Peacemaker Season 2 Soundtrack Revealed: Every Song In The DC Series
John Cena blasts back into the DC Universe as Peacemaker — locked, loaded, and backed by a killer new soundtrack.
Peacemaker season 2 is barreling toward the finish line. Two episodes left, and then it is goodbye (again) to Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker (John Cena), and the 11th Street Kids. Hopefully not for as long a break this time.
The new run has been hitting with fans, which is another win for James Gunn’s just-getting-going DC Universe. That rollout kicked off with the animated Creature Commandos and the summer blockbuster Superman. And if season 2 is any indication, some pieces of the older DC films are still in play: there are nods to Gunn’s own The Suicide Squad from 2021 and, yes, even David Ayer’s much-maligned 2016 Suicide Squad. One thing that is very much not in play anymore: the Justice League cameo from season 1. It has been swapped out for a Justice Gang appearance instead, featuring Nathan Fillion’s Green Lantern and Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl. That is a very inside-baseball continuity tweak, and it is a pretty loud signal about where Gunn wants this timeline pointed.
The music: peak Gunn
Gunn’s superpower outside of character chaos is needle-drops, and Peacemaker season 2 stays on brand. The cold open once again kicks off with a dance number, this time to Foxy Shazam’s barnstormer 'Oh Lord' from the band’s 2010 self-titled album. Season 1 had its own dance routine too, set to Wig Wam’s 'Do Ya Wanna Taste It'. Gunn’s logic for the new pick is simple and very Gunn:
'I think that in the same way 'Do Ya Wanna Taste It' really captured the flavour, both the light and the dark sides of season 1, the same is true of 'Oh Lord'.'
If you have watched Gunn’s stuff, you know the drill: the Guardians 'Awesome Mixes', and more recently the Teddybears and Iggy Pop track 'Punkrocker' popping off in this summer’s Superman. Peacemaker season 2 keeps that streak going.
