The post Justice League, Suicide Squad, and more DC movies are leaving HBO Max but “will be returning” appeared first on Game News.
]]>If you’ve logged on to HBO Max recently, you’ll have noticed that the “Last Chance” category (movies and TV shows that are set to leave the service before July 1) is heavily populated with DC movies.
Justice League, Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman, 1989’s Batman, Batman Returns, Batman and Robin, Batman Forever, Catwoman, Jonah Hex, and The Lego Batman movie (opens in new tab) are all departing. In its place? A new rotation of as-yet-unnamed DC movies.
According to a statement obtained by Observer (opens in new tab), HBO Max will feature “a collection of DC films that will rotate on the platform. We have a new batch coming in July and then another batch coming in August… the batch that is on right now will be returning.”
So, in what is a slightly different tactic compared to some of its competitors, it appears that HBO Max will consistently rotate its library instead of dropping everything on there all at once. It may even give a window of opportunity to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy to enter the fray in July.
One upcoming project that almost certainly won’t be on rotation, however, is the Justice League Snyder Cut (opens in new tab). The HBO Max exclusive is sticking to Zack Snyder’s original vision for the DC team-up movie and will launch on the streaming service in 2021. (opens in new tab)

Remedy’s Sam Lake and Rockstar’s Dan Houser will both work on the titles: Lake was responsible for scripting Paynes 1 and 2 (and, notoriously, for providing Max’s signature lemon-munching scowl in the first game) while Rockstar co-founder Houser is Max Payne 3’s lead writer. Spanish artist Fernando Blanco, known for his work on comics including Army of Darkness and Manhunter, will illustrate, with covers by Greg Horn.
The first Max Payne comic, After the Fall, is set for a free digital launch on the Rockstar (opens in new tab) and Max Payne 3 (opens in new tab) websites in the next few weeks, with the third game itself still set for a mid-May launch. We explored the game’s multiplayer modes in our most recent Max Payne 3 preview (opens in new tab).
