    Default DC Universe to switch to comics-only platform in 2021

    Also changing their name to "DC Universe Infinite"

    https://www.gamesradar.com/dc-univer...erse-infinite/

    Thoughts?

    On a side note, I find the name change to include "Infinite" kind of funny seeing as they're taking content away...

    Unsurprising. That bit about making digital comics specific to the platform is interesting though. We know more Superman: Man of Tomorrow is coming, might mean more of the other digital series like Gotham Knights are coming as well. My advice to DC with those series is let the creators run wild on them, let them do “runs” with any status quo they want. So we could have a married Batman or what not in the Gotham Knight title under one creator, then when the next person gets the title, relaunch it and maybe it could star a young unmarried Batman if that’s what that creative team wants.

    Well, I'm disappointed.

    My major reason for subscribing to DC Universe was to watch the inevitable new Batman Cartoon. (I also enjoyed the old Batman cartoons.)

    Since I have to go elsewhere for that now, I guess I'm going elsewhere.

    I like that you can get HBO Max for only $5 extra...but is that not an available option yet? I don’t see where I can get the $5 deal.

    No the changes are happening in January, so the deal isn’t available yet

    It is supposed to be, or was, I know it was announced shortly after HBO Max launched.

    The article posted on DC Universe says you can upgrade now for HBO Max at $4.99/month with this deal...but I can’t find where to actually do it.

    Can’t wait. Been using a vpn to access the comics, this is a great move.

    I think this was probably the most sensible solution as to what to do with DC Universe.

    If you’re in a free trial with DC Universe right now you aren’t eligible for the HBO Max deal.

    So if someone, like me, is excited about this new rollout and goes to sign up for it...they aren’t even eligible for the new deal that was just announced today as being a new deal. Which is pretty lame.

    Same here, though for whatever reason it’s not going to be available worldwide until next summer.
