Looks like the $7.99-a-month DC Universe streaming app has opened a few days early.

I haven't tried reading or watching anything yet because I can't use my data. I'm hoping maybe I can access some stuff. When I get home, I'm gonna check. I'm so excited. Pre-ordering it possibly today and if not today, then tomorrow.

And live in America of course. I wouldn't know being in the UK. But some people have sent me a screencap or two…

There is video of it working on Smart TVs…

Here's a look at the comic feature on DC Universe app for smart TVs. It works smoothly and it looks fantastic on big screens. pic.twitter.com/xePadj3t83

But there are some concerns about the sparceness of the comic book content…

DC Universe app is pretty cool so far, but I really hope they plan to add more to the comics section. Seems to be just a sampler for many somewhat recent- and not so recent -comic series. But in the mean time I'll be watching some animated films and series that I've missed out on

The #DCUniverse app is bad on the comic side. 1-3 issues of a series is terrible. Comic stories last around 6 issues. @DCComics needs to add full story arcs or don't add anything at all.

Got a month of the DC Universe App. Checking it out now. Cool but I'm disappointed in the Comics section.

Why would you only put one issue of Dark Knight Returns up. I'm not saying put every arc known to man up but I'd prefer the full run of an arc then waiting if it's there.

I would look at this wording closely if this is still an issue.

There may be some teething troubles…

At least they get the idea. they have a lot of issue from nicher series and less of the really popular ones

@TheDCUniverse Why is the DC Universe app locked in the landscape orientation on my tablet until I start reading a comic?

So far, the DC Universe app is working smoothly. It has some connection errors, but overall, it's a welcome addition for fans of DC.

But many people are happy….

For not having officially launched, @TheDCUniverse has a surprising amount of content. Reading Robin Year One right now. The reader works well on a tablet, even without an app. #comics #dccomics #DCUniverse

In other news, I LOVE the #DCUniverse app. I already added a ton of comics to my to read list. I am seriously impressed by this library

Or watching Constantine even though they already own it…

Yes, the first thing I've decided to stream via the #DCUniverse App is #Constantine the TV Show!

I own it, but wanted it to be the first thing I watch via the service.
