Will The Batman Spin-off Series Work as Well as Peacemaker? (MovieWeb)

The movie, set in a different universe than the DCEU, follows Bruce Wayne/Batman as he attempts to solve Riddler's psychotic games and has quickly brought the ...

Peacemaker had the advantage of surprise, and the Penguin/Arkham Asylum series have the advantage of notoriety. That, combined with how well Colin Farrell and Paul Dano did in their roles, equals a ton of hype for two shows that haven't given any clue as to when a release date will occur. Peacemaker's appearance in The Suicide Squad was the first that audiences have ever gotten to see a live-action rendition of the character. While Peacemaker might have had the upper hand in shock factor, the new Batman spin-offs have one advantage over the Suicide spin-off. With how well the movie has done, DC has already ordered two shows from the new Batman universe that will air on HBO Max, following the lead of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad doing a spin-off series for Peacemaker on the same streaming network. Rightly so, The Batman was a movie about Batman, and the three-hour movie reflected it with Bruce Wayne and his dark-alias appearing in nearly every scene.

James Gunn Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Look at Making of ... (Comicbook.com)

James Gunn revealed a behind-the-scenes look at the Peacemaker opening dance number and how it was made. On Twitter, the director shared a photo of what it ...

You'll see as our story gets darker, and deeper, and more sad, that the dance itself kind of becomes more sad and more serious and less funny. "I know people are going to be able to skip over it — I hope they don't — because it plays a different role in every [episode]. It just always tells a different story. There's a woman by the name of Charissa Barton who I hired to do the choreography for us...She did a fantastic job," Gunn began. You're not having fun, just be very, very, very, very serious.' (Laughs) And telling Charissa, 'We gotta make the dance as ridiculous as it could possibly be while they remain completely serious.'… Charissa really helped me to put that together, she was the one that designed it, and she did an amazing job." "That was in the script from the beginning. He told the audience to stick around for the opening as things continued.

James Gunn shares BTS image from 'Peacemaker' opening dance (We Got This Covered)

James Gunn has shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes image from filming on the legendary 'Peacemaker' opening dance.

It’s hard to imagine another track being as much of an earworm as “Do You Wanna Taste it?”, but Gunn does have a knack for revitalizing underrated classics (see his Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks). The writer/director took to Twitter to share a shot of his monitor on the day the opening dance was filmed. These are close runners-up, but the highlight of the whole show has to be its opening credits, which saw the assembled cast dance to Wig Wam’s “Do You Really Wanna Taste it?” The combination of the banger of a theme song and the easily imitable dance moves has made it one of the most iconic TV moments of the year.
