HBO Max To Carry Loads Of DC Programming

Last Tuesday WarnerMedia spent the afternoon making programming announcements for its upcoming streaming service HBO Max, which included a load of content tied to DC characters: movies, existing series, and new programming.

The outlines of the service had been previously revealed in July, but WarnerMedia is now filling in the blanks just in time as rival Disney puts the final touches for its Disney+ service, which launches this November.

The HBO Max service will launch in May 2020 at $14.99 per month, the same price as subscribers currently pay for HBO on its own.

When it comes to movies, HBO Max will carry every DC and Batman film from the last 40 years, and all of the DC films from the past decade at launch.

But the cherry on the cake will be HBO Max’s TV programming, beginning with all the CW DC-based series; each season will drop on the service one month before the following season premieres.

A number of new shows are also planned. DC uber-producer Greg Berlanti is creating two new shows for the service, according to The Hollywood Reporter. One will feature Green Lantern, a character Berlanti is familiar with; he co-wrote the 2011 film, generally considered a flop. The other will be a Strange Adventures anthology series, which will feature one-hour dramatic episodes.

Elizabeth Banks is developing DC Super Hero High, which will follow a group of students at a boarding school for gifted kids who don’t yet know they will be superheroes.

DC Universe series Doom Patrol was given the go ahead for a second season for both HBO Max and DC Universe. The exact nature of the relationship between HBO Max and DC Universe has yet to be revealed, although it’s clear at this point that DC Universe will continue to exist.

Non-DC library content for HBO Max includes other geek shows: Rick and Morty, South Park, Doctor Who, Big Bang Theory, and anime curated by Crunchyroll, according to Variety.
