List of key Easter eggs and DC references in Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 5
Costumed Clown and a Giant Starfish
Rick Flag Sr. refers to The Suicide Squad and Task Force X’s battle in Corto Maltese. He expresses his disappointment that his son did not die on an army mission but with “a bunch of costumed clowns and a giant starfish.” This is a reference to the colorful team, and Starro the Conqueror, a cosmic threat, which was also present during these events.
Rick Flag Jr.’s Funeral
The funeral scene of the decorated Rick Flag Jr. is another reference to the events of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad.
Shaft
Tim Meadows’ Agent Fleury is often called Shaft by Chris Smith. This is because he thinks Fleury resembles the famous fictional detective.
A S— Detail in Evergreen…Project Butterfly
This phrase refers to John Economos and Harcourt’s assigned mission. It is a shoutout to The Suicide Squad’s post-credit scene and Peacemaker Season 1 events.
Sasha Bordeaux’s Cyborg
The latest episode reflected on Sasha’s origins, revealing that she went through a plane crash. ARGUS brought her back to life with various cybernetic upgrades.
Superman’s Kaiju
Peacemaker, his brother, and father battle a Kaiju that looks similar to the giant beast that appeared in James Gunn’s 2025 movie Superman.
A Blink Monk in the Himalayas
Judomaster dislikes the nicknames given by Agent Fleury, so he threatens him and uses this phrase. It subtly alludes to the origins of several superheroes.
Metropolis Incident
Rick Flag Sr. mentions “another Metropolis event,” alluding to Superman and Ultraman’s battle in the city, as well as the rift caused by Lex Luthor’s pocket dimension.
ARGUS Testing
Rick Flag Sr. appears to be reading lab notes, suggesting that he is trying to pursue his own extradimensional access despite ARGUS warnings.
Head/Hat Confusion
Leota Adebayo receives a response from a detective agency, where she is asked about the head/hat scenario. A similar joke was included in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 with Baby Groot.
