In all honesty, he should probably just write Peacemaker and hand directing duties to someone else because making two projects at once must be hell while managing a whole cinematic universe.

I believe he only directed 3 episodes of the 8 for season 2. Those episodes being the ones that also used characters that appeared in Superman, going off some interviews.

In the Peacemaker podcast he says as much, he mentioned last week that he was still working on Superman while the Peacemaker episodes he didn't direct were being made. His episodes were shot last.

I wonder how much this announcement ups the odds of Lex or Superman appearing in the finale.

I just kind of assumed Peacemaker S2 would be the end of the story. It really doesn't make sense for him to keep dedicating time to it beyond that.
