HBO MaxPeacemaker is back with a Season 2 that dips into the multiverse, acts as a spiritual sequel to James Gunn’s Suicide Squad, and once again features a hard rocking soundtrack, including a Guns ‘n’ Roses classics during Episode 5.
Christopher Smith returns to TV via a Peacemaker Season 2 that “tells a touching tale which lacks the potentially world-ending stakes of its predecessor, but makes up for that with an emotionally charged story that acts as the DCU’s answer to Sliding Doors.”
That story is spun off from multiple sources, meaning these are the movies and shows to watch in advance of Season 2, including this summer’s Superman.
While much like Season 1, it’s filled with rock music from the past, so the following is a guide to the tunes that plays on the soundtrack…

First up, it’s the all-important opening credits song. Peacemaker Season 1 kicked off with the cast dancing to Wig Wam’s ‘Do You Wanna Taste It.’
