Looks like you can remove “children” from the list. Because in his new, post-Suicide Squad life, Peacemaker can’t bring himself to shoot a child. Even if “right now the world needs a son of a bitch.” And while that’s NBD to normal people, this is a real existential crisis for a man with such a gigantic body count.</p><p>We also get to see more of Peacemaker’s unhappy relationship with his mean-as-hell father, his adorably sociopathic enthusiasm for killing people spectacularly, and more of his awesome pet Eagle. And we don’t want to sleep on the combination grenade/missile warhead he flings at a bunch of bad guys. But mainly, he’s going through some pretty emo stuff. Let’s hope he finds a way through it!</p><p><img decoding="async" width="150" height="150" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=)
