DC Universe TV Shows Move To HBO Max As Service Becomes Comic Book Subscription Only Launching Globally in 2021

DC has today announced what was the US streaming service DC Universe, will be “evolving” into DC Universe Infinite, a premium digital comic book service set to launch on January 21, 2021, in the US, then later in 2021 for the rest of the world.

Over the last few months, the overlords at WB have slowly been moving all of the TV content off DC Universe in the US onto shiny new streaming service HBO Max. Just today, it was announced that ‘Harley Quinn‘ would be the last of the DC Originals to move over when it returns for Season 3, joining ‘Doom Patrol’, ‘Stargirl’, ‘Titans’ and ‘Young Justice’. Whilst this change doesn’t help DC tv show fans internationally, it is some great news for comic book fans, as DC Universe Infinite is set to launch globally in Summer 2021.

The new comic book subscription service will give subscribers access to more than 24,000 comic books at launch, along with digital-first comics, exclusive access to DC fan events, as well as a steady stream of recently released comics six months after the physical versions hit store shelves. The service provides members with an expanded collection of comics and Original Graphic Novels, spanning over 80 years of the DC Multiverse. Fans can also download comics, graphic novels and originals for unlimited offline reading on their favourite devices from a smartphone or tablet.

Our fans love the platform’s robust library of comic books and, with the transformation, we will not disappoint,” commented DC Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee. “I’m excited to share that not only will DC Universe Infinite members still be able to read all of the great comics that they’ve enjoyed but new issues are debuting on the platform quicker than before, digital-first exclusives are being created, and the members-only events will begin as soon as possible. There has never been a better time to be a DC fan!”

Subscribers will also have earlier access to new Digital First comics that include titles such as Aquaman: Deep Dives, Batman: Gotham Nights, DCeased: Hope at World’s End, Harley Quinn: Black + White + Red, Injustice: Year Zero, Shazam!: Lightning Strikes, Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Swamp Thing: New Roots and Wonder Woman 84, and many more. Also debuting on DC Universe Infinite will be DC Universe Infinite Originals, including new comic content centred around beloved characters.

The fan-favourite community area will be free to all registered and premium subscribers with a full calendar of events planned for 2021. Current DC Universe subscribers will not need to create a new account as their DC Universe login will transfer to DC Universe Infinite.

DC Universe Infinite will be available online at DCUniverseInfinite.com, iOS and Android devices for $7.99 a month or $74.99 a year (no news on international pricing yet). On February 1, 2021, every DC Universe Infinite subscriber, existing members or those joining during the pre-order offer window will receive a special thank you voucher redeemable at the DC Shop subject to terms and conditions. Annual subscribers will receive a $25 voucher, while monthly subscribers will receive a $10 voucher.
