The error first came to light when Doug Bass of Charlotte, North Carolina noted it on Twitter. Bass told The Hollywood Reporter he attempted to watch Tom & Jerry, but instead was able to access one hour of Justice League before it was cut off. When Bass went back to play the film, Tom & Jerry played.
Several other users have noted this error, and THR was able to access Justice League via HBO Max. When THR attempted to play Tom & Jerry, at first an error message appeared and then Justice Leauge cut began. When pausing the film, it says you are watching Tom & Jerry.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is one of the most anticipated HBO Max titles of the year.
“I just wanted to put on Tom & Jerry for background noise while I worked and instead I watched an hour of an amazing movie,” says Bass.
Reps for HBO Max were not immediately available to comment.
