DC fans disappointed streaming site gets US-only launch
DC finally launched its anticipated streaming service DC Universe over the weekend, but it has already annoyed fans worldwide.
That's because the service is currently only available in the US. In locations such as the UK, the site declares that it will "announce when it is available in your region". Ugh.
The service, which has been billed as a "standalone digital experience", launched on September 14 – a day earlier than originally planned.
And while US fans were thrilled to be getting their dose of DC early, non-Americans are pretty upset that they will have to wait for a while longer for it to launch overseas:
When I go on to this link, it states that it’s still not available in the UK region yet! COME ON @TheDCUniverse, LET US BRITS HAVE ACCESS TO THIS!!! 😡😡😡 #DCUniverse

DC Universe will include new series such as the anticipated Titans, as well as Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, Young Justice: Outsiders and Harley Quinn.
On top of that are a bunch of classic shows like Lois and Clark, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Birds of Prey, Constantine, Static Shock and the '70s version of Wonder Woman.
Meanwhile, DC gave us first-look clip from Titans over the weekend, showing us what happens when two Robins meet.
The new series is set to focus on Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, and showrunner Greg Walker has hinted at tensions between the pair.
"It's kind of like one of those classic covers of the books – original versus number two – and in many ways, you really see that," he said.
"This encapsulates the tension, the energy between these two guys. It's like running into your ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend, minus the sexual tension."
