I'm just wondering how stupid and nonsense these streaming contracts are that apparently they absolutely couldn't have the Nolan Batman movies in December but November and January were fine. Streaming services want the sub revenue and I'm guessing that December is a big month due to the holidays.

Streaming services want the sub revenue and I'm guessing that December is a big month due to the holidays. Pretty much. There’s still going to be some weird years where some stuff is exclusive somewhere else for a bit because of contracts signed internationally and all that sort of business. NBC is pretty much the exception because a) they don’t have the same brand awareness to launch Peacock like a Disney or even a HBO and b) it’s easier to get revenue for stuff if you get it in places internationally rather than try to launch it wholesale. Like how The Good Place is somehow a “Netflix Original” in Europe which...no?

It's over, HBO Max has won the streaming wars. Not until it launches outside the U.S. I don’t expect it to launch in Canada for a long time, if ever. HBO has a pretty tight relationship with Bell here and their CraveTV app. Hell, Crave+HBO is a premium subscription that gets you on demand access to new HBO shows and access to the linear HBO Canada channels, I don’t see that changing for a long while

I got a free trial of this but it keeps telling me that it can't play the movie or show i want to watch and to try again later. But I suppose I am getting what I paid for.

Is a little odd, though I'm not exactly complaining, that they have Batman the Animated Series grouped as one show. DC Universe had it divided into three separate ones.
Though the episode order on here is very weird. For some reason they have the show in broadcast order, which has the effect of putting The Cat & The Claw Part 1 as the premiere and Part 2 not until seven episodes later.
Granted that does also put the show ending at Mad Love instead of Judgment Day which is certainly the more appropriate conclusion. Not that Judgment Day is a bad episode by any means but it is kind of a random one to close on.

Signed up for HBO Max over the holiday break - since I get HBO, my cable provider basically gives it to me for free after a log in - and it's........very nice.
It works a lot like Tubi, which I like so the main setup of the service is a big plus.
So far I've binged Harley Quinn season 2 and that's that for now.
My biggest problem: the rewind/fast forward feature absolutely stinks. Weakest of any streaming service I've used. Crashed on me a few times.

Soooo Premier Access pretty much, right? Eh, doesn’t seem like it indicates anything like that as of right now. If anything, there’s more emphasis on encouraging cinema attendance which...not sure how well that’ll go but I’m not the one organizing all this.

So Legendary must have signed a pretty sweet deal with Warner Bros. Godzilla vs. King Kong is coming to Cinemas and HBO Max two months early, March 26th instead of May 21st.

HBO Max are looking into reviving Batman: The Animated Series They'll just ruin it by trying to shoehorn Jason Todd and Hush into the narrative.

HBO Max are looking into reviving Batman: The Animated Series Gaaaaaaah. Conceptually I think it's a great idea, in practice going by Fatal Five and Batman & Harley Quinn they'll drive it into the ground. Also this'd definitely shove Batman Beyond into being non-canon. I can't see them going without doing more Mr. Freeze or wanting to stick to a definitive write out for Harley and Joker and they would definitely nonsensically crowbar in Damian and Jason.

Should be said one of the people involved didn't say it was actually being worked on but there were talks so it could just be like that X-Men return that probably won't happen at Disney+

Also this IS 201x's-and-up Bruce Timm we're talking about.
Expect Harley to be villainess over half the episodes, or replace Batgirl in the Bat Family.
Oh and Batman gets to bang everyone. And other things to show how ADULT we are now.

I'm not trusting Timm to have it be anything but bad filled with Bruce and Barbara making out and Harley being shoved into every episode
