Aside from revealing release dates, DC Chief Operating Officer Jim Lee also unveiled new images of Titans. According to TheWrap, the first season’s 12 episodes will air weekly on the new platform. It is partly based on the 1980’s incarnation of DC’s longtime young superhero team Teen Titans to be led by Brenton Thwaites’ Robin. In addition to that, Lee also announced that Titans would support another original show titled Doom Patrol.

The DC Universe streaming service will also have classic comics like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Other favorites to be included are the Batman: Gothic, The Authority series, Green Arrow: Year One, Shazam, The New Teen Titans, The Batman Adventures and New Gods. There is also going to be a wide array of TV shows including Lois and Clark and an HD remastered version of Batman: The Animated Series.

According to Smith, subscribers can use the DC Universe streaming service on two devices at once. The library of content will also be refreshed each month beyond weekly and daily shows.
