Max has announced the films, series, and specials that are coming and leaving the U.S.-based streaming service in Dec. 2024, and a collection of acclaimed, fan-favorite DC Comics-based animated series will be part of the titles leaving. Teen Titans will be removed on Dec. 29, 2024 and Teen Titans Go!, Static Shock and Green Lantern: The Animated Series will all follow on Dec. 31, 2024. No explicit reason was given for the removal of all three programs.
Max and Warner Bros. Discovery describe the departing animated shows as follows:
Teen Titans
Fighting for truth, justice and the last slice of pizza, these five teenage heroes are living proof that a hero is never too young to save the planet. Protecting Earth and beyond, the Teen Titans use martial arts and gadgetry to battle villains, giant monsters and alien invaders – and still find time to argue over who will do the dishes.
Teen Titans Go!
This follow-up to the popular Teen Titans series takes a more comedic look at the superheroes, showing what life is like for the teens when their capes come off. Teen Titans Go takes a comedic look at the superheroes’ lives. Viewers finally get the opportunity to watch what life is like for the super teens when their capes are left at home and they have to deal with everyday issues.
Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Based upon the DC Comics super hero, Green Lantern: The Animated Series follows Earth’s Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, who is used to being in dangerous situations – but never anything like this! In the farthest reaches of deep space, Hal patrols the Guardian Frontier, where he must face down invasions from the evil Red Lantern Corps., who have sworn to destroy the Green Lanterns and everything they stand for.
Static Shock
An ordinary inner-city kid gains extraordinary powers and becomes an urban legend as the first teenage African-American superhero in this series based on the popular DC Comics character, Static Shock, when Virgil Hawkins, a smart, funny high school freshman, transforms into a new breed of superhero with amazing electromagnetic powers after being exposed to a strange gas.
In Dec. 2022, Max announced Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited would be removed from the service, but public backlash resulted in the decision being reversed. Teen Titans has been a part of Max since it launched on May 27, 2020 under its original moniker, HBO Max, with Teen Titans Go! following soon after on Dec. 18, 2020. Green Lantern: The Animated Series was added to Max on Jan. 1, 2021, followed by Static Shock on Feb. 15, 2021.
