What if they waited to see how the reception to the movie is first?

Typical DC/Warner Bros. Why wait around to see what works. Let's just go all in with our own vision and messageand just understand that it will all work out just fine. Said the fans of the WB DCEU line-up (except Arrow) and Whedon'sJustice League.

So now they want to build a Batman universe? OK, seems a bit premature but hey whatever works for them. Also are they replacing the DC streaming service with HBO Max?

I assumed Gothamseries was the Batman Universe?...I hope they do Dark Nights: Metal, something new for the tv screen...It will beinteresting to see "Batman who laughs" come to life

this was instantly my thought, really why jump the gun, I have my sight beyond sight kicking in saying.... some basura stuff is going to go down if they just start trudging through uncharted waters so quickly... but maybe I'd be wrong... it's hard for me to hold hope, DC just want to try to stay on screen relevant so badly that it's looking desperate, the product takes a loss, the over saturation makes everything uneventful, nothing ties together even when it trys , too many cooks in the kitchen with different visions

calm down DC... the movie might be trash, stop cooking peoples meals before they order the food

That's an interesting idea, I could see that working.

If they're smart, that's what they'll do. But this is Warner Brother's we're talking about...

I could also see them moving all the movies and shows off of the DC Universe app but keep the comics, lower the price, and just keep it around as DC's answer to Marvel Unlimited. Either way, there's definitely no way the app will exist in its current form a year from now.

I concur that the DC universe app won't last long the way things are going. In this day and age where everyone and their mother are scrambling to have a streaming service and lure people with original content, you need a strong product that appeals to everyone. I personally didn't think they were giving much incentive to subscribe in the first place, especially to the casual audience. When it was first announced, I wondered why they just didn't came up with a WB app where they would offer the DC content along with all of the movies and TV shows that fall under the WB umbrella. I have no doubt they are slowly moving things to HBO Max and edging the DC universe app out.

It seems like WB may very well be heading in that direction. Doom Patrol season 2 is premiering simultaneously on both platforms (and of course, season 1 can also be found on both, as well), the first two seasons of the Harley Quinn cartoon will soon be found on HBO Max, and while it's not directly related to HBO Max, the second season of Stargirl will not stream on DC Universe like the first season did. Seems like only a matter of time before the first two seasons of Titans are also on HBO Max, and then we'll see where they announce the third season will premiere (not filming yet, as I understand) and where the fourth season of Young Justice (in production) will go. Renewing Harley Quinn for a third season seems likely as well. They could string things along and put these shows on both platforms or just move them completely to HBO Max and shut down the DC Universe app as soon as they can. I personally don't think DC Universe will exist beyond 2021 if it even lasts beyond 2020.

This sounds exactly like Fox's Gotham other than Batman is around.

So "Law & Order: DCU" . . . again? Nothing like reinventing the wheel.
