“Only James Gunn could have conjured this wild band of misfit monsters who tug at your heart and force you to root passionately for them.

From our spectacular first season of Peacemaker to the astonishing run of The Penguin to the record-breaking launch of Creature Commandos, Max has consistently delivered above industry expectations and beyond our wildest imaginings. Thank you, Casey, Sarah, Pia, Sono and the entire team for your tremendous support of DC Studios. We are proud to call Max home.”

We are excited to continue this wild ride with our partners at Max. You want more monsters, you’re getting more monsters!”
