The prison dimension is going to involve the ENTIRE DCU. I think we’ll be glad the 11th Street Kids didn’t resolve the whole thing at the beginning of the story. This season of this show had a beautiful resolution.

See I understand why everyone was thinking that they had sex but throughout the entire season, everything was showing that for hardcourt sex is not like a big deal but the fact that she let herself let her guard down to kiss Chris, which is basically showing that she has feelings for him, that is the scariest thing for her to doso I like the fact that it was not just a sex thing that it was even more intimate because even for sex is just sex, but this this is something way more important and way more special.

After years of seeing Big Belly Burger in DC comics, shows, and video games, the biggest surprise reveal of this episode for me was that they serve alcohol there. BEST BURGER JOINT EVER

How does noone understand that James Gunn ended it that way so that people would crave for more Peacemaker crave for a possible Season 3, this is a genius move and all of you couldn’t tell.

Creating CHECKMATE is the something they built to go against Argus.
