Numerous original programs based on DC Comics characters are currently in development for the service. The first will be the live-action "Titans" series, featuring the likes of Robin, Starfire, and Beast Boy. It debuts later this year. In 2019, live-action shows "Swamp Thing" and "Doom Patrol" will premiere, along with animated programs like adult comedy "Harley Quinn" and the third season of "Young Justice," rebranded as "Young Justice: Outsiders." "Young Justice" originally aired on Cartoon Network but was canceled in 2013.

In addition to original programs, the service will also offer other DC movies and shows, including the first two seasons of "Batman: The Animated Series," the entire 1970s "Wonder Woman" TV show starring Lynda Carter, "The Dark Knight," and all four of the original "Superman" movies starring Christopher Reeve.

But it wouldn't be a DC service without comics. The service will feature a library of thousands of digital DC comic books from a selection that spans decades - even the first appearances of Superman and Batman in the 1930s. Comics can be read on smartphones, tablets, or TV screens, and will be available to download for offline reading.

While we don't have an exact date the site will launch or how much it will cost to sign up, it sounds like the perfect platform for diehard DC fans.

DC Universe will be available at launch on iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, and the website.
