The Good, The Bad and the WEIRD of DC's Streaming Service

I've been using this for a bit and haven't explicitly talked about it in depth.

Time to change that.

Here is a List (or 3) of things you need to know about DC Universe.
If you were waiting for me to tell you whether or not to Subscribe, here you go...

The Good
- Lots of Content
You can watch alot of good Shows on there.  Batman, Superman, Justice League and even Aquaman are presented here in many forms.

On the Network- Batman: TAS, Superman, Lois & Clark, Wonder Woman, Flash, Shazam (TV) and Justice League (Cartoon)

The Bad
- Missing Content
Sadly, for every few great Shows/Films you can see, many are missing.  Nobody is going to crying over the lack of Steel or Superman IV- granted.  However, if you want to watch the DCEU Films, you can't see them here.

Missing from Network- Man of Steel, Wonder Woman (Film), Teen Titans Go, Smallville, The CW Shows, Nolan's 'Batman' Trilogy, Superman Returns.

The Weird
-This isn't on here?!?
Some stuff is missing for no clear reason.  Did you not lock this down?

Also missing- Steel, Swamp Thing ('90s TV), Beware the Batman, Swamp Thing (Films), Superman III and IV, Swamp Thing (Cartoon)

The Good
- Rarely-seen Content
I can harp on what's missing, but there are many surprising little things on here.

Also on the Network- Aquaman (TV Pilot), The Spirit (1987 TV Pilot), Superboy (Seasons 2-4 not on DVD, but on here)

The Bad
- Good luck finding them!
For some reason, a bunch of this content is hidden under a bar called 'Specials.'  Was there no better place?!?


The Good
- Restored Content
You can see some Shows like Batman: TAS and Wonder Woman in HD.  Neat.

The Bad
- Not Yet Restored Content
Call me impatient, but why Remaster all of Batman and then just skip Superman: TAS?



The Weird
- This made the Cut?
Before we get Remastered Justice League, we have...HD Aquaman from the 1960s?  Yea?

They have lots of Comics on here too.  Of course, so does Comixology.  That's not really a make-or-break thing now, is it?

If you like DC TV/Film Content, it is a bonus though.

If and when the Site/Service has ALL of the Content it should have had at launch/within the window, it could be a no-brainer for you...assuming you don't already own all of the DC Stuff you probably want to see already (like me).

Fun, but not complete.
