I have no earthly idea why all these companies are trying to create their own competing subscription services.

It seems like such a bad idea to me, and the show is already popular on Netflix.

Depending on price, I might subscribe, but as it is, it's a dicey prospect.

I'm hoping to see most if not all of the DC direct-to-video films show up on the service. With a couple exceptions, they've largely had a fairly strong track record in terms of reception, but it's hard to justify a $20-25 purchase every single time one looks interesting to me.

I mean, I'd subscribe to the service even if literally all it had was YJ Season 3 and a 6-second clip of Ambush Bug eating a sandwich. But as long as I'm throwing my money that way, I'd certainly appreciate any attempts from WB to "sweeten the pot," as it were.

Since it's a subscription-based service, I doubt they'll do all the episodes at once - making people wait a week between episodes would let them get a good 9 months of payments out of people.

I hope they add more stuff to the service besides the Titans show and YJ though, especially if it's on the more expensive side. Maybe the Justice League cartoons, since they were taken off Netflix?

Brainiac> I think they already confirmed it would be a one episode a week release.

So, after reading this recent response (https://s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=22576), I'm even more curious about the planned release schedule on the DC streaming service...which frankly needs a LOT of its details revealed at SDCC or I'm gonna be rather concerned. Given that no episode is as of yet 100% complete for Outsiders, do you guys think we're gonna wind up with a split-release schedule like the recent first season of The Tick on Amazon Video, a weekly release schedule like Star Trek: Discovery, a standard season-at-once dump, or something else entirely?

BISHANSKY - Thanks; I'm just glad it wasn't another case of the host going down.

Glad you're back, Todd!

I haven't been able to come here for the last few days, and thought that the site had gone down yet again. Then, on a sudden impulse, I tried coming here using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer, and succeeded - suggesting that Internet Explorer may have become incompatible with this place. That's all I know.

Hey! How can one make a rss feed out of Greg's answers?

...Amusingly, one of Oracle's only other animated appearances was ALSO as a result of Greg Weisman - in his script for The Batman Season 4, "Artifacts."

It would be interesting to Oracle in season 3, mostly because Oracle hasn't really been represented in animation.
Oh and 6th.

I wonder - it seems kinda likely that Batgirl might become Oracle at some point, maybe in the s3 timeskip. I think it'd be cool if Paula taught her how to fight from a wheelchair afterwards.
