I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
Not even a little bit.

That Titans trailer straight up looks like a fan film "trailer" with slightly more money than average. Like I am seriously reminded of stuff like the Grayson trailer and various other things like that. Which is not exactly inspiring me to want to get this service.

apparently he actually deleted this tweet because people were taking it too seriously :(

anyway, Titans trailer is just a few degrees removed from being a Zack Snyder's Teen Titans parody video. Add a few more F-bombs, blood spurts, and neck snaps, and lower the production values, and you'd be there.

That trailer is basically the Superman snapping Zod's neck scene on a loop with Crawling by Linkin Park over it.

It really is kind of incredible how dedicated DC is to ignoring the vast wave of people repeatedly saying for several decades "stop making everything pointlessly grim."

Like, I remember thinking "this is getting beyond parody" more than ten years ago.

Most of, if not all of, dcs tv offerings are fairly lighthearted mixed with relationship drama.

Since this is made for their streaming service, they appear to be taking a page out of the marvel Netflix show playbook.

It doesn't look like a good show.

Wait. This isn't on Hulu or something? DC made a streaming service like people are going to pay for it specifically to watch non-CW DC shows?

Yes, I'm sure it will be as well received as your movies. :rolleyes:

Especially with the animated movie coming out. I don't know how they thought having Suicide Squad on Arrow was going to confuse people but not this.

Yeah it reminds me of CBS starting it's own subscription based streaming service.

Barry Convex posted:

I dont know, but I assume it is because the teen titans brand has a strong following already and has a semi-diverse cast (though removing cyborg and replacing him with two white people is dumb) gaining them some extra demos in marketing. Suicide squad was a surprise smash hit for them in the film department, and maybe they want to tap into that in the tv realm to see if itll work. :shrug:

Looks bad to me fwiw.

E: I havent read the teen titans comics, but havent the comics also been in a serious grim tone for large swaths of their runs?

Is this fully confirmed yet, because I saw an explanation a couple of weeks ago that said something more along the lines of getting "a selection of comics each month" I guess as a way to introduce people into more current series. Granted, this seemed to be someone's explanation rather than a press release, so they could have been confused.

Soooo Titans was filmed awhile back long before the backlash to BVS right? That's the only way I can explain that tone of that trailer and even then it doesn't make sense.

DC released a little more information about the service today. $7.99/month isn't terrible?

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.

That's funny because I just got an email where they were trying to entice me to sign up for an entire year at like $73 and I would be entered to win two tickets to the premiere of Aquaman! Oooooo

I mean, that's the cheaper option than monthly, but give me some better incentives.

7.99 is similarly priced to Hulu and Crunchyroll and both of those have way more content. The comics library would make it worth if we had more evidence that it was most of their catalog. That articles says "hundreds" of comics. There have been "hundreds" of issues of Batman alone.

The Verge article I posted in the DC thread says 2,000 to 3,000 "titles," but we know DC Universe has a merchandise store attached to it.
