DC Comics characters populate several TV shows and movies on different platforms -- such as the Arrowverse on The CW and DC Films -- and HBO Max's chief content officer says they all fall within a shared continuity.

Casey Bloys, chief content officer for HBO and HBO Max, told TheWrap that WarnerMedia is taking a different approach today. "In the past, you know with The CW, DC would run on The CW, [Warner Bros.] would do films [but] there wasn't a lot of overlap or coordination," Bloys said. "And a big thing going forward for WarnerMedia, and DC specifically, is having everybody involved in DC talking, so that a show on Max is aware of a movie, and is aware of a CW show. They're all kind of working in concert so that there's nobody overlapping. There's no stories that don't make sense as a result of that. So they've been trying very hard to kind of get that going."

This new goal allows for the films to co-exist with the Arrowverse and with planned HBO Max shows like Peacemaker, Green Lantern and Gotham City PD -- the TV show spinoff of The Batman film -- as they take place in their own universes. "You don't have to pick one or the other, you can love both. And they do both exist in this great Multiverse. I do think that moving forward, there's more opportunities for us to do this sort of stuff," Bloys said.

Referring to portrayers of Wonder Woman, Aquaman and The Flash in film, Bloys said, "On one Earth, you have Gal [Gadot] and Jason [Momoa] and Ezra [Miller], as this Justice League and you can continue telling these stories, while on another Earth, you can have a more grounded, real, Year Two Batman. There is that one Earth, that greater Earth with this existing Justice League and another that's sort of happening with that Year Two Batman."

"And of course there's outliers like Joker, that doesn't exist on either Earth, but that's OK," he concluded. "Matt Reeves can continue to build out his Gotham."
