We got a chance to speak with Jim Lee, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer for DC Entertainment, at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 and he gave us all the details on this new digital service.
Lee explains that DC Universe will carry a wide array of digital comics that will be curated by the team at DC.

A portion of the curated comics will be specifically selected to showcase the inspirations and tie-ins to the older shows. The new DC show Titans will be the showcase content for the DC Universe subscription. Titans will be overseen by Greg Berlanti and features a story where former Batman sidekick Robin and Raven assemble a team of heroes to deal with a plot to destroy the planet.
