Alien: Earth
During a recent press event attended by Comic Book, Alien: Earth actor Babou Ceesay revealed his character is a “ruthless” cyborg.
I don’t even want to give away his backstory… but he’s a cyborg, let’s just say that. When I say cyborg, what do you think? This is interesting. People have been saying odd things to me when I tell them I’m a cyborg. So some people think that he’s all machine when they say ‘cyborg,’ but that’s not it. He’s human and flawed in a human way. Whereas you’ve got people who are synths, who are, I guess, AI brains with synthetic bodies and then you’ve got the hybrids that are both. So he’s a cyborg. The best way I can describe him, he’s like an iPhone 1 in a world of iPhone 20s. But what he does have is an unbelievable clarity in terms of what he wants to do and a determination. He’s ruthless for that reason.
Peacemaker
Finally, during a recent episode of Peacemaker: The Official Podcast (via Comic Book), James Gunn stated every character name dropped in the first season of Peacemaker is likely still canon in the new DCU, barring Bat-Mite.
I will say that everything in the [first season episode Best Friends For Never] is canon except for maybe Bat-Mite. He’s one of my favorite characters, but I can’t say for sure that Bat-Mite is real. He’s a wonderful character from the comics. He’s an Imp from the Fifth Dimension who looks creepy and dresses in a little Batman costume. Except the ears are bent, because it’s a really ill-fitting Batman costume. He’s got skinny little legs [and] a fat little body, and he worships Batman. And so he tries to create these extraordinary circumstances for Batman to prove he’s a hero, and it’s these nightmarish scenarios.
