I did not see a sliver of cheese anywhere in that trailer.
I canNOT wait.
It looks great. Tone is perfect.
But it still doesn't tempt me to subscribe. I'll wait for the inevitable DVD release. I'm not going to subscribe to a new service for one show. Not unless the price comes way, way down.

DCU is a good deal, IF:
You also want to watch other shows: Titans, Doom Patrol and (also forthcoming) Stargirl.
I have yet to start Doom Patrol, but all I hear are raves. Titans I've not finished; I like it, but I imagine you'd hate it, since it's Snyder-esque. And by that, it's gritty and violent. Early on, Robin stabs a guy in the crotch with his own blade. It feels a lot like a show directed by Snyder, which surprised me because he's nowhere near it. I take it as more proof that wholesale rejection to his approach is a fallacy.

You want to have all the previous DC live-action and animated films available in one house. They're all there.

You want to read comics from the DC library, which has swelled to 20,000 and counting.
They also recently offered 20% off the annual rate. Not sure if that promotion has ended.

None of that tempts me.

The only ones I care to watch, I already own on DVD. I have enjoyed a lot of DC's animated TV shows and direct-to-video movies, but even those have been declining in quality, and I just haven't loved any of their live-action TV shows yet.

That might be tempting if the price tag were far, far lower. But honestly, between the collection I already own and a decent public library, I can generally find anything I want to read.
And if I'm going to pay a subscription fee to read comics, it'll be Marvel. I love the Batman universe, but aside from that, nothing in DC comics has held my attention for long.
The question was raised in the Endgame thread, where does Marvel go from here?
Well, where else will Marvel and Disney go but continue to crank out movies audiences want to see?
There's plenty of movies coming out so there is absolutely no danger of running out of movies or ideas. As long as they continue to make money, Disney will make them.
As Variety executive editor Brent Lang points out, “Avengers: Endgame” should have a vibrant second life in streaming beyond the box office. “It’s a huge shot in the arm for Disney+,” Lang says, “because it can legitimately say, ‘We’re going to have this title that everybody loves and we’re going to have it exclusively.’”
In addition to being the exclusive home for all Marvel movies from 2018 and on, Disney+ at launch will have at least three Marvel live-action original shows: “Falcon and Winter Soldier,” “WandaVision,” and “Loki.” All three of those series are set up by the events that unfold in “Avengers: Endgame,” which is a savvy way for Disney to keep existing Marvel fans as well as lure potential new fans who may have missed out on the 22-movie Marvel Cinematic Universe, but could see these shows as a fresh opportunity to begin following the franchise.
On the box office side, Disney has already announced a slew of sequels and prequels for the next few years: “Spider-Man: Far From Home” in 2019; “Dark Phoenix” (an X-Men movie starring Sophie Turner from “Game of Thrones”) in 2019; “Black Panther 2;” “Guardians of the Galaxy 3;” “Doctor Strange 2” and more.
