Hey fellow DC Universe fans!
We’ve loved hearing your thoughts and suggestions for improving our beloved community, and are taking them all into consideration as we try to build upon them. With that in mind, we come to you all with another part of this brighter tomorrow…badges! With your combined superpowers, we would love to hear your thoughts on the types of badges you would like to have and what DC name you would give each of those badges.
So, super heroes and heroines unite and let us know what badges you want to see!
Depends on how you get the badges? Maybe for watching certain content you get a character related badge like if your watching Batman the animated series you could get character related badges like: The Caped Crusader, the Worlds Greatest Detective, Boy Wonder, the Laughing Fish, and so on. But that’s how it would be with all the shows and comics but idk how the badges are obtained or if members would already have them.
could we have a Book Club Badge? For either DCU BC or DC Daily Book Club. Somthing like comment in the Book Club threads X times and you get it. (If possible).
Some other ideas: TitansT1 Badge (finished Titans S1). A TitansT2 badge (Titans Season 1 and read TNTT #1-20). TitansT3 (Titans T2 + TNTT #21-40). TitansT4 (TitansT3 + The entirety of TNTT and Tales of TNTT)
A doom patrol tiered badge: DPT1(Finish Season 1). DPT2 (Morrison Doom Patrol #19-33) DPT3 (Doom Patrol #34–>) DPT4(all of Morrison DP + Young Animal DP)
A Shazam Tiered badge ST1(Read Shazam! The New Beginnings). ST2 (Power of Shazam #1-25 + T1). ST3(all of Power of Shazam Pre-reboot and the Justice League B story Shazam)
A Rebirth Badge T1(Read X number of rebirth titles) T2(X Number + Dark Nights Metal with Tie ins + Justice League vs. Suicide Squad) T3(Read the Rebirth Highlights list I’ve been working on. I’ll email the working doc to Applejack. Trying to finish it by DC Ultimate’s update)
My original idea of DCU was a place that focused on the interconnectivity of comics. The focus on not only the TV part but the source material)
Worlds greatest detective badge: Answer X questions in the community boards.
Corps badge: share an original creation in the community
Fastest man alive: be the first to leave a review on a comic, episode, or movie
Zero year: pre order DC universe
Year one: buy a one year subscription
New 52!: Read 52 or more comics from the new 52 era
It would be cool to have them for reading comic runs or completing tv series. With this app I was thinking of not buying anymore comics since things I’ve wanted to read are on the app. Almost all of the television series and movies are in my home as well. I guess I can pass them onto my nieces.
I would love a few unique badges for certain community members like @MattMcDonald and @JLWWSM for their leadership in book club. A badge that sets those type of people apart slightly since they have done a lot for the community.
I definitely support most of the the ideas here. I want some really out there ones that you have to go through some hoops for, like read a certain group in the encyclopedia and a badge unlocks. Like you unlocked the Justice League badge cause you assembled the characters by looking at their encyclopedia pages.
Can’t wait to see what the badge system ends up looking like. I definitely hope there are a lot of secret ones we don’t know about because that adds to their fun.
This is a repost of something I posted in another thread but it is relevant to this thread as well.

I like the idea of little badges similar kind of to what twitch does. So here are some random ideas for badges.
In no particular order
Length of continuous membership
amount of shows watched/ movies watch/ comics read (different badges for each)
amount of threads made/ comments on threads made (same badge, like an engagement badge)
character specific badges. ( read/watched all the self-titled Aquaman content on DCU get and Aquaman badge and same thing at least for each justice league member) [my lord getting the batman badge would be difficult]
If MetaMadhouse type events continue then perhaps a badge for the character you voted for winning.
Joker Badge (get a mod to chuckle get the joker badge) [might encourage a friendly spirit in the community]
Spectre Badge/ [Insert reference here] Virus Badge (a badge that is given out/spreads in an unknown way)
Finally my personal favorite
The Question Badge (have a wild and crazy conspiracy theory about what is going to happen in a show/ comic that nobody believes but ends up being true.
]
The Superman Badge: being on since day one
Black Canary: Being vocal in the community (leave X amount of comments/feedback)
X superhero badge: read a Y amount of X’s comments (where X is any superhero)
