It’s in the DCU. People are only talking about “connections” to The Batman saga because they want Robert Pattinson to be the DCU’s Batman.

Thanks. I was getting confused since he is supposed to be the villain of Part 2.
I am quite concerned that this may cause confusion for the normal movie goers

Part of the 2016 Suicide Squad being canonized wasn't on my bingo card for this episode, but alright. Really good episode, best one so far IMO.
I am a little confused though, didn't the Enchantress die at the end of that movie? I know June lived, but Rick Jr. seems to imply that she still has powers.
I mean I guess they never say (in SS 2016) that she didn't keep her abilities? At least I don't think they say that, I dont wanna watch it again to check. Also it doesn't matter anyway, things could have just happened differently in the DCU.

Pretty sure it’s just that things went differently in the DCU. SS 2016 definitely feels like the lightest of the light canon projects, I can’t imagine that much of it will be canonized.

I think we'd need to know more before that can happen. Right now all we know for sure is that Enchantress exists. If we get more / more explicit references to the events of SS 2016, that's likely when cross scaling could be considered.

Unless her blowing a hole through the planet can be calced, Superman can only really get a ‘likely far higher’ rating at this point. All we have of Enchantress at this point is a single name drop, I don’t think that’s enough to directly scale him above DCEU Enchantress.
- 21,510

Well tbf we should be precise with the wording, he said "burrow a hole through the planet" not "blow a hole". Blowing a hole would imply a more instant boom but burrowing as in dig a hole through the planet has an unknown timeframe

Yeah, fair. Either way, I don’t think it’s calcable without having a timeframe or knowing how big the hole would be, so Superman can only get a ‘likely far higher’ for now.

Yeah agreed thats basically it for now

It’s occurred to me that Suicide Squad (2016) being light canon means someone will have to rewatch that movie in order to properly revise Flag Jr. and Harley’s pages.
My condolences to whoever that ends up being

As a note, while the topic of Enchantress was very briefly brought up in the new Peacemaker: The Official Podcast with James Gunn episode, no substantial statements were made.

One of the YouTube chapters says “Fan Q&A Peacemaker vs. Batman”, but I didn’t hear anything like that while skimming through. Did I just miss it or is the editor of these videos just bugging?

According to Jennifer Holland, there's at least one additional little detail from The Suicide Squad that doesn't fit in the DCU now:
"James and I knew the backstory when we were filming Season 1. We knew the backstory of Harcourt and Rick Flag. James had decided this about Harcourt from the beginning of the Peacemaker TV show. It didn't totally jive with the, you know — we're going to forget about the fact that they were betting on people winning or losing in The Suicide Squad. We're going to forget about that."

So, things from 2016 still exist, but they're not fully canon as Enchantress still exists (Given that June was free of by the end of the movie). Rick was also ride-or-die for June in that movie, but James Gunn's version of Rick is a bit of a playboy (Something shown off a bit in The Suicide Squad)

Idk how to feel about this retcon tbh because wouldn’t Harcourt still know that Flag was sent in with a group that were meant to be ambushed as a distraction anyways?

If they really had their relationship in mind since Season 1, it definitely adds a lot of context as to why she's so standoffish wish Chris at first. Ya know, aside from the obvious. Her calling him a POS murderer in particular makes a lot more sense.
As for The Suicide Squad thing, I don't really think its all that incongruous unless she was betting against Flag surviving (that's what the bet was about, right? Been awhile since I watched the movie).

For me it's:
- Solo Superman film
- Wonder Woman adaptation
- Kyle Rayner-focused Green Lantern reboot
- (Another) Batman reboot
- Captain Marvel

It's nice to be reminded that despite being a total goober socially, he's still a highly competent badass when he's in his element.

Yeah, I think that's why the top trio are "good guys" but I think there will be a twist with the alternative earth people being super racist
