We have our first look at the DCU's new version of Gotham City, and a brief glimpse at Batman – in animation, anyway, thanks to the latest episode of Creature Commandos (consider this your spoiler warning if you're not up to date with this week's episode yet!).
The new series, which is airing weekly on Max, is the first project in James Gunn's DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. It follows a ragtag team of monsters assembled by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) to carry out missions that are too dangerous for humans. The voice cast includes Frank Grillo, Indira Varma, Sean Gunn, Alan Tudyk, David Harbour, and Maria Bakalova, and Gunn wrote all the episodes in season 1.

Originally, we were meant to see a lot more of the Caped Crusader, but Gunn wanted to keep things a little more vague for the time being. "When they first showed the episode to me, there was a lot more Batman," he revealed to Rotten Tomatoes. "And I said, 'I’m not ready to commit to that... more silhouette!'"
The season 1 finale of Creature Commandos arrives on Max on January 9, but there isn't a UK release date for the series just yet. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the other upcoming superhero movies and shows still to come in 2025 and beyond.
