Well, this will be interesting.
Warner Bros. is in the process of creating a DCD-branded service that will arrive in 2018 on the digital front that will bring more of the properties under that umbrella to audiences. According to Deadline, “The DC-branded direct-to-consumer digital platform, in the works for the past several months, marks the second major new service launched by Warner Bros Digital Networks — the division started last year with the mandate of building WB-owned digital and OTT video services — following the recently introduced animation-driven Boomerang. The DC-branded platform is expected to offer more than a traditional OTT service; it is designed as an immersive experience with fan interaction and will encompass comics as well as TV series.”
What the new service will be launching with will definitely get attention, however, with the third season of Young Justice that’s being called Young Justice: Outsiders and a live-action Titans TV series that was being looked at by TNT previously. That series will be done by Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter and Warner Bros TV, which means there’s a very good chance it’ll connect with The CW shows to some degree as Berlanti’s projects have worked to keep that a part of things.
Titans follows a group of young soon-to-be superheroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe. In the action-adventure series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes that includes Starfire, Raven and others.
With Young Justice: Outsiders, the new season of the animated series has team facing its greatest challenge as it takes on meta-human trafficking and the terrifying threat it creates for a society caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning the globe and the galaxy.
