Have they actually added any archived shows to the service? It feels like they've either added original shows or shuffled around movies, but never touched any of the shows. I know some of them like Teen Titans Go and Justice League Action probably have streaming contracts with Hulu, but then shows like The Zeta Project and Beware the Batman are not streaming anywhere.

Yeah, those two specifically are absent. I think we're waiting on Krypton S2 as well.

They're not even on Amazon?

At the moment, I do not have DCUNIVERSE. However, when I did a couple months back, I might've remembered them having Zeta.

You can purchase all those shows digitally on Amazon and other venues (though no S2 of Zeta and Krypto), but I don't think they are included in an Amazon Prime subscription, so that's why I didn't count them. It's been a while since I subscribed there, though.

A month late, but the July additions to DCU were Superman: Unbound, Batman vs. Robin, All-Star Superman, and Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker.

Coming August 21: Apokolips War and leaving August 1: Aquaman (1967).

Feels fitting to have Apokolips War come before the 22nd .

I kinda had a feelign this was coming when "DC universe Original" started to become less and less true .

The Hollywood Reporter has an interview with Jim Lee. He also addresses DC Universe.

What is going to happen to DC Universe?

The original content that is on DCU is migrating to HBO Max. Truthfully, that’s the best platform for that content. The amount of content you get, not just DC , but generally from WarnerMedia, is huge and it’s the best value proposition, if I’m allowed to use that marketing term. We feel that is the place for that.

In regards to the community and experience that DCU created, and all the backlist content, something like 20.000 to 25,000 different titles, and the way it connected with fans 24-7, there is always going to be a need for that. So we’re excited to transform it and we’ll have more news on what that will look like. It’s definitely not going away.

Figures. Sounds like we’ll be seeing the last of the app very soon .

Not the end, perhaps; but at least a major re-branding as more of a comics site.

 

[RoyalRubble]

DC Universe is moving out of scripted original series and will transition into solely a comic book subscription service, DC Universe Infinite, starting on January 21, 2021. The original shows, upcoming series and older titles on the service will be moved to HBO Max.

I think this is probably the safest and smartest thing to do with the service...although I wonder if they'll change the subscription charge ?

 

[the_joker]

Would it be better, at least from a business standpoint, to have DC shows and movies on both HBO Max and DC Universe? I wouldn't think there's any harm in having more options to watch DC stuff especially since both services are owned by WarnerMedia.

 

[the greenman]

They already do, but no it wouldn't. To support niche streamers, they must show up on a constant basis. Most people only showed up sometimes then dropped out. Especially if they binged the content. WB obviously saw the numbers, and that their most popular series would move out eventually.
