James Gunn came up with the idea for CREATURE COMMANDOS before he took over DC
Plot
It follows a group of military superheroes consisting of a human leader, a werewolf, a vampire, a Frankenstein’s monster, and a gorgon. Gunn himself gave the green light to the project when he became CEO of DC Studios. Series creator and writer James Gunn appears in the opening credits with a laptop, writing the script.

. He appeared in the cast of AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: The Return of the King (Over the Hill) (2023). After watching three episodes, I can tell you it’s a lot of fun — the soundtrack is fantastic, perfectly capturing the mood of each scene, the dialogue is witty and engaging, and the characters feel distinct and well-written.
The plot, while not groundbreaking, is suspenseful
The quality of the animation is excellent, the vivid imagery and fluid movement bring the story to life. However, the unnecessary sex and gore feel over the top and detract from the overall experience. I don’t know if this might appeal to some viewers, but it doesn’t add any value to the story.
So far, so good
Regardless, it’s an incredibly fun show with fast-paced action, likeable characters, and plenty of exciting moments that keep me on the edge of my seat. For now, I’d give it an 8/10 because it’s close to perfect, but it’s held back by unnecessary elements. If the show continues to focus on its strengths—a great story, visuals, and characters—it could easily become my favorite DC animated series.
