We are already half way through August and still no word on when DCU is launching this year? Lord.

Could be related to Administration (DoJ) filing an appeal against AT&T acquiring Time Warner. Unless everything's settled, they would want to wait before launching the DC streaming service.

Why would that stop them? They are spending loads of money on shows right now and are already taking sign ups.

It's upto the new management to take that call, if AT&T and Time Warner go different ways, they wouldn't want to launch something new.

The preview with Kevin Smith today was cool. A DC Daily show is interesting on the surface, but honestly how much DC is there really to talk about to dedicate an entire show to it? I guess we'll find out. I'm glad to see Tiffany Smith will be the host, she's one of my favorite YouTube genre and content personalities. Loved the YJ footage, but very disappointed that Titans will be released once a week instead of all at once.

Finally !

So I finally preordered and I got an email confirming that I preordered it. So is that it? Do u have to get a code or something?

Do we know if this is just in the US? They’ll be opening themselves up to a horrific amount of piracy if it is.

 

[terry78]

Any chance we'll be getting any of the classic DC Animation on this thing?

In the livestream they said they would have Batman the Animated Series, the Justice League animated series, and the complete seasons of the the Superfriends. (I am not sure about anything else.)

They said it is just for the US for now as they are still figuring it all out for the US before they can move to international markets.

Yeah pretty sure all of the DCAU will be on their along with the movies, Superfriends and brave/bold. Teen Titans probably won't be on there since CN probably retains rights to it as long as they produce the series.

Be nice if they had all the formation stuff on there.

I liked what I saw in the walkthrough yesterday. Other than the content, I liked Smith as host and Barrowman might as well have been a live electrical wire dropped in the middle of a pond. Stoked (and surprised) that he's involved in the daily show.

A proper listing onsite would be helpful, but I'm near certain I saw original recipe Teen Titans in the available at launch promo. I wonder if they'll have the old Shazam (live action and animated) and Plastic Man shows.

Hmmm. I think that’s a massive error in today’s global communications market. If you have a service that you expect to be popular, and take on the likes of Netflix and Amazon, you have to launch worldwide. Otherwise you’re just opening the door to the greasy little pirates out there, and losing a huge amount of revenue.

That's easier said then done. They sell international rights to various networks and the rules are different overseas. They can't just wait for everything to fall in line intentionally. Netflix wasn't built in a day.

Doom Patrol.

Shouldn't they go for a WB streaming service rather than just DC?

I think they're trying to see how much they can separate and get away with it (HBO, DCU)

If one starts failing then just combine it with another to boost it

 

[Karelia]

Well, I pre ordered it. Is there going to be any new shows or anything with the launch of the DC Universe?

Gotta wait a month later. You do get this mailed to you.

Makes sense. Even as a big DC fan I can't see how it will work by itself as people already own the best DC films and I don't think there are enough DC TV shows to justify a monthly fee, unless it's close to zero. Throw in all WB films and shows and then you're on to something.
