Re: DC Universe streaming service
Only Titans was picked up for a 2nd season among the current crop of DCU originals. And that's currently in production for a Fall premiere.
Doom Patrol is still waiting for news. But, I think WB is probably holding off on renewing it until after Comic Con. I don't see why they wouldn't renew it. It was probably the best reviewed of their originals.

Just watched the 5th episode of Swamp Thing, and it continues to rock. Very much a horror vibe, like the original comic run in the 70s.

Not sure why you wanted to post it in the service thread. Don't you want the actual show to get more attention?

Re: DC Universe streaming service
I've seen other discussions in this thread about content. It may be good to post in both places. For instance I appreciate reading the general comments without going into a thread that may contain spoilers.

And since Swamp Thing has already been canceled, I don’t think it matters whether or not it gets attention now.
FWIW, wife and I enjoyed it, even knowing it was canceled. Didn’t really care for more though.

They wanted to do a 3-season arc until the plug got pulled.

Ah, so is there still a possibility there may be another season? We obviously tuned out after Abby got back to town. Good Omens seems to have our attention right now.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
Has anyone watched the "Shorts" on DCU? I think these might also be on DC's youtube channel?
Anyway, yhey all seem a few years old and also seem to be half done. By that I mean many only have 1 or 2 eps with no conclusion, while others seems to have a few more eps some with no conclusion. It's like the just gave up on them. But they area pretty good.

DC Universe/DC Comics is apparently going to have a big presence at Comic Con.
They're promoting Titans, Young Justice, Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn as well as other DC Properties on TV. Hopefully this also means they will also announce the 2nd season renewal of Doom Patrol. They wouldn't promote it at Comic Con if it was a dead IP like Swamp Thing.

the annoying thing is that these are super short and the app wants to move onto the next one before it's even done.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
Do you mean the DC Nation ones (like Animal Man, Amethyst, Shazam, etc.)? They were a series of shorts that ran on Cartoon Network that were just abandoned after a while, but stuff like Teen Titans Go came out of it (and much later, the newest iteration of Superhero Girls came out of Super Best Friends Forever).

Re: DC Universe streaming service
Can someone explain to me why is DC Universe taking content off their streaming channel? I just saw a report online saying that all the Batman Burton/Schumaker films plus other stuff is going to be off the service this month.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
The Burton/Schumacher Batman movies are currently licensed as free ad-supported streams to Vudu. The Dark Knight and Bartman Begins is currently licensed out to Netflix. I think it's just a way for DC/WB to get extra means of revenue.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
They've been rotating content since the launch. Some movies have stayed on since the launch and others have stayed for 3-4 months.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
I feel the numbers game will change that. Why would AT&T/WB, who's in a cost-cutting measure move, keep supporting and investing on redundant apps that provide the same content as their new, one-stop shop of HBO Max? I still don't understand why there are separate HBO Now/ HBO Go apps, since they basically provide the same service. But again, this is WB, who's famous for doing shit half-assed
HBO Max is only a video app. You shut down DC Universe and where do the comics do? There's thousands of people who became subscribers to DC Universe for the comics alone.
I do agree about HBO Go and HBO Now. It's the exact same app, the only difference is HBO Now is for non-cable subscribers. All they have to do to fix that is add an extra log-in prompt like what Starz does for cable/satellite subscribers to log-in.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
I feel like the comic aspect of DC Universe is just a bonus really. It’s nice to have it but I’d be curious as to how many people who subscribe use that aspect of it. People who really want the comic content can get it from Comixology or other similar apps which have large libraries available for reasonable prices.

There's thousands of people on there for only comics.

Re: DC Universe streaming service
I mean to some I’m sure that’s a factor, but the selling point seems to be the original content. 
My point was mainly that you can get the comic content from other places if DC Universe didn’t exist and folded into the WB service.

Early on the lack of comics content was a joke but they really expanded it.
