DCEU Peacemaker[edit]

@Trailblazer101: Sorry, I know that this season is not set in the DC Extended Universe, but the page Peacemaker (DC Extended Universe) states that Peacemaker is both a DCEU and DCU character (in the lead section and in the infobox). Also, Draft:Waller (TV series) correctly links Amanda Waller (DC Extended Universe). This is also the case of Creature Commandos (TV series), where the Waller and Weasel DCEU pages are linked.

Then those other pages ought to be changed/corrected. I think a similar approach to how J. Jonah Jameson (film character) is for two different versions from different media franchises ought to be implemented in time for those articles, because linking and titling Peacemaker and Waller as DCEU characters and then going into detail on DCU versions of the characters can be misleading.

I say we wait and see. Once there are sources confirming that the DCEU versions of these characters are the ones who will appear in this season, we can follow suit and make the links.

Trailblazer101 I kind of agree that we could rename "Peacemaker (DCEU)" to "Peacemaker (film character)" and I'd say you should petition to rename that page if you feel strongly about it, but for Waller, it's trickier as DCEU/DCU Waller is not the only live-action film version of the character. Angela Bassett played a very different version of Waller in Green Lantern which was a standalone film. WuTang94 (talk) 00:31, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those character articles should not include those characters are definitively going to be in the DCU when that franchise and those projects have yet to be released. This seems like a WP:CRYSTAL issue to me. The articles clearly defined their scope as being for the versions of the characters originated for the DCEU franchise. The DCU is separate and it has been made clear it is a different continuity and franchise with only some overlap. Until we know specifically how that looks for these characters, we should get one thing straight with these articles: Consistency. We state they are the DCEU characters, then that is what they should be the main focus of. The DCU versions do not exist yet, and it is not guaranteed these will be the same versions, or rather just similar yet altered interpretations, or something else entirely. It is far WP:TOOSOON to use the DCU as a defining descriptor for those articles, and that should be changed, rather than pre-emptively altering the articles' scopes to accommodate for something that may not turn out to be as connected from a real-world perspective as some may believe.

We should not state that these DCEU characters are in the DCU when we don't know if that is truly the case. We should mention in these character articles that the actors will reprise their roles as the DCU counterparts of their respective characters, though we should not state the DCEU characters are in the DCU as it hasn't happened yet.
