History

DC Universe is a video on demand digital streaming service operated by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Digital Networks, released on 15 September 2018 to coincide with Batman Day. Marketed as "a one-stop shop for all things DC Comics",[1] it exclusively streams DC-related entertainment including TV shows, films, and comic books from the DC Comics library.

With the premiere of Titans on October 12, 2018, the service began streaming original exclusive TV shows and comic books based on various DC brands. The service also allows for the resurrection of previously cancelled TV series, starting with the third season of Young Justice.

Beginning in April 2019, DC Universe began gradually expanding to include access to the entire DC comic book library, the exception being comics less than a year old.[2]

Extension to other services

In July 2019, WarnerMedia announced their massive Warner Brothers streaming service HBO Max, which includes DC Universe content such as Doom Patrol, in addition to DC content not included in DC Universe such as Batwoman and the DC Extended Universe.[3] However, DC Universe in itself is not affected by this overlap of content and will still remain available alongside smaller services such as HBO Now and CW Seed.[4]
