DC Universe is a DC-branded streaming service operated by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Digital Networks. It was launched in a beta state in late August 2018, with its full release on September 15, 2018. The service's primary selling point is its subscription-based user access to online streaming of a library of DC Comics films and television programs, including original TV programming such as Young Justice: Outsiders. Currently, it is available in the U.S. only via desktop and all iOS and Android devices.
During the last quarter of 2018, and since the launch of the platform, seasons one and two of Young Justice topped the charts as among the most-viewed content and the tie-in comics were among the top 10 most read.[1]
History
DC Universe was announced as an untitled service in April 2017, with Young Justice: Outsiders and Titans as its flagship shows.[2] The title of the service was formally announced in May 2018.[3] The following month, DC Entertainment revealed the first official details about the service and confirmed that it would launch in late 2018.
