From late March 15 through March 29, fans will be able to see the first episode of Titans , the show that brings the teenage heroes of the DCU together. The series stars Dick Grayson (Robin), Raven, Hawk, Dove, Starfire and Beast Boy.

Doom Patrol brings the misfits of the DCU together in a new series that is currently in the middle of its first season. The team consists of Robotman, Cyborg, Crazy Jane, The Chief, Negative Man, and Elasti-Woman. Here's the official synopsis of the Doom Patrol series:

DOOM PATROL reimagines one of DC's most beloved groups of Super Heroes: Robotman a.k.a. Cliff Steele (BRENDAN FRASER), Negative Man a.k.a. Larry Trainor (MATT BOMER), Elasti-Woman a.k.a. Rita Farr (APRIL BOWLBY) and Crazy Jane (DIANE GUERRERO), led by modern-day mad scientist Niles Caulder a.k.a. The Chief (TIMOTHY DALTON). Each member of the Doom Patrol suffered a horrible accident that gave them superhuman abilities, but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found their purpose through The Chief, coming together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence. Following the mysterious disappearance of The Chief these reluctant heroes will find themselves in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg (JOIVAN WADE), who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of superpowered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them.

And finally, the first episode of the third season of Young Justice will be available for free. The first two seasons is some of the best animated content from DC Entertainment and you'll be able to see where "The Team" is up to years after the end of season 2.

DC Universe is available to stream on the official site or on its apps. You can download the DC Universe app on iOS and Android, and is available on Roku.
