A retailer listing has revealed that downloadable content will add Deathstroke as a playable character in Batman: Arkham Origins. An ad on Amazon indicates that those who pre-order will receive a $10 credit as well as “playable Deathstroke DLC.”

Previous rumors about Origins suggested that the game may have multiplayer that would see you “play as a member of Joker or Bane's gang while trying to take down Batman and Robin.”

That mode is still unconfirmed, and even if it does exist, it’s unclear whether Deathsroke would factor into multiplayer or be part of the single-player campaign.

Deathstroke was previously confirmed as one of the game's eight main villains and appears in the first teaser trailer. This wouldn’t mark the first time a villain has been playable in the franchise, as The Joker was playable in Arkham Asylum for PlayStation 3 players and Catwoman was playable in Arkham City.

We’ve reached out to WB about Deathstroke and will update this story with any comment we receive.

Batman: Arkham Origins will hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Wii U on October 25th. Look out for the first full-length trailer on IGN tomorrow.
