The following contains spoilers for American Primeval, now streaming on Netlflix.
James Gunn has confused fans about what's being kept for the new Dcu. He said that Creature Commandos Season 1 is where the reboot starts, although certain elements from The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker (both of which he helmed) will be retained. As polarizing as that is, there were bright spots from that era which Zack Snyder kickstarted. One of them is the underrated Captain Boomerang.
Played by Australian actor Jai Courtney, the Dceu's Boomerang was the most unhinged member of the Suicide Squad, surpassing that same energy from the comics and other DC media. Interestingly, Courtney plays a similarly maniacal character in what is arguably Netflix's best Western: American Primeval. In the 2025 series, Courtney's character is a lot more sadistic as a merciless leader.
