Didn't you just recently complain about possibly having to cut back channels in order to save money? What changed?
DC launching digital service with Titans and Young Justice
- Thread starter dahj
- Start date
I've had the thought that maybe the best approach is to cycle through subscriptions to the various services one after the other. Like, subscribe to one for a month or two until you've caught up with its shows for that season, then drop it and subscribe to the next one until you catch up with it, and so on. A bit complicated to keep track of, but less expensive than keeping them all at once.
Hmm. The looks are okay, I guess, but it's odd that Robin's the only one in a real superhero costume. And I still think Starfire's hair is too garishly colored. It's supposed to be more auburn, I'd say, not hot pink.
Pricing also announced, $7,99 monthly, $74,99 annual:

And apparently Stargirl will skew younger and take a lighter tone than the TV-MA Titans. Good to have that variety. I wonder, will it share a universe with the other DCU shows, or stand apart? It's possible to have shows of very different tones and age levels in the same continuity, at least nominally -- see Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures sharing the Doctor Who universe (although they pretty much ignored each other except in crossovers on DW).
8 bucks a month for four shows doesn't sound that bad. It's near or below the typical cost of one movie a month. And if you go for the 1-year package, that's only $6.25 a month.
The trailer for Titans does ZERO for me..."Fuck, Batman"? 
I have to admit, I'm MUCH more interested in the comics side. If it's like the Marvel Unlimited, I could be very interested.

And another live action show announced for DCU:
Stargirl!
Geoff Johns wil be writing and producing along, you guessed it, Greg Berlanti.
Well, Johns can write her well, and as long as she's not going around impaling people with her staff it could be interesting.
He should. He created her, after all.
*hopes you didn't just give Johns a "sweet idea."
For the most part, I have enjoyed his comics writing... his work in live action, much less so.
Eh, honestly its no guarantee. He can go from being one of the greatest writers of a character (like in his pre-reboot Green Lantern run writing Hal Jordan) to extremely mediocre to terrible writing the same character. His writing skills really haven't shown themselves in awhile in my opinion, so just because he created her doesn't mean he can still write her well. I hope he does, but I won't be that surprised if the show isn't very good.
But, bare minimum, he will write her better then the so called "Stargirl" in Legends of Tomorrow. Unless he goes with the "stabbing people with her staff" thing, it is almost impossible to write her worse then the LoT version.
You keep talking about this - is it something she's done in some media?
I thought the trailer for Titans was really good and can't wait til it premieres, but this newly announced Stargirl project has me extremely excited because it's essentially an Infinity Inc. series without that name attached, and with Courtney in the lead, which sounds like it'll be a lot of fun.
Swamp Thing will not share the same universe as Titans and Doom Patrol.
Of course, down the road, they could reveal the show taking place in another part of the Multiverse, but for now, there are no plans for crossovers.
