"HBO Max (Streaming Service)" Animation News and Discussion (Spoilers)

[Mostezli]

I would love it to be true, but...We Got This Covered isn't very reliable .

That and "reportedly discussing" is not an announcement of a greenlight.
Just hope that actually is on WBA's minds since it's a relatively recent project.

 

[M.O.D.O.K.]

I'm still bummed they passed on that Superfamily show pitch .

Or the World's Finest pitch. Either concept feels like a no-brainer for a Superman series.

I would love it to be true, but...We Got This Covered isn't very reliable .

Yeah. Plus even if it was coming, it would likely take a while since Giancarlo Volpe is supposed to be working on a show for Nickelodeon, one that I don't think has been announced.

On one hand, the movie Green Lantern was a failure, so WB might not revisit it. On the other hand, WB Animation almost exclusively makes cartoons based on existing properties and are now even rebooting the few original 90s cartoons they had, so they will eventually have to make another Green Lantern cartoon, no? I am not sure if it will be a revival of the 2011 series.

According to Josh Keaton the stores didn't bother to differentiate the Green Lantern merchandising, so they just had mostly movie toys in stock and thus the show supposedly never had an official toyline.
I thought it'd make sense to take a page from Star Wars playbook if this GL anthology wasn't obvious enough.
Two ways to go for a GL animated reboot: TV-Y or TV-MA

A Batman Beyond revival is always going to top my list. I feel there was still so much more story to tell about that World and Terrys journey. Thats the only way TimeWarner gets me to subscribe to HBOmax. Nothing else matters.

 

[M.O.D.O.K.]

For better or worse, I still consider "Epilogue" to be Beyond's finale, but I guess creating more stories for that series is easier to pull off than for B:TAS. Also, it really deserves better than those terrible comics from the past few years.

I'd still prioritize Green Lantern, Beware, or any short non-DCAU series but I'd look forward for more Beyond.

 

[ShadowStar]

Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited would make the most sense... Reviving The New Batman Adventures would be difficult because, as others have noted, much of the voice cast is gone. Teen Titans could be revived, but they would have to put Glen Murakami in charge again, otherwise there would be absolutely no point.

 

[Yojimbo]

Like @RoyalRubble suggested in private, a JLU Beyond series would be a decent compromise. Don't really have to worry about canon too much(/can't screw too much up), explore that gap between Beyond and Epilogue, build on the JLU from The Call and introduce more successors, new heroes, bring back some who are still alive like Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter.

WarnerMedia released the following promotional press release looking at current and upcoming Batman-related titles coming to HBO Max. Note that The Batman is coming to the service starting February 15, 2021. The release is below:

Binging the Bat: HBO Max Adds New Batman Titles to its Lineup​

Here’s some good news: HBO Max now has a lot more Batman shows and movies available for streaming than ever before, with the service freshly adding some of the very best live-action and animated adaptations of the Caped Crusader ever made.

The new Bat-centric offerings include the complete Christopher Nolan-directed Dark Knight trilogy—Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises—plus the seminal Batman: The Animated Series and its popular follow-up, Batman Beyond.

So, what will you watch first?

Young Justice. Which is one of the few titles listed that doesn't start with the word Batman.

Having said that, I'm happy that Sub-Zero and Mystery of the Batwoman -- among others -- are available!

That's a pretty robust list, though I think the only one I haven't seen there is Death in the Family. Though it seems to be the "standard" version plus the shorts, which is disappointing considering what Netflix does with its interactive specials.

And surprising no one, the press release doesn't mention Beware the Batman.

I was kind of wondering whether that had the interactive function .
