I'm surprised that Stargirl is starting sooner than Harley Quinn since it was green lighted later and JUST found it's lead not too long ago. Guess Animation does take longer.

Ended up watching Superman Quest for Peace last night. I'm still trying to process it haha. You know you're in for a ride when the opening credits looked like they were done on video and blown up to film.
So Krypton is coming to DC Universe in 2019! Unknown if it's leaving SyFy or if it will be on both. This is was a good get and something they need to do. At the very least share these shows with the networks they're on now.

Just started using the service this week and loving it. I'm watching the old Superman serials and then gonna move to the George reeves series.
Hoping they get creative with orginal content. Wouldn't mind them putting the Superman and Blue Beetle radio shows and the Shazam and Batman serials.

Just some topline items that I'm not sure if was covered or not from NYCC
Young Justice is 26 episodes, split into 2 blocks of 13 episodes. Episodes will be released 3 at a time. Which the math doesn't add up, but tell that to them!
The Reign of Supermen and Batman Hush will available for streaming on the service next year. Don't wanna make a leap, but sounded like would release around the same time as retail.
Young Justice will have a tie-in comic, one issue, but sounds like may be more original/exclusive comics coming to the service.

That happened once to me so far. But yesterday was the first time I've experienced the captions showing up even though I have them set to "off".
There's really been nothing since launch
Can you buy comics yet?
Nope, not from what I can see in the app. There is a Shop tab for their exclusive merch though and it literally just redirects you out of the app and into shop.dcuniverse.com on a browser.
Why won't this garbage app work!? Videos play fine on my phone, but I try and cast to my Shield TV it stalls out loading videos. Everything else works just fine.
I updated my Shield yesterday and DC Universe was listed as one of the new apps with the update.
When did Doom Patrol get pushed back? Wasn't it going to be debuting this month at one point?
Still, nice to have dates for everything. It looks like we'll get a pretty steady stream of premieres over the next year. Hopefully Titans S2 will slot in around October as well, so there isn't too long of a wait.
It was never debuting this year... The only real change I noticed was the Harley show moving up from December to October.
Is that available for anyone, or does it require a special promo code?
Well, I bit the bullet for the 3 month deal. Seems to run well enough on Roku FWIW. Streaming quality looks pretty solid for Titans. No noticeable macroblocking and pixelation artifacts in the first dark scene in the big top and none in the rain scene. Those are 2 types of scenes where over-compressed cable signals typically crap the bed. Only stereo audio, but my AVR does Dolby Surround processing well enough. Welp, can't wait to watch all the episodes over the next few days!
Anyone having any issues logging in? Managed to download and login on a few devices last night and this morning, but now it keeps giving me an "unknown error" when I try to sign in and the activation code for the TV apps keeps timing out within seconds.
So I guess we might be seeing flashback JSA stuff mixed in with modern legacy characters (and some of the golden age characters as older mentor figures)?
Is there a way to disable the "play next" overlay when you come near an end of an episode? I assume it's not so bad on regular programming with credits at the end, but for the shorter videos it's such a pain, and I have no idea how to get it off the screen once it comes on.
I guess some general updates
They have added The New Adventures of Batman and Superman (Not to be confused with TNBA which is the second series of Batman TAS) and Green Lantern TAS.
Young Justice Season 3 premieres on Friday.

The WB embargo's continue to not have any consistency. Let's give Harley a tv show, everyone loves her in the movies! Let's pull Deathstroke from the Arrow-verse because he'll have a cameo in Justice League that won't go anywhere!
Yeah content rotation is gonna be a problem for them
They really are gonna have to work on other methods to get content flowing on the service.
What's the reasoning for the rotation, anyway? Licensing costs? Bandwidth? It blows my mind that this is supposed to be the premiere DC streaming service, and they have to rotate movies in and out when there's already not a whole lot of content compared to competing services that are much broader in scope.
I honestly can't tell you
Some of it is clearly tied to arrangement/deals outside of their control, like I think some of the Nolan Batman movies are now back on Netflix for example.
And I guess can make a bigger deal when it's like "Now streaming Superman 2"... again!
I wonder if Disney+ will have a similar model with content rotating out due to different deals.
