Keep it lower budget and R rated.

No reason for a $150 million or more budget.

**** yeah

Fast track that shit

After he passed JL Dark, he pitched this idea to WB. I hope it happens

Could be cool. Nice to see DC's #2 Badass might get his own movie.

Just wait till the average moviegoer sees Deathstroke and snarkily calls him a Deadpool ripoff.

(I'll correct them...explaining he's a ripoff of Taskmaster instead. )

As good as it sounds to have THAT director working with THAT character, it's really starting to feel like, for me at least, WB is so unsure of itself that it's just throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.

You can't build anything without a solid foundation, and the DC movies don't have that yet. WW was a great step in the right direction, but they need to build up that recognition, imo, before they start using more obscure characters, especially those that are villains.

Unless they write him as a kind of anti-hero, but then he seems too much like Deadshot to some people.

It wasn't WB's idea, though. It was the director who pitched the idea of Deathstroke.

I bet he don't wear his mask for more then 5 minutes in the movie

And they still greenlit it. So it's still their fault.



I meant in the vaguest terms. "The gun guy that has a noble purpose but is also a criminal and wears a funky mask" kind of thing.

Not yet. Its still in talks. Anything can happen.

The fact that they're considering it at all worries me.

Lucky you, then.

Supposedly Joe Manganiello posted a pic of his Deathsroke mask on Twitter.

I'm not sure about him. I doubt Evans would use him. Could be wrong, but I hope this goes through. He can make a cheap movie look awesome.

Here is the official DC lineup, per Paris comic-con.

By that Logic, what reason is there for ANY Movie? There was no stance given as to why this shouldn't be a movie, just an opinion.

I'm not sure how your question relates.

Anyway, I don't think he has an interesting enough history/story for a movie.

Definitely not in order, since SHAZAM comes out next. They just casted the guy from Thor: Ragnorak as SHAZAM>

Zachary Levi

Zachary Levi Why can't these comic movies cast people who haven't already been in comic movies?

Anyway, he better bulk up a shitload.

Technically, the movie should be fine. Solid lead actor, good director, and Deathstroke's costume being what it is, they can put a really good stuntman in the suit for the parts of the fights that need to be spectacular.

The problem is whether anyone is going to care or not.

Pretty much. Would have to see a trailer to know just how much interest this would garner.

I see... The lack of Man of Steel 2 on that list is a bit concerning though.

People didn't think the audience would care about Ant-Man, but it made a nice amount of change.

That just shows any character can be given a movie With the right people behind the scenes.

It was an MCU movie. That alone got butts in seats. And what Mindset said.

Hulk was a MCU movie with an A star cast and it bombed. DCEU will be 5/5 for 100 plus opening weekend movies (probably 6/6 after Aquaman) so I wouldn't put it past a Deathstroke movie making decent profit, especually if the movie has a lower budget. Cant say these things until the marketing starts.

He's a well known character and on paper the movies should do well, but people just don't like them.

Not really a good comparison, seeing as how Hulk came out right at the start, and Ant-Man came out in a post Avengers world where you could literally say to someone "it's connected to Avengers", and they would go and see it when they wouldn't have otherwise.

It might make a profit, but that's not the point. He's not going to get the buzz he could get until WB properly establish the universe.

I disagree. Not everything needs to be connected to have good or strong buzz.

...That's not what I said.

You're talking about establishing a shared universe, right? Deathstroke doesn't necessarily need to be apart of that shared universe. It can be a movie all on its own. And besides, it won't be coming out in the near future. Who says the universe won't be established by then?
