position extra absolutely in her upcoming DCU film.
