Creature Commandos Season 1 Air Date Set for 2024 by HBO Max

James Gunn has always excelled at taking the strange and making it accessible. As a part of his and Peter Safran's extensive new DC film and TV slate, Gunn is taking that to a new extreme by starting off with a team that has even deep cut DC lovers scratching their heads. The Creature Commandos were first introduced in Weird War Tales #93 by J.M. DeMatteis, Pat Broderick, John Celardo, Adrienne Roy and Ben Oda. This radical revisioning of a traditional war comic pitted Frankenstein's monster, a werewolf and a vampire against the Nazis in World War II. For Gunn and Safran, it's a delightfully daring B-movie-style choice that will establish a wild new team in the onscreen DC Universe.

The Creature Commandos’ origin is especially interesting as DeMatteis came up with a great twist on why and how the team was created. While it would've been easy to simply say "someone recruited the monsters," we instead get a darkly scientific reason. In an alternate WWII, the U.S. government wants to psychologically horrify their enemies on the battlefield. After much research, they discover the most terrifying archetypes that have long haunted humankind and recreate them. (Source: dc.com)
