Peacemaker Season 2 Explores Nazi-Controlled Earth-X, Sets Up Superman Sequel Crossover

The seventh episode of "Peacemaker" season 2, titled "Like a Keith in the Night," reveals that the alternate universe Earth-X is a Nazi-controlled dystopia, but its version of Auggie Smith, known as Blue Dragon, is surprisingly a sensible and non-racist figure who aims to improve his world despite its dark nature. Auggie disapproves of the corrupt police and Nazi ideology and seeks to send Peacemaker and his team home, but his conciliatory speech is abruptly ended when Vigilante, unaware of Auggie's true nature, stabs him. The episode further explores Judomaster's character, showing him as a more thoughtful and complex individual who bonds with Leota Adebayo and may be poised to join the 11th Street Kids team. Additionally, the episode features a cameo from Sydney Happersen, Lex Luthor's former lackey, who assists A.R.G.U.S. in locating Peacemaker’s dimensional portal, hinting at deeper connections between the "Peacemaker" series and the broader DC Universe, including the upcoming "Man of Tomorrow" Superman sequel. The reappearance of Earth-X versions of familiar characters like detective Larry Fitzgibbon provides unsettling contrasts to their original counterparts, emphasizing the grim reality of this alternate world. Overall, the episode sets the stage for a dramatic season finale with multiple intersecting storylines and character developments.
