'Peacemaker' premiered on HBO Max on Thursday, Jan 13, and DC ardents were lavish in their praise of the '80s themed intro sequence that sees John Cena, the titular character, and the key cast members break into a jig. It was funny, yet intriguing and that was one of the topics trending on social media soon after the series' debut.

The series follows Cena's Chris Smith who teams up with a covert squad to eliminate the threat known as Project Butterfly. While much about the mysterious task is kept under wraps, the three episodes that aired shed light on the people who are actually spliced with animal DNA. This was the storyline in one of the episodes of 'Batman: Beyond'. Coming back to the intro, Twitter shared their thoughts and most of them were impressed. "The intro for #Peacemaker gives me fucking LIFE man. So good," one of the fans wrote.

"The intro to #Peacemaker already makes this show the best of the year," another seconded. "@JamesGunn How quickly did you decide the intro to Peacemaker would be an 80s music video? Also, more Foxy Shazam please," a tweet read. "Broooo okay #Peacemaker is actually so fukkin good! That intro is gonna get people talking for sure. First episode was a 10/10 to me I wish the whole season dropped all at once Off to watch Ep 2! " one of the fans commented.

"I was watching #Peacemaker episode one in class because i didn't wanna wait until i got home. @JamesGunn, that intro is the most "James Gunn" thing you have ever done in your career. Already setting up to be in my top 5 DCEU projects AT LEAST," one of the fans opined. "The #Peacemaker is fucking amazing. The intro was fucking awesome. Great work @JamesGunn @JohnCena. If you haven't watched it go watch it."

"Also #Peacemaker was decent. It gave me kick ass vibes with typical hbo series format. The intro was funny. I forgot theme Intros were a thing. Also mister cena could toss me any day he a beefy boy," one of the fans commented. "And I might actually watch the intro every time because that dance number they do. Kinda funny. Reminds me of the Super Crooks intro, but live. #Peacemaker," a fan said.
