Indeed, the Bride of Frankenstein has generally gotten short shrift whenever she’s shown up over the years – which hasn’t been often. But James Gunn’s new DCU series Creature Commandos, which features the Bride as one of its titular monster heroes, finally gives Dr. Frankenstein’s second creation the first-place status that she’s always deserved.

James Gunn ’s Creature Commandos, the wildest version of the Suicide Squad to hit the screen yet, isn’t Dean Lorey’s first trip to the DC Comics adaptation rodeo. The showrunner cut his teeth as a producer on Powerless, a writer on iZombie, and most recently as showrunner on Kite Man: Hell Yeah!

But how old is The Bride, exactly? The Bride’s age can be calculated based on the DCU’s established timeline. According to Rick Flag Sr. (voiced by Frank Grillo), his son died about two years before the Creature Commandos ’ events.

Episode 2 opens in 1831, with Victor Frankenstein looking at all sorts of body parts frozen ice. “Shall each man find a wife for his bosom and each beast have his mate and I be alone? I yearn for a wife, father… what is it to be a human, if not for love?” Eric asks him.

Creature Commandos features a truly explosive soundtrack, declaring immediately that James Gunn will push the DCU into new exciting directions.
