The Peacemaker finale is here, and it's brought with it some major DC cameos.
Towards the end of the episode, after the fight against the Butterflies is wrapped up, some significant heroes arrive on the scene to help out.Justice League members Superman, the Flash, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman are revealed – though only Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa have their faces on show, with Superman and Wonder Woman in shadow (so it's highly unlikely Gal Gadot or Henry Cavill were on set).

Peacemaker says they're late, and tells Aquaman to go, uh,have relations with fish – which the Flash says isn't a rumor, but we're going to assume he's just joking around. As Christopher Smith and co. leave the scene, the Justice League (minus Batman and Cyborg) watch them go.
It's a huge moment for the DCEU, and fans have reacted accordingly.
"#Peacemaker finale was fantastic. Great end to a great first season. The show was definitely a massive surprise. This episode had some touching character moments, the shows best and most brutal action, and that Justice League cameo was hilarious. Great stuff!" saidone tweet.
"The Justice League showing up late to the final fight was the perfect way to end this season,"agreed another.
