Hbo Max adds a mountain of content produced by parent company warnermedia. The more you find strange holes in the library, Max adds.
Dc is the place you’d expect to find the movies in the DC extended universe. Birds of prey, man of steel, is the movie that kicked off the whole enterprise.
Hbo Max is a streaming platform exclusively for comic book-inspired content. There is n’t a single Superman adaptation to be found. No Christopher Reeve films, no Superman returns, no animated movie or show, no Smallville or Lois & Clark.
There’s also the vagaries of streaming agreements, where warnermedia’s intellectual property is n’t necessarily available for its own platform until existing contracts expire. Failures of communication, curation, and plain-old neglect combine to form a new status quo in the streaming world it’s not unique to HBO Max, but it makes it harder to understand what HBO Max is or what it’s supposed to be.
