To the surprise of fucking no one.

I feel like the DC library is just too small to warrant its own streaming service. What would they charge for it?

>it's bad news about DC so it must be fake!!!!
Pathetic

>However, for example Swamp Thing won't now be getting another season and this is to do with the promised tax rebate where they were filming having been swallowed up by a (state government) accounting error - basically they were told they'd get a $40m rebate and they got $14. The budget of the first season was about $80m in total (so they're a major contributor to state coffers) but for a $14m rebate it's impossible to maintain the same level of quality for next season. For that reason, Swamp Thing is cancelled (the state can't offer money back it doesn't have and the mistake was one of misfiled paperwork) because there's no point even putting production on hiatus when that rebate will simply never materialise.
>But that means they're down a lot of money and it means that the streaming service would have to recoup that. Per-show it won't (though in total even a modest success for a DC-only service would probably make far more than $40m) so, because they now have to re-think their productions, find new places to shoot where there are actual rebates and so on, for now the service would only be re-run material, which they're already showing elsewhere on their existing tv platforms.
Nope

The giant cockroach ate up all the budget. Damn evangelists! Damn them and their gay psychic mouse brides!

DC will never not be the company of JUST

Just put YJ on Netflix and scrap literally everything else, nothing of value will be lost.

probably sell them off to Netflix and shut the service down

DC is probably becoming irrelevant and will die in our lifetimes. Normies don't care about them anymore, Superman is losing status, and Batman has become oversaturated.

It just started wtf

They're debating whether or not to keep it or fold it into the Warnermedia service

don't worry Yea Forums, the chads are coming home.

It's been almost a year and still hasn't covered the cost of Fuck Batman

Oh no now we'll never get season 2 of Titans.

Maybe they're going to fold it in to WB's inevitable non-HBO streaming service?

DC always wins

It might have HBO

But it also might be $17 a month because of it

i hope disney's fails as well so we can be done with capeshit

They won't be able to compete with Netflix or Disney+ with that price tag.

It won't, and deep down you know it. This is the new normal.

At least Batman comics are still selling tho, right guys? DC will always be okay so long as they have Batman

Well it's not like they can compete now

MCU is going to continue forever since they are actually making an effort to use their lesser known characters.

YJ takes years to produce if it gets another season it'll likely come out on a unified Warner streaming service because frankly that makes more sense than all the fragmented stuff they have now.

DC don't be stupid, just make it global and profit

That is the most likely scenario.

I’d get the DC streaming service if they had it on the switch or even the PS4 it’s odd that they don’t

I have a friend that works at DC (I really actually do) and they have been scrambling the jets in terms of restructuring. He offered me a job before and then immediately stated there was a hiring freeze soon after.

>"We're waiting to see what Disney does to see what works"

F

Why the fuck didn't they just make an overall WB streaming service instead? Did they really expect the DC brand to carry its own weight for an entire streaming service built on a niche audience and expect that service to make guaranteed millions?
What a colossal fucking waste of money

Titans was kino.

Because WB had nothing to do with this

This was all DC's bright idea because they wanted their own Marvel Unlimited but better with original TV shows

Honestly it was a stupidly niche idea to begin with. A WB streaming service is reasonable, a DC specific streaming service is expecting way too much.

I loved Doom Patrol, but the rest was pretty bad and insultingly glib.

Casting an african as starfire was its downfall

I see you keep spamming your own tweets.

>tfw we'll never get a Brotherhood of Dada on Doom Patrol
I am fucking devastated

Ftfy.

The Quiz is the coolest fucking idea for a supervillain
>She has every superpower you've never thought of
>The only way to defeat her is to keep thinking of different super powers and hope that you can out creative her

Well, considering how they made Mr. Nobody a discount try hard faux-weird dweeb who couldn't even commit to his awful redesign, I'm glad they won't ruin the BoD. So Live-Action Doom Patrol gets to be more great than bad:

The cocaine flowing into the offices DC Entertainment must be something else. Fuck.

No that's happening they're already half way through filming so they'll have paid out on most of it.

He's an idiot for not understanding corporate structures
And you're an idiot for believing him.

Name another streaming service where a queer street literally cums while a robot fakes it

No one wants to subscribe to a streaming service just to watch one, maybe two shows. I don't know why suits find that so hard to understand.

