Two years after it launched as a home for scripted originals and library content, DC Universe is officially exiting the scripted landscape and transitioning to a comics-centric platform.

But there is good news that comes with the change: All of the platform's scripted originals and library titles will move to fellow WarnerMedia-backed streamer HBO Max.

That process had been stalled by the major executive shake-up at the streamer that saw senior leaders Bob Greenblatt and Kevin Reilly pushed out and oversight of the platform given to HBO's Casey Bloys.  That all of the original scripted and library offerings on DC Universe would move to HBO Max comes as little surprise.

The platform stopped buying months ago and originals had been slowly moved elsewhere.

DC Universe had also been home to a growing roster of library titles.

The service, for example, launched two years ago with offerings including the original Wonder Woman, the Batman animated series, Superfriends, Birds of Prey, Teen Titans (2003), Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Constantine, Batman Beyond, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Batman: The Animated Series and the Justice League animated series, among others. It's unclear which of those will make the move and when as dealmaking to move platforms remains part of the ongoing process.

The subscription service launched earlier this year and, starting with Batwoman, is the streaming home for other DC series that launch on The CW with Superman & Lois also getting a second window on the platform

Abrams is also developing the Justice League Dark universe as an HBO Max TV franchise for the streamer.   On the library side, HBO Max is already home to a roster of DC titles including features Suicide Squad, Joker, Justice League, Shazam, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and, yes, Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn
