DC Comics/Dark Horse: Batman vs. Predator, DC Comics/Dark Horse Comics: Justice League Vol. 1, and Wonder Woman/Conan have been pulled from digital sale and distribution (meaning they’ve also been removed from hoopla) due to rights issues. The only two remaining DC/Dark Horse/Aliens/Predator crossover collections available digitally are DC Comics/Dark Horse: Superman and Dark Horse Comics/DC Comics: Justice League Vol. 2 (though I suspect that these two will be pulled themselves at some point in the future, so get 'em while you can!).
14 long-time missing issues have finally been added to DCUI! BIG thanks to @HubCityQuestion for making this possible. I banged my head against the wall repeatedly about this for almost a year-and-a-half, but only HCQ was able to get this done! Thank you!
There are still a few issues that are technically “missing” from DCUI, in that they are available for sale on Amazon, but let’s just say that they are “missing for a reason” and leave it at that. That being the case, and under the belief that these remaining issues are not likely to be added to DCUI any time soon, I am officially retiring my Issues Missing From DCUI list (for now).

Missed this one since the very beginning, since it’s not mentioned in the solicitation text for the book.
**grumblegrumble **
Makes me wonder what else I’ve missed for the same reason. Heck, maybe this and a whole bunch of other books will turn up on DCUI Ultra next month and make it all a moot point…
The issue with the creator owned titles (like Astro City or The Boys) is that the digital rights also move with those authors. Also, anything that might have mixed rights issue - I’m not sure why The Nobody (2009) by Jeff Leimire has a French Kindle edition, for example, but not an English digital - and unlike other creators, if he fully owns the rights, he has not moved them to Dark Horse or Image, etc.
Here, you are right to turn to and use the Grand Comics Database and you should also look to the DC Wikia (which is now a Fandom site and most of those entries are not being updated - but since we are talking about books likely published between say 1975-1990/2000 or so, they should have already been included there.
Also - to answer another question you asked, Barnes & Noble’s web site has a lot of DC books in digital, including surprisingly to me, floppies. Also, Apple iBooks has many DC books, in fact I own a huge collection of digitals since I own an iPad and had several hundreds of dollars in iTunes gift cards at my disposal, and as you can see from this screen shot, it includes floppies:
Apple remains a good source to check for the classic DC or ‘this week’s new releases’ since they do not share Crapazon’s engineering teams inability to create a proper search engine. And you do not need an Apple product or even an account simply to search and browse the site.
This looks like a great deal of hard work, so thanks for that.