You get the movies and cartoons along with a huge backlog of comic.

and you're fucking retarded for not knowing how insanely fucked up the structure at warner is

there's a reason the new streaming service has a starting price of $17 a month

Maybe they thought since it "worked" for Cobra Kai and YT Red it would work here

>Ryan Hansen Solves Crime on Television Season 3 never
it hurts, but at least he's a lead on a network show now

I guaranfuckingtee the exact shit happens with Stadia. As in, Google puts in a shitton of money into getting some unironically great exclusives for the service but thanks to marketing incompetence and failure of communication as to what they're actually selling, some great games will never have a chance to be played when the service inevitably goes under.

Worse part is tha tthe service is only availiable on US.
They just threw money away

>You get the movies and cartoons along with a huge backlog of comic.
very niche

S

Yeah, the rest of the world has to wait for those shows to air all of their episodes before they're added to Netflix. Or pirate them because DC doesn't realize that people are impatient when you're told you can't legally get their product yet.

DC end up giving tv shows for the Netflix international catalog. seems like netflix gains more from this than DC
someone didn't really thought this very well

>DC's bright idea because they wanted their own Marvel Unlimited
Seems legit.
MCU envy is how we got JUSTice league.

>one no name site says it's being reevaluated because Swamp Thing not renewed for season 2
>cites no sources
>everyone just runs with it even after the fact that it was because of tax reasons comes out
Why is being a DC fan so suffering?

thats probably the best course of action
these are all good shows but such a service is already niche in an oversaturated market

merge it into VRV, merge it into Warnermedia

but it doesn't really stand on its own

Diseny is really good at synergy, but for some reason WB is like a headless chicken when it comes to this

Denial about what?

being in denial

good

we dont need a $10/month streaming service for every single goddamn IP holder

make your properties easy to see for the masses. show it everywhere. thats how you get new fans

walling it off in an exclusive box will only kill off the fanbases with time

you're an easy target

If it does, hopefully it just means being moved to Warnermedia.

Literally everything

From Joker's tattoos to the streaming service being a massive failure

I hope it does because the new episodes suck

Good news everyone

But the streaming service hasn't been a failure. Titans, Doom Patrol, Young Justice and Swamp Thing have all been incredibly well received. Swamp Thing not being renewed is because of tax reasons since the show was super expensive to make.

Well at least I'll get more of best girl Donna.

>Worse part is tha tthe service is only availiable on US.

At least I can see DC universe here in Puerto Rico. CBS all Access is unavailable here and I wanted to watch the new Twilight Zone

>have all been incredibly well received

That’s the usual Twitter or Reddit reaction, but probably that doesn’t match the numbers of eyeballs in the app. The same reason Netflix cancelled Sense8 even after all the Twitter screeching

The critic reaction has been insanely positive as well. They couldn't have been expecting HUGE eyeballs on the app anyway since it's a niche product only available in the US.

>The critic reaction has been insanely positive
>and I legit care about that
>as long as it's not related to Marble
>in which case they're all lying shills who are bought and paid for

But user didn't say anything about Marvel.

>Swamp Things Kills Streaming Services
>When asked why he doesn't like the future of media he replies
>There are many reasons I think this is a bad move, for one it's going to hurt all the people that live outside the cities. Anyone living near the swamps has a hard time getting good Internet service as it is, and asking them to subscribe to a bunch of these streaming services is unrealistic. Instead of taking shows off of easily accessible methods, we should give the end users the choice on how they want to consume their media. So this means, more ways to choose how you get this, netflix or traditional cable, and cable needs to let user pick their channels instead of forcing them to get a bunch of stuff they don't want.

>but why go to such extremes to destroy a streaming service dedicated to the people who created you, DC
>DC didn't create me, Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson did. WB/DC are just as guilty as any other corporation out there.
>Do you have anything else to add
>Fuck Dan Didio REEEEE blub blub blub

Why are you suddenly bringing Marvel into this? I don't think critics are shills, perhaps you're confusing me with a Snyderfag.

It was literally always a mistake.

I feel for the people who made great content only to have it smothered in it's crib by this half-assed money grab.

having a separate streaming for DC stuff when there was already Warner streaming service in the works was retarded to begin with

Hulk outsold Batman last month

That's nice sweetie but another Batman comic just outsold the hulk.

Anybody else read anons text in Farnsworth's voice?

Canceled my sub recently. It's a shit service
