Gunn explained, "It’s all because of Peacemaker," emphasizing its importance for setting up the future of DC storytelling. He further justified the early digital release as a reaction to control over scheduling—suggesting that other factors influenced when Superman was made available for VOD.

He initially suggested that Peacemaker was coming out next month, implying that the Superman digital release was timed around that schedule. But Peacemaker Season 2 has been publicly slated for late August for some time, creating suspicion that the timelines may not align as neatly as Gunn suggests.
