List of key DC easter eggs in Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 8

Here are some of the major Easter Eggs from Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 8:

  • Big Belly BurgerA notable reference in the finale showed Chris and Emilia eating at Big Belly Burger. In fact, this restaurant is a staple of DC Comics and has appeared in Superman and the Arrowverse.
  • LuthorCorp Employees
    After the previous episode introduced Sydney Happersen, this episode featured other LuthorCorp employees. These included Otis Berg, Amanda McCoy, and Ms. Jessop.
  • Black Hole
    The finale of Peacemaker Season 2 gave a glimpse at a black hole. This black hole resembled the one that nearly tore apart Metropolis in Superman.
  • Planet Salvation
    In the finale of Peacemaker Season 2, ARGUS and LuthorCorp find an uninhabited planet, which they decide to call Planet Salvation. Moreover, they plan to turn it into an inescapable prison world for metahumans. This, in fact, is a direct reference to 2007’s Salvation Run storyline.
  • Arkham Asylum/Belle Reve
    Both Arkham Asylum and Belle Reve are referenced in the finale of the show. They are classic prisons from the DC universe and have appeared in almost all kinds of media before.
  • Secretary of Defense
    Apart from the employees of LuthorCorp, the Secretary of Defense from Superman also makes an appearance in the finale, further entwining the worlds.
  • Checkmate
    Taking a page out of the comics once again, the finale saw the 11th St. Kids building their own agency named Checkmate. They were joined by Agents Bordeaux and Fleury, along with Judomaster, reinforcing the team’s new formation. The comic variation of the group was an independent shadow agency of Task Force X. Interestingly, this version seems to be an agency with much more positive ideals. It clearly sets itself apart in tone and purpose.
  • Foxy Shazam
    Apart from all the comic references, the finale also featured an interesting meta reference. In particular, Foxy Shazam appeared live in the finale, and the band’s ‘Oh Lord’ serves as the title credit for the show.

Season 2 of Peacemaker fits nicely into the larger DC Universe thanks to its many connections. The show also leaves plenty of room for future stories, so fans are hoping to hear about a third season soon.
