DC UNIVERSE Streaming Platform No Longer Offering Yearly Subscriptions

Further evidence suggests that DC Universe's days are numbered, as the streaming platform has now stopped offering a yearly subscription as an option to fans looking to sign up to the HBO Max alternative!

It's been confirmed that the $74.99 per year subscription option for the DC Universe streaming platform is no longer available. Signing up to that saved customers roughly $20 over a twelve-month period, but now only the $7.99 per month choice remains. 

If WarnerMedia is no longer offering a yearly subscription, there's a very strong chance they don't anticipate DC Universe being around a year from now. That's not overly surprising all things considered, and HBO Max may have been the final nail in the streaming platform's proverbial coffin. 

Recently, Doom Patrol was moved to HBO Max, while Stargirl has a new, permanent home on The CW.

That leaves little in the way of exclusive content, and with Zack Snyder's Justice League debuting on WarnerMedia's new streaming platform rather than DC Universe, it's clear which of them the company is pushing as a must-have for willing subscribers out there. 

Titans is now the last show standing for the most part, and while a season 3 is in development, the general feeling seems to be that the end is nigh for DC Universe. In May, it was reported that its time is limited, with a focus being put on the comic book content it offers over film and television.

Just need to find out where Titans and Young Justice will go.
If not HBOMax, then im guessing netflix, Young Justice could also go to adult swim

@Doomsday8888 - well at least it gave us Harley Quinn show (and unlike that deadpool cartoon it actually came out). Also brought back young justice and gave us a few good live action shows that will be continued

@dracula
The content mostly ranged from good-to-great, but it's the way this streaming service was handled that f*cking sucked.

@dracula - Harley Quinn is excellent and is moving to Max in August so hopefully it gets renewed there.

All I'm concerned about is Young Justice (since all the live-action shows (outside of Swamp Thing) are safe) really hoping that finds a new home... I enjoyed the new season that came out on DCU and was looking forward to more episodes.

More evidence its going away: The DC Universe “rewards” website says you must use the points by September 25th. It has also slowly been decreasing the inventory you can buy from it, not restocking or adding products. Surprised this website hasnt used the small amount of evidence on an article yet...

I’m perfectly fine with this service being a comic book only brand. If they do that though they better lower the price. I’m disappointed that Warner Bros didn’t have the confidence to make the DC Brand stronger than what it is because I believe the idea of combine a streaming service with comic book content is a helluva great idea. They botch the roll out and I’m sure ATT didn’t see any real value in the all in one and just wanted to deal with the streaming content side of things. Oh well..

@krayzeman - I’m with ya, it’s definitely disappointing.

Gee,I wonder if it has anything to do with them licensing out all of their “exclusive” content? I had DCU for a minute and quickly realized why it makes no sense.Who would pay $8 a month to see shows that you could see for free elsewhere (Like CW)

Harley and Doom Patrol are [frick]ing magnificent - the others are valiant efforts IMO.

I did the annual DCU thing when it was announced prior to launch so that set me up for the pre-launch deal for HBOMax at $4.99/month

NGL - I fully expected HBOM to be a bullshit swerve and filled with castoff back catalogue bullshit - but I was shocked AF.

HBOMax is [frick]ing legit. [frick]ing. Legit.

Better streaming quality video (use alternative Chromium browser) and REAL [frick]ING MOVIES.

I actually find shit to watch and don't waste 40 minutes staring at a bullshit feed with horseshit UX and lame ass hover over features.

Netflix and HULU are [frick]ED.

NF is so bogged down with foreign filler shit, I can't stand it.

HULU is overflowing with lame [frick]ing OTA TV and duplicate content from NF.

If HBOMax permanently installs the DCU - take my money!!

Disney+ is great - it's got Star Wars/Marvel and Disney proper - worth it for the Mandalorian alone.

Amazon Prime will be just fine - I look at it as the streaming video is a byproduct of membership to same day shipping/etc.

Prediction: HBOMax and Disney+ will rule the Earth but everyone will have AMZ Prime and Bezos will be a multitrillionaire, sneak in the delivery entrance and buy one of the big two for $500B by 2050

@Batmangina - I like your prediction. Netflix is turning into a CW quality dumping ground. Hulu is ok if you like having older network shows but still costly. Peacock is free ATM, VUDU is dumb (but kind of free), HBOM is looking more and more appealing.

@VoiceofReason - I forgot about the entire CW catalogue clogging up Netflix. Jesus.

You get extra points for the Archie Bunker avatar.

Well played, sir.

@Batmangina - Thank you sir. You also get points for a Batman vagina.

@Batmangina - Also, I know so much about the glut of CW because my wife has watched Vampire Diaries probably 3 times through... marriage.
Batmangina
Batmangina - 7/24/2020, 6:21 AM
@VoiceofReason - Hahaha! My second ex-wife was addicted to what I called 'MurderVision' - whatever channels were running nonstop marathons of cold case/horrific/gory/sadistic/twisted shit would be on 24/7.

Jesus - what a dark [frick]ing cloud that hung in the living room - that's almost as bad as the CW! LOL

I now ingest a steady diet of genre flicks and pro wrestling.

Bachelorhood FTW!!

@Batmangina - CW is definitely worse... I don't know how so many people can slog through their comic book shows. I would love to make an edit of each 24 episode show down to a 13 episode season and cut out all the CW mandated garbage.

I don’t want DCU to go, I have a long list of shows I’m getting my wife to catch up on, she’s half way thru BTAS, still have The New Adventures of Batman and Robin, Superman TAS, JL, JLU and the newest seasons of YJ.

Not to mention lots of animated movies. I would gladly pay, to not only keep them all located in one place but include comics too.

AT&T, and WB are garbage

Keep it as a comic book service, goddammit.

Sounds about right. Their cataloge was quite limited for a streaming service. Gotta do better than that if your trying to get more money.

This streaming service/fandom platform has been really enjoyable. I hope and wish that they'll keep it going in some way.
