This looks like a fun little romp. I tend to give James Gunn stuff the benefit of doubt. The last DC animated universe did a short similar to this not too long ago. I'm not a huge fan of animated stuff, but I'm sure that I'll watch this once it hits Max. I wouldn't mind McFarlane doing a wave of these characters in the DC Multiverse line as long as he doesn't go overboard on the animated styling.
This second trailer looks very promising. I'm hoping of a toned down Harley series with lots of violence. That'll do the job.
At the Creature Commandos panel during New York Comic Con 2024, DC Studios presented the second full trailer for the series, which is set to premiere on December 5th. The series is both written and executive produced by James Gunn.
The seven-episode Max Original adult animated series CREATURE COMMANDOS, written and executive produced by James Gunn, debuts THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5 on Max followed by one episode weekly until January 16.
CREATURE COMMANDOS tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails... they're your last, worst option.
Steve Agee as Economos, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana, Anya Chalotra as Circe, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sean Gunn as GI Robot & Weasel, David Harbour as Frankenstein, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Indira Varma as The Bride, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.
Credits: CREATURE COMMANDOS is written and executive produced by James Gunn. Based on DC characters and produced by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation; additional executive producers include Peter Safran, Dean Lorey, and Sam Register; Rick Morales serves as a supervising producer.

Actually its A Shame some like the New Death of Superman saga films, Under the Red Hood, & Batman Dark Knight Returns; didn't have more studio support ($$$) & national theatre releases. They're far better & more competent then the TRY HARD oversaturated Into the Spider verse movies. Anyhow,, I find it hard to believe James Gunn's DCCU vision, aninitial early 'menu plans' were refrencing animated filmsmixed in w/ regular movies... WEIRD huh!
Definitely have enjoyed most of the DC animated movies of the last ten ish years too. Haven't got a chance to see the most recent stuff except Superman Man of Tomorrow .
There was a sneak peek of this show at the Harley Quinn and Kiteman: Hell Yeah! panel, too. I'm pretty excited for it.
