Streaming services are weird. They don't put up everything they should and force to buy elsewhere.

But Smallville isn't on Netflix. Every time I search for it they show me Voltron instead. I've seen that teaser so often I think I'll just give in an watch the show.

That is odd they didn't do some type of deal to get 'Smallville' on there 'cause it is one of DC's longest running TV series and has 10 seasons as Beccy pointed out which would last a lot of subscribers who have never watched the show before months. I am also surprised they don't have the Adam West 'Batman' TV show 'cause while some of us might see it as silly now it was a pop culture phenomenon in the 60s and one of the main reasons Batman went on to become one of the most loved and well known superheroes in history. It is on the Syfy Channel here so maybe Fox don't want to share the rights with anybody else except for them.

My mistake it's not Netflix, it's Hulu. Netflix owns syndication to some CW shows but not Smallville. If the Disney and Fox merger is approved, Hulu will become a Disney property. I don't know what they will do with Smallville and Gotham for that matter since they're DC shows and Disney owns Marvel.

If Smallville, Gotham and Batman 66 are drawing in numbers and audiences, Disney might be reluctant to let them go. On the other hand, Disney is launching its own streaming service soon and that could spell the end for Hulu. Disney might sell some of the shows there and those DC shows could end up on DC Streaming.

I read an article saying Doom Patrol will be a spinoff from Titans. If true, it means Titans, Doom Patrol and possibly Swamp Thing will be in the same universe. But with the status of Robin in the DCEU unclear, I think this will be a separate universe from the DCEU and the Arrowverse.

I think the status of the DCEU is up in the air. They're still making movies, but they still seem to lack direction and logic.

It is interesting to note Disney were one of the main reasons 'Lois and Clark' got cancelled and that was long before they owned Marvel.

But with the status of Robin in the DCEU unclear, I think this will be a separate universe from the DCEU and the Arrowverse. I heard that too. I think it is going to be the set up for a whole new universe and if 'Titans', 'Swamp Thing' and 'Doom Patrol' are successful they will make more shows set in that same universe like the CW Network is doing with the 'Arrowverse' and only that the CW Network has beat them to it I would have said 'Batwoman' is better suited to this universe 'cause of her connection to Dick in the Bat Family and if they weren't making a 'Birds of Prey' movie I would say a new 'Birds of Prey' TV show would be a perfect pick for their new universe 'cause it would give them a female lead show. I still wouldn't mind having a proper 'Birds of Prey' TV show 'cause it would give us a chance to see all the other members the movie will most likely not use.

'Stargirl' Live-Action Drama From Greg Berlanti, Geoff Johns Joins DC Universe SlateGeoff Johns and Greg Berlanti will exec produce the live-action series, which marks the sixth overall for DC Universe. DC Universe is making a big splash at San Diego Comic-Con. The forthcoming SVOD platform opened the confab with a first look at its scripted originals with Titans and on Thursday afternoon unveiled its sixth overall series: a live-action Stargirl. Geoff Johns, who revealed the news during his spotlight panel, will write and executive produce the 13-episode scripted original series via his Mad Ghost Productions banner. The project hails from Warner Bros. Television and Greg Berlanti's studio-based Berlanti Productions, with Sarah Schechter also serving as an exec producer. The series will bow in 2019. Stargirl follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore, who inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. The show reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in a fun, exciting and unpredictable series. Johns and Lee Moder created the character, who was named after the former's sister, Courtney, who died in the 1996 explosion of TWA Flight 800. The character made her first appearance in July 1999's Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #1. In making the announcement, Johns addressed his recent departure as DC's chief creative offer and noted that he would have not been able to write such a deeply personal series if he were still in that executive role. "It’s so personal for me, and to create and run my show … this is the kind of opportunity that I couldn’t have had if I had stayed in that role," Johns said of the series, which he said would be a "PG-13 show." "This is based on my sister. The character is fun and optimistic," he added of the series about a girl whose mom remarries and moves to a new town where she discovers that her step-father was a superhero a long time ago. Johns' sister passed away in an accident when he was younger. "It's about bringing back the legacy of the Justice Society," he added, referring to DC's first superhero team from the comics first published in the 1940s. All told, Stargirl is DC Universe's sixth overall series. The platform, which launches in August, previously announced live-action straight-to-series orders for Swamp Thing; Doom Patrol; Superman prequel Metropolis; Titans; and a pair of animated series from Warner Bros. Animation, Harley Quinn and Young Justice: Outsiders. www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/stargirl-series-latest-addition-dc-universe-svod-service-1128481

It is interesting to note Disney were one of the main reasons 'Lois and Clark' got cancelled and that was long before they owned Marvel. I had no idea Disney had a hand in cancelling Lois and Clark, do you know the reason why? Regarding the rights, I can't see those DC shows remaining with Fox since it's going to merge with Disney. And I think it's for the best if those classic DC shows end up with DC. Speaking of Buffy I was wondering whatever happened to the planned reboot. The last I heard is that Fox is laving up to Joss Whedon on whether to greenlight or not.

Do you think this is a good idea, having three separate DC universes? I am all for seeing more characters appear, but what if there are restrictions on who can appear when on which network? And what are the chances we'd see three versions of one character in three different universes?

You bring up a good point. Though I, hopefully, don't think it will be that big of a problem. Mostly because I doubt everybody will watch every movie and every TV show and those who do will be smart enough to realize they're separate realities.
Also, I think DC is desperate to see what works and what doesn't and is taking the kitchen sink approach.

A stargirl series has been announced for the streaming service. DC execs also said Swamp Thing is set in a different universe from Titans and Doom Patrol.

It is interesting to note Disney were one of the main reasons 'Lois and Clark' got cancelled and that was long before they owned Marvel. From what I understand some of this isn't actually true, Gotham isn't owned in anyway by FOX, same for Lucifer which is why both these shows were on shaky grounds every year because despite ratings WB/DC owns these show so when it comes to international markets and syndication FOX doesn't get a penny for that, all they get is ad revenue that they can sell during the shows commercials, this is why they ultimately canned Lucifer, they didn't want to waste 2 of their limited spots on "outside" productions so they picked one over the other.
BTVS & Batman 66's ownership probably comes down to FOX being production partners in the series, so whilst FOX never aired Buffy they helped make it which gives them a % of ownership in the property, Batman 66 maybe more extreme as FOX aired and produced the show, and as back then DC wasn't owned by a studio or network they may have given up rights to the show, but they seem to retain ownership of the IP from the show as their retro comic and even animated film adaptations to the show indicate.
Smallville I don't think is owned by FOX at all most likely it's just Hulu has the current online broadcast rights which will expire in time, much like how studios sell the broadcast rights of films to networks for a certain amount of years, FOX had no hand in creating or producing the show so they would likely have no grounds to claim ownership of it.
This is the thing though with entertainment the how's and why can be so bloody confusing so this is just my best guess on the current rights of things.

Yeah. Trying to figure out ownership of film and television rights can give you a headache.

Not just 'cause it is a 'Stargirl' show but 'cause Geoff Johns is handling the show himself and with the character being based on his sister I think he is going to make sure we get a great version of the character this time. The version we saw in Season 2 of 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' was very disappointing and nothing like Stargirl at all and it was completely out of character for Courtney Whitmore to want to stay back in the past. The 'Smallville' version was heaps better and Geoff Johns wrote the episodes she appeared in so I think we can expect a lot better this time. My vote is for Sydney Sweeney as Stargirl. I know you are all going to say I am biased but I think Sydney could be great in the role and has the right look.
