I feel like they might be jumping the gun a bit on this, but otherwise...why not ?

That and they're going to be recurring characters in the upcoming Titans TV show.

Heck, it's my 700th post.

Big DC Universe news coming tomorrow.


Look closely at the background...

 

[Harlequinn]

Wonder Woman rebirth is there. So, it can be assumed comics will be included along with the film and tv backlog

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

It’s definitely ‘Batman Returns’... really excited for the announcement, hopefully with pricing details included.

Saw that too, but how many/which comics is now the question. I'm hoping it's a DC version of Marvel Unlimited, with almost all of the back catalog, minus current issues.

This'll save me a little on Comixology which is $6 per month. With a backlog of films and television, it'll be tremendous in savings.

They released a teaser.

 

[James Harvey]

The World's Finest has the press release for DC Universe, which includes a few other details concerning the service. Click here for the details!

 

[the greenman]

The fact they have films, tv, and comics all coupled with new content is enough. However, pricing is important at this point

6/27: An announcement is coming tomorrow, June 28th, for the DCU Streaming Service.

6/28: DC Universe Streaming Service press release. Beta testing in August.

 

[Spider-Man]

I'm disappointed this is going to be U.S.-only, at least at the start. I understand there are likely rights issues involved but it still seems unfair to fans outside of the U.S.

I'm still looking forward to learning more and it's cool to hear that the Wonder Woman series will be an HD remaster which hopefully means a Blu-ray release.

Via Comic Book Resources, here's a look at the Comic-Con bag for the DC Universe streaming service.

 

[Yojimbo]

Pre-register to streamline access to a fan experience at the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter across from Comic Con, filled with installations. Thursday – Saturday hours: 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM (line closes at 6:00 PM) and Sunday hours: 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM (line closes at 4:00 PM). In terms of the animated titles

• Explore Dick Grayson’s Titans loft and uncover clues to his whereabouts
  
• Experience the mysterious creations of Dr. Niles Caulder in the Doom Patrol lab
  
• Avoid succumbing to the deadly virus in the mystical swamps of Swamp Thing

July 19th:
Via the Hollywood Reporter, the Service will launch this Fall, and they announced the price.

Coinciding with the launch of the DC Universe Experience, a pop-up attraction at the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, DC and Warner Bros. announced that pre-orders for DC Universe have opened at DCUniverse.com for an annual fee of $74.99 (plus tax, in applicable areas), with a monthly subscription of $7.99 also available at launch. All fans who pre-order before launch will receive an additional three months at no cost.

July 22nd:
I found a video with Jim Lee talking about the original live-action shows that will be on DC Universe. This must have been before Stargirl was announced.

EDIT:
IGN also has an interview with Geoff Johns from Comic-Con. He talks a little about the live-action shows between approximately the 0:42 - 3:34 minutes marks.

 

[Yojimbo]

8/22: Kevin Smith will host a news show called DC Daily and it debuts August 29 at 4:30 pm PST. It can be seen on DC's Facebook, Youtube, and Twitch accounts.

8/29: Reported to launch September 15.

 

[James Harvey]

At Fan Expo Toronto, Dan Didio stated the app is set to launch in Canada in the near future. It is currently in beta. Ideally this means other worldwide locations will follow.

 

[RoyalRubble]

There will be a panel for DC Universe at New York Comic-Con.
