DC is launching the DC Universe streaming service as a hub for all of its properties. One of the chief aims of the service is to bring fans of the DC universe into a location that can provide the detail and nuance that twitter and Facebook can’t provide while also weeding out toxic behavior and harassment.

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Roger Chang and Justin Robert Young.
