No Deathstroke In The Batman? Put Him In Chris McKay’s Nightwing Then

Another week, another DCEU rumor. This time, fans have lost their minds wondering whether Joe Manganiello's Deathstroke will be appearing in Matt Reeves' The Batman or not. To be fair, Reeves himself probably doesn't know yet, either, as he's likely rewriting the script as we speak, so it's all up in the air at the moment.

It Sets Up The Teen Titans In The DCEU

Recommended Videos

As mentioned before, Dick and Deathstroke have had beef since the Teen Titans days. If you ever watched the original animated series from 2003, you’ll be aware of how big a role Slade had in the popular program. At times it even felt like it should’ve been a Deathstroke featuring the Teen Titans show.

So far, we haven’t seen any hint that the famous superhero team will appear in the DCEU, but anything is possible at this point. One thing’s for sure, though: if Dick versus Slade turns out to be well-liked, you can be damn certain that the Warner Bros. execs will be licking their chops at inserting the Teen Titans into the mix.

It’s a no-brainer, really. Even though there’s a live-action Teen Titans TV series set to come out in the new year, we’d all go nuts for a full-length feature film as well. At this stage, the more characters introduced into the universe, the merrier – and Slade as the antagonist in Nightwing might prove to be the key in unlocking the door for all these great heroes to come out and play.
