DC Universe is up. It seems bad! Like maybe they should have waited a few more months to launch it anyway.

DC Universe added most of the Batman movies today. For some reason no Rises. It's super weird what's being omitted currently. Like Death of Superman is up, but a bunch of the older animated movies are missing. Mask of the Phantasm and Mystery of the Batwoman are there, but no Sub-Zero. It's kind of baffling.

Also if this thing where it seems like they still expect you to pay for old comics even with a sub is true they can get hosed.

The comic selection right now is crap and if they don’t plan on marvel unlimited levels of back issues I won’t be renewing.

They don't and it's never even been suggested that they are.

They’ve been incredibly vague about the comic poo poo. If the current plan is selling them then why am I paying them every month? The tv and movie selections are also woefully incomplete so surely it’s not that.

That’s.....insanely dumb.

I honestly can't tell who this app is for.

If it's for casual fans then not having stuff like the CW shows and "new" movies (seriously they didn't even put Dark Knight Rises up with the other Batman stuff) is going to make it useless for them.

If it's for hardcore fans then not having a comic library similar to Marvel Unlimited, and missing a ton of older video stuff (no Smallville, no Shazam show, none of the old animated series other than super friends, etc.) makes it useless for them.

It feels like it's trying to serve two different masters and has no purpose or identity because it's failing at both. Honestly they should have made either a really good video service or a really good comic service, not a half rear end thing that does both badly.

In regards to CW poo poo, they have a 5 year contract that started in 2016 that I assume has an exclusivity clause originally intended to make sure Hulu and Amazon Prime wouldn't have that poo poo, but ended up shooting WB in the foot.

I think DC Universe is going to live or die on it's original programing, so, yeah, they're hosed unless Titans is way the gently caress better than it looks.

Shouldn't at least season 1 of Arrow be up then?

I was a big idiot and did the pre-order thing so I'll give them this year to turn poo poo around. But if they really want me to give them money every month to be able to buy comics from them they can gently caress right off and won't ever get another cent from me.

I love Bendis in general but Superman is such a weird fit for him I haven't even bothered reading it yet.

The entire point of the Superman bit in Kill Bill is that Bill is totally wrong, too. So doing it in a comic with Superman himself saying it is double dumb.

Zoe Quinn is the writer though?

Yes. I liked the first issue quite a bit. It's definitely got a bit of the previously mentioned first time writer syndrome with the early exposition dumps, but it was still interesting. I'm excited to see where it goes now that we're into the meat of it.

So Green Arrow is cancelled. While Ben Percy was writing it I think it was consistently the best book from the Rebirth relaunch. Nothing since has been bad but it just got kind of boring when the Bensons were doing it. Lanzing and Kelly have been better so I'm sad to see it go. I imagine it's getting relaunched in a while. Probably as Green Arrow and Black Canary.

Make a new Lantern/Arrow series, you cowards.
