DC Universe
DC has announced they are creating their own streaming service.
https://www.dccomics.com/dcuniverse Already announced a Swamp Thing live action show by James Wan, the live action Titans show, animated Harley Quinn show, and an animated Young Justice. |

Also a "Metropolis" show about Lex Luthor.
I don't know if I see this doing too well. There are already so many comic book TV shows out there, not sure I want to pay a subscription to watch even more. Only way I see this being successful is if they also include a "Marvel Unlimited" type thing where subscribing to DC Universe also gets you access to a large archive of digital comics to read. |

Prey interested in the Swamp Thing series. Not sure about Titans though.

Titans seems like it is probably gonna turn out like that Birds of Prey show.
This is just a set photo, but I have no idea how lighting/post-production is supposed to make this "Starfire" look any better: (Also pictured Beast Boy and Raven) Last edited by Lock Jaw; 05-03-2018 at 02:34 PM. |

Starfire is black? Beast Boy and Raven don't look bad. Alot of hair coloring on that set it looks like.

Starfire looks terrible. And I tend to be lenient on set photos.

Starfire looks like she's waiting for a car to pull over so she can give "daddy" his money.

Starfire also having curly hair is weird. The actress looks alot better with strait hair I think which would tie into Starfire better.

Just read that the "Metropolis" series is going back to "redevelopment".
The original premise was: "Set in the gleaming City of Tomorrow before the arrival of Superman, Metropolis focuses on Lois Lane and Lex Luthor as they investigate “fringe science,” and expose the city’s dark secrets." Dunno if redevelopment means that will change...... |

Powers was a damn good comic book, though.
Whoever decided to cast Sharlto Copley in that show is a lunatic. |

Different show, Powerless was a show on NBC set in the DC universe with regular people. Occasionally would have a D list hero make a short appearance. I don't even think they finished season 1 before they pulled it.

Is this going to be a part of the DCU or Arrowverse? I assume Arrowverse.

Ok, I don't know how many universes does DC Comics have. Marvel has a fuckload.

Honestly DC does a shit job when trying to connect everything. I think they'd be better off just having things in their own universes. Marvel hasn't even done that well with having TV and movies connected so they're better off not trying it. |

In other news, the Teen Titans Go! movie continues to look better than anything else they've got coming.

I've been watching random Teen Titans GO! clips on YouTube as of late, and it seems like it actually is a pretty entertaining show. If I were still a kid, I could see myself totally watching it after school on the regular.

A Doom Patrol series has been announced for this as well, that seems like it will share continuity with the Titans series at least.
Also an Alfred Pennyworth show has been announced for some cable network I've never heard of before. |

Ah, ok. They announced that they are looking for a late August launch.
Also said that there will be an extensive collection of digital comics available via the service. So I may now give it some thought! |

Death of Superman was pretty good. Probably could have stood to be a touch longer to help develop some storylines a bit more bit really well done. Superman is the way superman should be as well. Ready for the sequel.

Price of the service announced at $7.99 a month, or $74.99 for an annual subscription. It seems like the digital comics won't be really extensive, but just be a few titles that change quarterly, so you can't really read it at your leisure. |

Visually it looks bad. Same dark saturation that the DC films suffer from. Lighting is awful. I dunno. I like the tone of the writing though.

The trailer for the Titans series was bad.
Looks ultra low budget and ultra grimdark. Disappointing. |

Call me old fashioned but under no circumstance should Robin say fuck let alone "fuck Batman". Keep the post-Dynamic Duo angst, sure, but what the hell kind of stunt writing is that? I predict it'll be removed or changed when it launches. In general Teen Titans are not the characters I'd do this with.

Grant Morrison to write Green Lantern starting in November. I think this sounds good.

I like DC's new, more grounded initiative they seem to be taking. Getting back to characters, conflict and relationships.
Tom King doing that in Batman r/n Brian Bendis doing that in Superman r/n Grant Morrison going to be doing that in Green Lantern soon |
