Peacemaker, real name Christopher Smith, debuted in 1966 as part of the Fightin’ 5 in Charlton Comics, prior to their acquisition by DC. The character would have a brief solo run at Charlton, and subsequent versions of the character have appeared in other DC Comics on a regular basis since then.

Apart from exploring the origins and motivations of the character, as well as functioning as a mirror to the world of superheroes while also exploring real-world issues, little is known about Peacemaker or how the series will fit into the larger DC Extended Universe.

The series’ production appears to be moving well, and Cena himself appears to be very enthusiastic about the project, having already given interviews while dressed as Peacemaker. Fans are hungry for more information on Peacemaker, and the excitement is genuine.
