All the DC movies and TV series in the works for HBO Max and how they compare to DC Universe's originals

Business Insider

• WarnerMedia's new streaming service, HBO Max, is developing several high-profile projects based on DC Comics properties, such as a spin-off series of "The Batman" movie.
• Meanwhile, the DC Universe streaming service, which has been touted as a community-centric hub for fans, has few original titles.
• Sources close to DC Universe told Business Insider earlier this year that they felt WarnerMedia, DC's parent company, wasn't prioritizing DCU, but that there weren't any immediate plans to phase it out.
• Business Insider rounded up all the DC projects currently in the works for HBO Max.

HBO Max, the new WarnerMedia streaming service, announced on Friday a series commitment to a show about the Gotham City Police Department set in the world of the upcoming movie "The Batman," which hits theaters next year.

It's the latest high-profile DC project in the works for Max. Others include a Justice League Dark series as part of J.J. Abrams' production deal with WarnerMedia and the long-awaited "Justice League" "Snyder Cut."

Meanwhile, WarnerMedia's fan-centric streamer, DC Universe, has few original titles and little has been announced recently about its future. People close to DCU told Business Insider earlier this year that they felt DCU wasn't a priority WarnerMedia, but that there weren't any immediate plans to phase it out.

"Stargirl," which debuted in May on both DC Universe and The CW network, will move exclusively to The CW for its second season. And DCU is already sharing "Doom Patrol," which premiered last year as a DCU exclusive, but is now streaming on both DCU and Max.

Outside of those, DCU has few remaining exclusive titles:

• "Titans" season two debuted in September and has been renewed for a third season.
• The adult animated "Harley Quinn" series recently wrapped up its second season, but there's been no word on a third yet. Collider reported in June that the series would eventually stream on Max, too.
• The animated "Young Justice" series was renewed for a fourth season.

DC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

HBO Max's content chief Kevin Reilly told Business Insider in May that "there have been extensive discussions around DCU because DC is such a valuable entity to us and the depth of fandom is so important."

But HBO Max seems to be the driving force behind WarnerMedia's new DC content right now, and Reilly said to "expect the highest level of cinematic production values on those shows."
