Fans took to social media to share their dismay about Batgirl being axed, and they also shared fears about what could happen to other films and series under Warner Bros. In regard to the concerns about multiple DCEU projects being scrapped, one fan took to social media to ask if Peacemaker season 2 would be safe and James Gunn responded to the concerns of fans.

Gunn revealed that Peacemaker season 2, which was announced back in February, is completely safe and set to hit HBO Max as planned, despite the Batgirl cancellation. Responding to the fans’ tweet, Gunn wrote, “Yes, guys, calm down.” Later, to further instill that Peacemaker is doing perfectly fine, Gunn shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the set of the show’s second season. The photo Gunn shared depicts one of the show’s actors, Jenniffer Holland, eating a salad with fake blood spread all over her face. It was proving that the show’s next season is coming along smoothly.
Peacemaker is a spinoff series of The Suicide Squad, which was a reimaged version of the original Suicide Squad that didn’t perform as well as the studio expected. However, Gunn’s reimagined version was well received by critics and audiences. It paved the way for actor John Cena to score his own spinoff series for his character Peacemaker, who appeared in The Suicide Squad.
Gunn assuring fans that the hit series Peacemaker will be released has definitely eased some major nerves that have arisen since the Batgirl shock and the cancellations that have come before with a handful of the DC television series like Naomi and Legends of Tomorrow. Warner Bros. has confirmed that other projects like the upcoming The Flash movie starring Ezra Miller will be released in theaters on its set date.
It’s been stated that Warner Bros. has been making these major changes due to the studio wanting to save money and also for the studio to refocus its content on theatrical releases, which will ultimately rake in more revenue than streaming debuts. Nonetheless, these choices to scrap projects have not been making fans very happy, as they trust the studio to bring these comic book stories to life on both the big and small screen.
Peacemaker season 1 is currently available on HBO Max.
