When going through the digitized issues of World’s Finest Comics, I noticed huge gaps in the run. This is especially true of all the stories featuring one of my favorite villains in the series, the Composite Superman. None of his stories has been digitized and I was wondering if DC Universe was going to correct that mistake?

On an unrelated subject, have you ever watched the series What We Do in the Shadows? I got the first three seasons and what I’ve seen so far has been great. Any other fans of the show out there?

Hey J,

OK, I’m just gonna ask straight out: has DC stopped developing the DCUI app and site entirely? There hasn’t been a major update since May, and only a couple of minor ones since then. A while back, there were some promises made and rumblings about new and improved features that were supposed to be coming, like better search, improved user lists, etc., but I haven’t heard anything about that in a long time, and there doesn’t seem to be any indication that any of that is still on the horizon. There also haven’t been any new storyline collections added in a long time, despite suggestions being made in this thread. So, any idea what’s going on?

Happy New Year @Jitsu! :partying_face:
When will the next reading of DC Book Club will be? I really did enjoy reading Batman: Noel. It was the first time I’ve read the book.:slightly_smiling_face:

I’m gonna pull the questions from the roll call. I can copy and paste them on my phone, so here’s a screenshot.

@Jitsu! The Jits! Jits-a-reeno! Jitsmeister! The Jitsanator! Jits-a-mundi!

Hi, and a Happy 2022, Fearless Leader! :wave:t2: :clark_hv_4:

How did your move go? Did you get into any wacky, cross-country hijinks worthy of song around the 'ol DCUI campfire, or just a nice and easy move? I’m hoping it was a nice, orderly and easy affair.

I don’t have any pressing DCUI queries at the mo, so I’ll just conclude by saying that I hope your move went well, and that your 2022 is going smoothly.

SN: Did you read Dark Knights of Steel #3, yet?

It’s on my desk, but I haven’t yet had time to read it.

Edit: I do have a DCUI-related inquiry after all, Jitsu!

Earlier today (Wednesday, 1/5), I got a notice asking “Do you want to install DC Universe Community on this device?”

I X’ed out of it, since I was already in the community (on Chrome mobile), but it made me wonder:

Is the community going to be a separate thing we can install, and access outside of a standard browser (it’d be really great if the Community functionality was available on the DCUI app, hint-hint :wink:)?

This was the first time I’d seen a notice like the above, so I’d like to get your thoughts on the matter, El Jitsumeister. :superman_hv_4:

Hello @Jitsu,
Over at The DC Animated Club, I’m doing a year of Batman The Animated Series, my question is, what’s your favorite episode? Mine is Joker’s Favor and 2 part episodes of Shadow of the Bats.:grinning:

  • As we approach the one year anniversary of DC Universe Infinite are there any celebrations planned? Anything exciting you can tease us to look for?

  • As we also approach the one year anniversary of the Justice League Funko Pop!s offer that went sideways are there any plans for a similar opportunity (hopefully better organized and policed so that only DCUI members have access) for Limited Edition DC merchandise? For The Peacemaker…or Naomi…or Black Adam…or The Flash…or The Batman…anything? We WANT to buy things and nothing gets our attention more than “Limited Edition” and “Exclusive” merchandise that only we (hopefully) have access to!

  • Is any other DC Universe Infinite exclusive comic in the works? The only one we’ve gotten so far is ‘Let Them Live!: Unpublished Tales from the DC Vault’ and the last new issue of that posted in April.

  • What happened to the Exclusive Sneak Peeks? They started off hot and heavy when DCUI first launched and then tapered off and the last one I see having posted on here was in July. Since then they’ve become “First Looks” which are nothing more than directing us to go to DCComics website to read the preview that is posted for the public. Surely with all that is going on in the DC Universe (comics, movies, shows, toys/merchandise, games, etc) there’s something to give us paying subscribers a peek at at least once a month, right? Are there any plans on bringing those back so that we paying subscribers get a sneak peek at upcoming stuff that the general public does not?

  • What happened to the Live Q&As? These were fairly common for a while and, again, started off great when DCUI first launched but the last one I see having taken place was in May. Are there any plans on bringing those back at any point?

  • We were asked to submit questions for the cast of The Suicide Squad and The Peacemaker. We did…and then what? Did either of them ever happen?
    Submit Your Questions for the Cast of THE SUICIDE SQUAD!
    Calling All Peacemaker Fans!

Hey J,

Any update on:

As you can see, the problems have really been piling up. I’d love to see the solutions start piling just as high.

Will we see the service evolve anymore? We’ve lost video content and have fewer Q and As from talent but have gained more comics in a shorter period of time. Will we see any future substantial changes or improvements to DCUI or has the service hit the sweet spot that leadership is looking for and now it’s about maintenance?

I think a lot of us have similar questions/concerns. I believe a “State of the Union” for DCUI is warranted and I think those of us that have been paying customers for years now deserve some answers and some information on what the plan for this site is and what we can expect in the year(s) to come. To see them abandon so many pillars of what they promised us with zero information on when/if they will ever return is very disappointing and concerning.

And why, to put it bluntly, we’re constantly being told that the Content Team is “aware” of all of the myriad problems plaguing the service, but they no longer seem to be able to actually fix any of them. Particularly the missing and corrupted issues. These days, if an issue doesn’t arrive on its scheduled day, or if it doesn’t work correctly on Android, I just assume that it’s not ever going to show up here or that I’m not ever going to be able to read it. And that’s a pretty sad state of affairs.

I’m sorry to keep harping on this point, but delivering comic issues is literally the one thing that I pay DCUI to do. I expect nothing more, and nothing less. So yes, I am increasingly concerned and frustrated by the service’s recent frequent inability to 100% successfully do the one thing that it’s designed to do.

Hello @Jitsu,
I have an idea for a club, will you guys be accepting a club application soon?

Answering on Jitsu’s behalf as clubs are more my thing: Yes! Some planning needs to be done, but we should be accepting new club submissions towards the end of January :slight_smile:
