DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. new streaming service, DC
Universe, is now live to the public. 

The subscription service costs $7.99 per month
or $74.99 annually, and will feature original live action
and animated series from the world of DC Comics. 

The service’s first live-action original series, “Titans,”
will premiere October 12, with each of its 12 episodes released
weekly.

Currently, the service features access to classic TV series
and films, a curated selection of digital comic books, a
DC-centric encyclopedia, and exclusive merchandise, per a release
from Warner Bros. 

“DC Universe is not an attempt to be everything to
everyone,” Jim Lee, CCO of DC Entertainment and a veteran comic
book artist,
told Business Insider’s Travis Clark last month. “It’s an
attempt to be the most immersive experience for fans of the DC
characters and stories.”

“We’ve always been very cognizant that fans want to find
our material in a way that’s most convenient and find it in the
most easily accessible way,” Lee continued. “It’s always sort of
a mandate to look at technology and trends and figure out the
best way to deliver content.”

Warner Bros. digital networks president Craig Hunegs
said in a release on Friday that the service “stands out as a
fan-first service in what is quickly becoming a crowded
marketplace of consumer choices.”

Following “Titans,” the service said it will release a
number of original series including “Young Justice: Outsiders,”
“Doom Patrol,” “Swamp Thing,” “Harley
Quinn” and “Stargirl.”
