AT&T’s main streaming service, announced this month as HBO Max, will arrive next spring. With the superhero genre showing no signs of slowing down its blockbuster run, the addition of Batman and the rest of DC’s vault to AT&T’s new service would make sense, analysts say. “DC has a vast library of content they can put on this platform,” said Frank Louthan, a telecommunications analyst at Raymond James. Planning for DC Universe was well underway before AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner went through last summer, and the service went live a few months afterward. The competition in streaming will get tougher in the coming months as the Walt Disney Company enters the fray this fall with a new service, Disney Plus.
