James Gunn Explains Why the ‘Creature Commandos’ Episode About Weasel Is ‘the Saddest Thing I’ve Ever Written’

Spoiler Warning: This story includes major plot details from Season 1, Episode 4 of “Creature Commandos,” currently streaming on Max.
When James Gunn first introduced Weasel in the 2021 feature film “The Suicide Squad,” he knew that the DC Comics character — either an animalistic human or a human-like animal, depending on your point of view — had not actually killed 27 children, contrary to the indictment that landed Weasel in Belle Reve prison.
“I didn’t know the specifics of it, but I always knew that it wasn’t fair,” Gunn says.
It wasn’t until Gunn brought Weasel back for the animated DC series “Creature Commandos” that he finally got to sort out the details of how this gentle beast was unjustly branded a child killer. As the titular squad works through their mission involving Princess Ilana Rostovic (Maria Bakalova), each episode of the series, all of them written by Gunn, examines one of their backstories.
