Deathstroke should've been the bad guy in Suicide Squad. Could have been a covert op to take out a well known villain, who had ties to the Squad and Waller.

Would've been way more conducive to the type of mission they would go on, instead of having some ridiculous out in the open extinction level event that should've called for Superman.

Here is the Deathstroke costume from Arrow:



And the Arkham games:

My only experience with him is Arkham Origins. Probably the best part, but he was also the first boss.

Helmet looks a little big. Tiny eye.

This guy was born to play Deathstroke

I thought he was born to play Cable. Maybe too old?

To think, Ike Clanton actually went on to redeem himself.

Deathstroke is a great choice for a Batman villain because he's a guy who is a better fighter than Batman, which will force Batman to have to beat him using strategy.

Done well Deathstroke can be one of DC's best villains (e.g. see Arrow). Hopefully they adapt him well.

Maybe awful is the wrong word. I've always been a fan of simpler, like the Arrow Deadstroke outfit. Just all the random orange stripes look funny to me.

I agree that Death Stroke would be a fun character for a batman movie, though I'm curious where he would fit into a Justice League movie.

I'm not super familiar with the character, but he doesn't strike me as the sort of big bad you need the justice league for, and he doesn't strike me as anyone's errand boy, either.

I think the Justice League enemy was a misnomer, I think he's going to be the main villain of the Batman movie.

But that footage was obviously JL filming, do he had to work in somewhere. Breaking out Lex, maybe?

The suit looks okay, but is very Iron Man-ish. I'm reminded of how awesome the season one teaser of Deathstroke was in Arrow. DC really hasn't set themselves up well in competing with their TV properties. Deathstroke is a great example of a character that could have crossed over very well between big and small screens.

Not "obviously" Justice League. Deathstroke has been confirmed as of this morning as the villain in the standalone Batman movie, and that looks more like a screen test to me than actual filming. I'm almost positive that this is NOT Justice League related.

Well, that's good. Hard to believe that they're screen testing things this early. When does it start filming? Given DC's history, I'd say it is almost certain that we see Deathstroke before the Batman film.

I had missed the whole "lots of villains" thing. This smells like a Deathstroke-sponsored "villains unite to kill the bat" type of thing.

This was the plot of one of the Arkham games (Origins maybe). It came off really well in the video game, but this is WB/DC we are talking about

Origins had Black Mask put a multi-million dollar bounty on Batman and 8 of the supposed best assassins came to try to collect including deathstroke and deadshot.

Which I thought was great!

But then it devolved into Joker and Bane.

That's like barely a step above the guy who played him on tv...

I'm guessing Deathstroke isn't the main villain

Which pretty much confirms we won't see Deathstroke on Arrow again. Not that Manu Bennett was terribly interested in returning anyways based on what he has said in the past IIRC.

Speaking of DCU villains... rumor is that Aqua Man's villain is a dude named Black Manta who is supposedly actually pretty cool, and the front runner is this guy:

Lots of encouraging stuff in that link. New creative forces in charge of the DCU, justice league is now 1 movie instead of two, I just hope their rewrites of the films currently in production (Wonder Woman, justice league) are successful and don't result in disjointed messes.

And possibly more importantly involving genuine comic people in story. Seems promising.

Ahhh, and so it begins...as inevitable as the pimping of the longhorns as title contenders after one victory, hope springs from the ashes of BvS and Suicide Squad as soon as news of the next DC movie hits the streets....

aren't they already shooting Wonder Woman. and BvS just came out on video and Suicide Squad is still in theaters and they're already saying those were disjointed messes? Why didn't they see this a couple of months ago?

Sounds like a reaction to poor reviews... I don't think they know what they're doing. "What? it's too dark, let's lighten it up" In a couple of years (months) it will be "what? it's too light, lets darken it up again"

Of course that's what they're doing. They tried it one way (dark) and found out that it wasn't a popular choice, so they're fixing it (lightening).

Wonder Woman is done shooting I believe. Gal Gadot finished initial filming back in May from what I can tell.

but didn't they do this with the Batman films of the 90(ish)? First Batman by Tim Burton was dark as well as the second. Then they go lighter and more campy after that.... which was terrible, terrible, terrible mistake. terrible.

I just don't have much confidence in WB execs when it comes to Batman. They need to just let the director do his thing and hopefully they do that with Affleck's batman (I can't believe I just wrote that)

I'm not overly excited about the DCEU anymore (thanks BvS!) but here's our first look at Mera.
