DC's Creature Commandos Animated Series Premieres December 5

DC is set to debut its animated series Creature Commandos on December 5, which kicks off a new chapter under James Gunn's leadership. The series features a secret team of incarcerated monsters on dangerous missions, showcasing a diverse array of characters including Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein, voiced by notable actors like David Harbour and Indira Varma. Gunn emphasizes that Creature Commandos will offer a distinct tone compared to the more streamlined Marvel Cinematic Universe, allowing for unique storytelling and artistic visions. He draws parallels between this series and his previous works like Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy, highlighting the unconventional essence of its characters. Additionally, the associated comic book series, DC Horror Presents: Creature Commandos, is set to release in October, penned by actor David Dastmalchian, further expanding the narrative universe. This animated series aims to engage fans with its quirky, darker themes, providing a 'nibble' of the new DC universe ahead of a more traditional Superman film next summer.
