Then, in Weekly Watches:

• Peacemaker Season 2 (HBO Max, premiered Aug 21): James Gunn’s follow‑up to The Suicide Squad continues in his newly rebooted DC Universe. Critics say it’s darker, heavier, more emotional than Season 1—with Cena delivering, a tragic multiverse twist, and a brutal arc pitting Peacemaker against version of himself and the man who killed his dad.
• Superman (2025): Gunn’s official Superman reboot (starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult as Lex) skips a traditional origin story and drops us into a hopeful, charismatic world where Superman isn’t a god, he’s a human-hearted hero—complete with Krypto the dog and a screwball romance tone. Grossed over US $600 m globally; critics praise its lightness and earnestness, though some say it’s overstuffed
• Fisk Season 3 (Netflix): Kitty Flanagan returns as Helen Tudor‑Fisk in this quirky Aussie probate-law comedy. Now a partner at Gruber & Fisk, she navigates bonkers estate cases and awkward networking snafus. Fans found it charming, though some say the third season lacks the flawless flow of earlier ones.
