The DC Universe “Oracle” update is named in honor of Barbara Gordon’s amazing cyber alias. As Oracle, Barbara uses extraordinary technology and seemingly infinite knowledge to operate a worldwide network, guiding hundreds of heroes on their quests. Oracle provides immediate intel to groups like the Batman Family, Birds of Prey, Justice League, Suicide Squad and Batman Inc.

Oh, this is such a nifty update! I’m especially digging the master home button—infinite clicking of the back arrow after jumping from topic to topic is no more! Thanks for being so rad DC universe. (also, I spy new emojis… or maybe I’m late on that? Either way I love ‘em. )
Thanks, @TheGirlWonder12! We do sneaky sneak some new emojis in there from time to time- we added Doom Patrol emojis during the writer’s Q&A on Monday as a “thanks” for joining us :flexmentallo_dp:
Appreciate the kind words, and don’t hesitate to reach out if anything looks amiss!
Can the master home button please be added to the comics section on the mobile app in the next update, please? It’s sorely needed there, especially when adding multiple issues of a comic to a list. Thanks.
Interesting, gotcha! I’ll talk to the devs; the developments outside Community are on a different timepath and the roadmap is pretty well planned out for the immediate feature, but I’ll definitely pass along what a hit the Home button is!
Thank you for creating this thread so that I can share how amazing the Oracle update is (so appropriately named)!
As many have pointed out, the Home button is a total game changer. I noticed it right away and navigation is so much smoother (especially on the iPad).
I also love the new reply, with the information listed on each tile in an easier to read, more effective format. Community Profile data seems to be rearranged as well, clearer and easier to select items with a framed box (visible on iOS).
Looking forward to digging into the Browse options in the comics section as well. The work done here is immense and so appreciated, as we all love reading on DCU!
Such a super fantastic job all around - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
The main DC Universe search bar might be just the ticket! Type in something like “All-Star Superman” and you will be met with results sorted by media type:
I use the Community exclusively on my laptop, so I don’t quite understand how amazing the mobile Home button is for everyone, but I’m happy for you guys all the same.
I love the notifications options on every individual thread. Also not sure if the backgrounds were added in this update or am I just super duper unobservant? I just noticed and they look great.
edit: I found the answer to above while reading Applejack’s office hours! Looking good, folks.

Strike-through text has been supported since we arrived in this new strange land of forums 2.0. It’s just the word “strike”, surrounded by brackets like html but with the > < style brackets instead of ] [ type.
Blah
edit: Well I just learned something new, by quoting my post! You can also do a strike-through by placing “~~” before and after whatever phrase you want to strike. It really is magic.
I’ve been enjoying the services a lot, the thing that I think the comic reader needs is the ability to see the whole page before and after going panel to panel to really appreciate the art and the effort the artists put into it, and also a check mark to already read comics. Hope to see it on the next update, thank you!
This update makes it so much easier to navigate through the app. You can pretty much go directly to what you want. I agree with @TheGirlWonder12 it’s definitely “nifty” . I also say we need more DC centered emojis maybe for those who pay for the app can download the DC emojis for every day text. Who doesn’t wasn’t to send to the wife or significant other.
