Taking on his evil mirror seems like a logical place for post-BvS batman to go in his solo movie.

They should combine the evil mirror cliche with the inverse color scheme cliche that Flash and Dr. Zoom have going on and have Deathstroke dress all in white.

Reverse-Batman would be bright gold with a black logo and utility belt. That would be something.

E) Your parents killed Batman's parents
F) You were killed by your parents
G) The only thing you were not afraid of as a child was bats, so when your parents were killed you said "I must become a everything that isn't a Bat"

This is just me making wild and silly speculation, but if Deathstroke's a mercenary then presumably the plot of the film will revolve around someone paying him to take out Batman, which means there's probably gonna be a secondary string pulling villain. Either that or a cabal of gangsters, but that's played out.

I definitely was getting confused reading this page thinking Deathstroke was Will Smith's character in Suicide Squad.

Don't even start man, DCTV is about to completely butcher the Prometheus name/character.

Prometheus always loving sucked. From day 1. His gimmick doesn't even make sense. He "downloads" fighting styles? And somehow he "downloaded" Batman's fighting style? Where the gently caress did he get that from? Also there's absolutely nothing about him that is reminiscient of the greek mythology Prometheus so his name makes no sense either.

The wettest fart of a comics panel. Probably one of my least favorite comics panels ever.



Where the gently caress did he download Stephen Hawking from? The way he shouts it at him like that. I hate this panel. It's such an un-earned victory too since earlier in the comic Batman got his rear end kicked and for some reason Prometheus didn't kill him.

I'm breathing a massive sigh of relief that the Affleck Batman movie villain isn't going to be Jared Leto's Joker or the Red Hood. That being said, as cool as Deathstroke is I'm betting there is going to be another villain in the mix because what would a mercenary like Deathstroke be up to by himself?

That fits the DCEU's new Joker aesthetic as a mob guy and not as some supernatural force of chaos.

If you're upset about that let's remember: that is what Jack Nicholson's Joker was, too.

Seriously, DC knows Joker makes cash and SS marketing proves it. I'd bet the price of admission he shows.

I actually know the answer to this because I asked it before: no! He's a serial killer with an elaborate plan to kill people at the stroke of midnight or some such. He becomes more of a clown gangster later, I think.

Sounds like in addition to downloading fighting styles he's got some sort of digital compression superpower.
