Best part. I literally cried laughing in the theater. Peacekeeper: "I've got a clear shot on the only one in the building." Shows a housekeeper with virtually no threat xD John Cena found his character.

That Peacemaker helmet would be great for covering up male pattern baldness.

[Drifter]

John Cena actually did a great job in the role. Enjoyed his rivalry with Bloodsport in the film.

[warmcnugget]

Fun fact: the Peacemaker TV show is James Gunn’s quarantine baby. He wrote it while the world was in quarantine and he needed something to keep him occupied

[joshuamelton]

Peacemaker served as the template for the Comedian in Alan Moore's Watchmen

[a-bomb]

Peacemaker: I love peace so much I'm willing to kill for it.
Me: I think you're confusing peace with quiet.

[demurevilleneuvewinslet]

I like that the C-List characters get some spotlight.

[mattcalloway]

Essentially he is what would happened if DC made a character with the Patriotism of Captain America with the gore, extremist nature and skills of the Punisher.

I really like how the movie was 100% accurate with making his costume look like the original comic, like some could call it silly I’d say its distinct and bold if you ask me

[QGarrison]

One of the rare occasions where the live action version is the more muscular.

[gerrysong]

“I cherish peace with all my heart. I don’t care how many men, women, and children i need to kill to get it”

[nofacedgoldfish]

Obviously John would wear the helmet everytime he goes to promote the movie. Without a helmet, we wouldn't know where his invisible face is.

[godson]

I honestly love how they didn’t touch his costume that much keeping him the true original

[aminhaekal]

_"Peacemaker...what a joke."_

[jnrincorperated]

The fact gunn gave peacemaker a desert eagle with a massive barrel I think fits the character very well

[stevencisneros]

Peacemaker is gonna do huge things for his future, he’s gonna be one of the absolute coolest (and probably one of the best) anti-heroes in DC history!!!

[bigbuddahboy]

Peacemaker taking a page outta “The Chosen one” Anakin Skywalker’s book, he didn’t only kill the men, but the women and children too.

[abdullahmohamed]

Ultron once said : "everyone creates the things they dread, men of peace create engines of war"
Let's pause for a minute that's peacemaker in a nutshell

[comicsense]

I fucking love peacemaker I've been reading everything on him and John Cena is perfect as him

[diegoguzman]

When Amanda Waller introduced Peace Maker to Bloodsport I started laughing because of their similar background and how Bloodsport brought it up thinking Waller was insulting(Making fun) him.
