While stated prior to the show's release, the canonicity of The Peacemaker (excluding the Zack Snyder's Justice League cameo) is reinforced through references by John Economos, Amanda Waller's associate, who appears in the series. Peacemaker himself also makes a cameo. The Suicide Squad's canon status is established in the first episode.

The series subtly integrates established locations: Cerci hails from Themyscira (Wonder Woman's home); Dr. Phosphorus operated in Gotham; the Galaxy Broadcasting System (GBS) – a Metropolis news organization – is referenced; and Bloodhaven (Nightwing's base) and Star City (Green Arrow's city) are mentioned. A character's connection to Bialia, home of the Scarab and Queen Bee, further expands the interconnectedness.
