Peacemaker: Bisexual Superhero Climbs to Top of DC Universe with 99% Rating

The latest season of Peacemaker on HBO Max is creating quite a buzz with critics, and for all the right reasons. Even though only the first episode of the second season has aired, reviewers have had the opportunity to watch the first five episodes, and they can’t stop raving about it. With an impressive 99% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 60 critics, Peacemaker has surpassed even legendary projects like The Dark Knight in critical acclaim.

Starring John Cena as the peace-seeking vigilante from DC Comics, the show follows his character, Christopher Smith, as he pursues peace at any cost, even if it means resorting to violence. What adds an extra layer of depth to the series is Smith’s bisexuality, a crucial aspect of his character that is explored meaningfully in the show. In fact, the premiere of the new season showcases a powerful moment where Smith participates in a pansexual orgy, highlighting the multifaceted nature of his character.

And Cena’s character isn’t the only LGBTQ+ representation in the series. Another significant figure, Leota Adebayo, portrayed by Danielle Brooks, is a lesbian crime-fighter who adds to the diverse and inclusive nature of the show. With creator James Gunn’s vision bringing these characters to life, Peacemaker stands out as one of the most queer-positive superhero shows to date, alongside other beloved DC projects like Doom Patrol and Legends of Tomorrow.

While shows like Watchmen, Creature Commandos, and The Penguin boast high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, Peacemaker has managed to outshine them all with its critical reception, marking a major milestone for LGBTQ+ representation in the DC Universe. With its engaging storylines, well-rounded characters, and diverse perspectives, Peacemaker is a must-watch for fans of superhero and LGBTQ+ content alike.

New episodes of Peacemaker drop on HBO Max every Thursday at 9 pm ET, so make sure not to miss out on this groundbreaking series. It’s a win for bisexual defenders of justice everywhere!
