DC Universe’s Uncertain Future: Streaming Service or Glorified Fan Community?

Will DC Universe go the way of Krypton? Barely two years into its lifespan, the DC Comics-branded streaming service is being stripped down and harvested for parts, with the majority of its series migrating elsewhere. DC Universe appears to be leaving scripted originals behind, being edged out the streaming competition by its sibling, HBO Max. “Stargirl” was renewed for a second season, but shuffled over to The CW, which was already airing episodes a day after they premiered on DCU during its first season. “Stargirl” should feel right at home with the network’s “Arrowverse” series like “The Flash,” “Batwoman” and newcomer “Superman & Lois.” Another DC Universe original, “Doom Patrol,” is simulcasting its second season over on HBO Max in a move that looks more like a test run for an eventual permanent stay on DCU’s big brother streamer. The animated “Harley Quinn” is expected to get some HBO Max play, as well. Even “Swamp Thing,” the only DCU series to get canceled so far, will get a second life on The CW.
