Talk:DC Universe (streaming service)

Updates[edit]

I've moved the original programming table here, because both articles can easily fit in this one before it's required to split. Swamp Thing and Harley Quinn have been moved to draft space, as articles for television series (and films, for that matter) do not typically exist until filming or animation production has commenced. (Titans and Young Justice: Outsiders have commenced.) Finally, should this article be disambiguated with (company) or (streaming service)? -- AlexTW 10:29, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

Would DC Universe (streaming service) be a better disambiguation? It's more a service offered by DC Comics and Warner Bros. than it's own company from what I've seen. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:26, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's what I suggested above. I do feel it would better describe the service. -- AlexTW 04:37, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Alex. Didn't see your initial question at the end of your post above. Let's see if we get anyone else to comment over the next couple of days. Otherwise, I'll WP:BEBOLD and make the change. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:59, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I created it with company because I wasn't sure if there was something in the Manual of Style regarding the labeling of services like this in the event of articles with the same name. I suppose it hasn't really come up before. I was inclined to use (streaming service) but didn't see it used on any other article. I'd agree it is probably more accurate but overall I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I'd support a move I suppose. – BoogerD (talk) 18:55, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to make the move. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:42, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

Half the lead needs to be rewritten. It reads as a sales pitch, it isn't neutral, it contains WP:PEACOCK terms, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was copy-and-pasted from an actual press release. DarkKnight2149 21:28, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"DC Universe is expected to offer more than video content through the inclusion of an immersive experience with fan interaction that encompasses comics in addition to television." - Tell me that doesn't sound like someone working for DC Comics wrote the thing...

WP:BEBOLD. Fix it. -- AlexTW 00:16, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, we may have to wait until there are more details before I can fully rewrite it. The problem is that, despite hyping up the service with peacock statements like "offers more than video content" and "immersive experience", it's incredibly vague:
- "DC Universe is expected to offer more than video content..." Wait, "expected"? Does it or doesn't it? And if there's a chance it won't, what are we doing talking about it?
- "...through the inclusion of an immersive experience..." I'm definitely rewording that somehow.
- "...with fan interaction that encompasses comics in addition to television." - It says "with". Does that mean the fan interaction is the "immersive experience" or is that referring to something else? Secondly, how does fan interaction "encompass" comics and television? Are the shows and comics just the forum of conversation? Are there comment sections on each of them? What do they mean by "encompass"?
All in all, I'll try to reword what I can for now. I'm thinking about removing most of that sentence altogether. It's worded in a manner that tries to get the reader excited for the service (a violation of WP:NPOV), but actually tells us very little, offering minimal encyclopedic content.

Titans on Netflix Internationally[edit]

Should we take Titans, the service’s flagship series, being distributed by Netflix as the definitive sign that the service won’t expand beyond the US and Canada?--Sarcathmo17 (talk) 03:11, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No. Something could change in the future. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:30, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What should happen with this article come January 21[edit]

Should we simply move the article to DC Universe Infinite? Since it's completely different content, should this stay and a new article be created at DC Universe Infinite? Or should we move the article to the new name, and possible split the streaming content over to one of HBO Max's articles? Something else? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:52, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So what? Will we change anything? Cause' it's January 21 and I think we should do something BrandtM113 (talk) 07:48, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone ahead and split off the relevant content to create a dedicated article to DC Universe Infinite. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
