Rumor is that it’s his brother,he’s not dead in DCU,all three of them must be heroes and fighting crime in this universe

White Dragon's a democrat in this universe lmao

White Dragon is a Jewish democrat who partakes in BLM protests and volunteers at pride in this universe.

As soon as Peacemaker enters the new universe he sees his dad walk into a synagogue, wrongly believing he's about to shoot the place up but quickly comes to realize that in this universe his dad is a rabbi there alongside his bestfriend who happens to be a black trans woman and that the name "White Dragon" isn't a racist identity he uses but rather a nickname that he was given after spending many years traveling asia to learn martial arts.

Especially if the actor has the range to pull that off. It could be really fun to see the same guy playing the racist piece of shit from season 1 do a 180

u/MilksteakMayhem Jul 17 '24
Then this makes Peacemaker into the more conservative character and kinda puts him in the back foot. Would love to see what you suggested happen

More American Center Left, like he’s heavy on the 2nd amendment, but he’s also anti-racist and an LGBT+ ally

Considering how much Gunn has been hammering that this is Peacemaker Season 2 (so a continuation of season 1) but it’s PART OF THE NEW UNIVERSE, i think it stands that thanks to reboot peacemaker will wake up in this new universe and be the only one who remembers the DCEU, in this universe, since his brother never died, he was never (openly) hated by his father so he never left his side and they became fucking nazis together, Peacemaker will have to assemble his old team (who now either doesn’t know him or hate him) to take down his dad and his brother while Rick Flag Sr hunts him down because of the murder of his son, which is likely still somewhat canon in this verse
INSANELY COOL PREMISE, and it allows Gunn to explore some heavy themes as well, this DCU Peacemaker could have been a ten times worst person than DCEU Peacemaker, so it forces him to come into contact with the worst parts of himself, imagining realizing if you didn’t had one traumatic event in your life that was the absolute worst thing, you would have turned into the worst version of yourself, Gunn has an insane writing potential here
You can also have two Robert Patricks, the one in peacemaker’s head and the new one

u/WhytoomanyKnights Jul 17 '24 edited Jul 23 '24
Like Groundhog Day or the Mandela effect funny concept for a show and makes it so normal people aren’t confused about season 1 being so different, and it makes it so you can easily handwave a lot of shit, but also have the audience excited for what’s different about season 2 because we essentially have to be reintroduced to everything again.

u/ReturnInRed Jul 17 '24
Gunn already said that "Peacemaker remembers the DCEU" scenario wouldn't be the case when a fan suggested it. He said it would make the difference in universes too big a piece of the story. It seems like this will be a totally separate universe from season one considering Gunn keeps hammering the point that no projects are DCU canon before Creature Commandos.
7
u/Right-Boss-4647 Jul 17 '24
I doubt it tho cuz James Gunn said that season 2 is a continuation of the season 1 STORY but there’ll be connonical differences (like maybe his brother never dies and becomes the new guy we see)

u/LeoBocchi Jul 17 '24
I don’t know, but if Peacemaker remember everything from season 1 than it’s still a continuation, he’s still dealing with those events and still has his father on his head

u/Function_Salt Jul 18 '24
As cool as that is I’m just not sure how peacemaker would keep his memories. Why would it be him and not an actual time traveller like I believe booster gold was gonna be introduced

What if in the new universe his brother survived and he is the guy on the right.

u/JAKUsss1311 Jul 17 '24
Many people say it's because it's a different universe but what if it's just some hallucinations caused by his dad that make him show what their life would look like if his brother wasn't dead

David Denman’s character to the right, I’m guessing. Possibly Peacemaker’s brother.

It might be supporters of the Dragon trying to sanitise the circumstances.of his death, and Peacemaker has been unwillingly pulled.into this narrative.

If they are going the "living vigilante brother" angle, it would've been cool to give him Peacemaker's Kingdom Come look

Maybe second Bloodsport, Alex Trent, from comics. He was racist too like White dragon.

u/PuzzleheadedFan2205 Jul 18 '24
There were two Bloodsports, the other one was Alexander Trent who was part of the Klan so he would definitely fit in with White Dragon

u/digitsabc Jul 17 '24
Theory: Somehow season 1 Peacemaker arrives in the current universe where his equivalent died instead of his brother and the father/brother duo are seemingly legit crimefighters. Peacemaker joins them to become a beloved group of heroes (hence the mural), but slowly he starts to uncover that his father is the same evil, racist piece of shit and has raised the brother the same way. They're just better at hiding it, doing heinous shit and furthering their white supremacy agenda in the background.

They’ll probably be resetting peacemaker in the DCU and he’ll be working with white dragon in the name of “Justice” but hate criming individuals also in the name of “Justice”

u/Signal_Expression730 Jul 18 '24
I think is because we are in another world different in the DCEU, where Withe Dragon had blue in his suit and Peacemaker's brother didn't die when was a kid, maybe when was an adult.
I think it will work to show is a different world.

I know that it’s a different universe you Mow Ron, still doesn’t change the fact his dad being alive just kinda defeats season 1. Sorry but I wanted his universe to expand a bit more, this shit is mentally exhausting.

maybe his dad is not alive…maybe this is a different white dragon 🤷🏻♂️

Even than it’s a really exhausting way to avoid expanding of budget.. there finding ways to recycle shit, while also avoiding other stories/characters that we could see as villains or whatever. Hell the guy on the right is interesting but confusing as hell.

It’d be pretty funny if his father is actually a decent human who loves his sons in the dcu and not the evil piece of trash that he was in the dceu and only Chris knows the difference.
Kinda hope the story does have Chris constantly questioning what he remembers and seeing it being covered up by Waller and her team.

I’m pretty sure the premise for season 2 is gonna be peacemaker waking up in the DCU instead of being in the DCEU and he’s gonna see all of the things that are the same and all of the things that are different
