Ben Affleck wasn’t just teasing: Deathstroke will, in fact, be the main antagonist of the Batman standalone movie he’s directing, TheWrap has exclusively learned from an individual with knowledge of the situation.

Earlier this morning, the actor who plays the Dark Knight posted a cryptic tweet of the new villain walking toward the camera in very cinematic fashion, which sent fanboys into a frenzy of speculation.

My guess is solo Batman movie test shots. Batman vs Deathstroke on the big screen?

i like deathstroke. but i'm a marvel guy and don't know him super well. he's kinda like deadpool if i remember? his good guy/bad guy meter depends on who's paying him at the time right?

He's currently filming JL now, so this has to be related to that.

nb4 too many characters comments.

ETA: Nobody posted a pic yet, so I will:

Normally I'd want Deathstroke as a bit player in the JL film, but I trust Affleck and Johns enough to want to see the character showcased in a Batman film.

Either way I want Deadpool to reference it in the DP sequel.

Deadpool is a cheap knock off of Deathstroke because the arse hat that created Deadpool is better known for stealing than anything else.

Granted Deadpool was so bad that he morphed into a parody that made him become beloved. Deathstroke continues to be a poorly used and partily forgotten character that has a strong fanbase because he is awesome when used right (i.e. Identity Crisis).

That guy is a nut job and a complete dick. He's actually a lot like Deadpool.

Rob Liefeld hate lives on. but i was thinking that something like Deadpool was supposed to be a parody of him.

Yes it was a parody. Liefeld has done his share of artistic swipes, but Deadpool was a parody. The Slade/Wade Wilson naming is a dead giveaway that it was intended as parody.

Some more tweets are giving some possible insight.
quote:

John Campea ?@johncampea 6m6 minutes ago Deathstroke looks like test footage. With JL already shot it probably has nothing to do with it and more likely connected to solo Batman.
quote:

DC Extended Universe ?@TheDCEU 14m14 minutes ago .@JoeManganiello follows both @ZackSnyder and @DavidAyerMovies.
There's some speculation that Joe Manganiello might be Deathstroke.

Umberto is also teasing something big about to be announced.

If this is true, the good news is that the Batman film will be more of a straight-up action superhero film and less of a psychological drama.

I'd also love to see Deadshot show up to help out on either side of the fight.

I'm surprised they're going with Deathstroke, but this is great news. About time they use some new characters.

Yea, I like it. An on screen battle between Batman and Deathstroke will be fricking epic. Also, Umberto is saying that the rumor about the Arkham film is not true.
