Peacemaker Season 2 Unveils Nazi-Controlled Alternate Earth X

Peacemaker Season 2 features a significant plot twist revealing that the alternate Earth, Earth X, where Christopher Smith relocates, is a world where Nazis won World War II and enforce white supremacist policies globally. This revelation, highlighted in episode 6, was intentionally hidden in plain sight by showrunner James Gunn, with subtle clues like the all-white population and American flags bearing swastikas instead of stars. Christopher Smith's character, due to his narcissistic tendencies and focus on personal treatment, fails to notice these red flags, while other characters like Emilia Harcourt and Leota Adebayo quickly recognize the sinister reality. Gunn emphasized the sensitivity required in portraying this disturbing world, particularly in scenes involving racial hostility. Additionally, while Lex Luthor makes a cameo in the series, James Gunn confirmed that Superman will not appear, although events in Peacemaker will influence the broader DC Universe storyline involving Superman and metahumans. The series continues to explore complex themes of identity and morality within the DC multiverse, maintaining connections with the larger DC Universe projects.
