Krypton season 2 was just added. I never finished it once SyFy cancelled it.

I guess I'll just wait until this makes it's way to HBO Max.

I wonder about the legality of just keeping it open while people have subscriptions but disallowing any renewals or new subs. Like keep the content as is, but basically put everything on Max anyway (BTAS, Titans, Young Justice, etc.). That would tick me off as a Max subscriber but I wonder if there's any recourse about false advertising in basically keeping a service on life support like that.

I don't think you can just keep it "open" There's licensing fees involved with all the content. When it gets consumed, someone has to get paid. I don't think they can do that for a dead service.

They are more than likely just going to have to segue all that video that can be licensed to HBO Max.

RIP DC Universe. It was fun while it lasted.

I don't mean from the licensing standpoint, I mean from the consumer standpoint. If you have a service and leave it "dormant" without exclusives, is that some sort of breach of contract? Obviously they'll pay the licensing fees, which should be covered by the subscription cost.

I just don't think they can easily convert people over to HBO Max since some of us already get it for "free" with other services. Maybe a refund?

Are the comics staying?

I don’t know how anyone could know that right now.

All DC Universe originals and content will officially be moving to HBO Max according to Jim Lee. DC Universe will be changed to a Comics/Community platform.

Nice

When DCU goes all comics are they going to be lowering the price?

A lot of the shows on DCU were in 4k/HDR so I'm hoping that means 4k sooner rather than later on MAX.

Nobody knows. I mean what's the going monthly price that's reasonable for a digital comics service?

It's not only the 4k, DCU also works on... Roku and Fire TV.

Well, the Roku is the main issue- you can sideload the Android TV app (I know it's too complicated for a lot of people) on the Fire TV and it works fine.

US ComiXology Unlimited is $5.99/mo., but of course it’s not an exact comparison. I don’t know how the number of titles compares, but CU offers a 10% discount on purchases from participating publishers, which I probably use more than the free reading.

Wonder what will happen to the remaining months for those of us on annual subscriptions.

I bet we'll get the equivalent in months on Max.

But I already get Max for free...

I mean they're supposedly still keeping the service around for the comics, if they lower the price I'm sure they'll pro-rate it somehow (or refund).

Already have the MAX add on for DC Universe through the remainder of my annual DCU subscription. So depending on how they prorate the costs it is likely to not be in our favor.

I enjoyed the service for the few months I had it. There just wasn't enough content to justify me keeping it.

The corporation views HBOMAX as a key component of their business going forward. It was nice while it lasted but I never really expected DCU to survive from the start. The media landscape is changing too much and that was before Covid-19 cut severely into revenues.

Just cancelled but still waiting for email verification. I was due to renew in May 2021 so wonder if I will get pro-rated refund? Sad news, but the moment content like Stargirl and Doom Patrol ended up on network TV and HBO Max respectively it was a service I did not use. I never watched Harley Quinn, Titans, Young Justice, etc., or used the comics section so other than Doom Patrol, Stargirl, and an ep or two of Swamp Thing I had watched I was overdue and a bit remiss in having let the service renew in the first place.

Maybe I will miss a bit of T&A when Swamp Things shows up on Network TV and I can finish the show up but I can live with that.

ETA: The ire Gizmo directed towards this service was just plumb strange and I almost want to ask him/her to point out on the doll where DCU hurt him. Anyway, since I get Max for free I still get to enjoy DCU originals so it is all good.

ETA: Hmmm....I may need to hit customer service again to find out if they are going to refund any of the renewal fee as I only kept the service for 3 out of the 12 month renewal period. So far no email confirmation of my cancellation has shown up in my in-box (or junk/spam) folder.

Gizmo is just angry about everything,

Warner Archive has announced Harley Quinn's first two seasons are hitting Blu-ray later this year.

Justice League Dark Apokolips War is up.

Been hoping theyd post it 👍🏿

It is unfortunate that DC Fandome was not streamed via DCU or at least replays after the event.

Not surprising though as they are winding down this service and moving some stuff to HBO Max.
