* KillerApp: The big draw for the service, apart from having a massive backlog of DC material from animation to live-action, to comic books, was that it had shows exclusive to the service. ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice: Outsiders'', ''Series/Titans2018'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Harley Quinn|2019}}'' were the first among them. The former two are especially notable for being former victims of ScrewedByTheNetwork, so this was likely what they had in mind.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The transition from a video and comics streaming platform to a comics-only platform came from above, Creator/WarnerMedia that is, since they planned to bolster the all-encompassing Creator/HBOMax instead of maintaining niche services. Production of DC Universe's shows that are now housed on HBO Max should remain unaffected, however.

** The Series/{{Arrowverse}} from Creator/TheCW shows are especially popular on Netflix but the catch is that WB doesn't outright own the CW, they split ownership with Creator/{{CBS}} down the middle. By making shows on something WB owns they're cutting out two middlemen, Netflix and CBS. Though the Arrowverse is very lucrative in its own right and isn't going anywhere anytime soon
