In late January 2023, dark clouds loomed over DC shows such as Doom Patrol and Titans. Both these shows were wildcards in the superhero genre and offered something different. Hence, they held their strong fanbases across four seasons. But unfortunately for those fans, MAX pulled the plug on them, an HBO Max spokesperson revealed.
