In what is certainly a BIG SURPRISE and literally coming from LEFT FIELD,
Ben Affleck, the
Batman of the
DCEU himself, took to his own official accounts that includes his
Facebook page and released what appears to be test footage of the
DC Extended Universe's own
Deathstroke making his
DC Films debut, and it could be for next year's
Justice League!
Now it's possible that Affleck is just playing around and teasing, but this is just too good to be wasted, and we haven't seen a live-action Deathstroke since the character was featured as the primary villain for the second season of
The CW's Arrow TV Series (where he was played by
Manu Bennett). Time will tell what the official word is, and Ben Affleck is also directing his own Batman flick which doesn't have any details yet, and it could be a teaser for that - after all, Batman and Deathstroke have a long storied rivalry depicted in comics and different forms of media, including an intense fight in the video game
Batman: Arkham Origins!
Justice League will be released on November 17, 2017.
