Ben Affleck releases Deathstroke footage on Twitter

[OutOfBoose]

The Joker will be overjoyed, if they go for an Arkham Origins kind of story for Batman solo, I guess. Deathstroke looks nearly identical to that game. I also hope Batsolo happens during winter.

No, it's the fact that actors don't live forever and there's not an unlimited amount of release slots. If Joker is not in this movie it could be 3-4 years until we see him again in a meaty role.

If they were never planning to have the Joker in the solo Batman movie then it makes it even more pointless to have had him in Suicide Squad.

They could have just alluded to there being a Joker out there, but we never get to see him. Only hear Harley talk about him.

No THE RAID style Arkham Asylum film. Nope. Wrong.

Meh. Hope this isn't true.

 

[DeadStroke]

Meh. Hope this isn't true.

Probably the biggest takeaway from all this. Really dug having a movie set in Arkham.

I thought maybe thats why they cut so much of it down in Suicide Squad. Because it crossed over into The Batman's "sandbox"

There's going to be plenty of Joker and other villains to go around, especially now that SSQUAD did well at the BO and there's other rumors of a solo Harley Quinn film. With SSQUAD, The Batman and say, potential Harley and Joker spinoff ' s to come out of it, we could possibly see even more of these characters than just, say, 1 movie that begins and ends in one arc. If there's anything to worry about, it's certainly not that.

I think that was the point of having Joker in SSQUAD. To show us that he's there, but with no ties to the singular point of a team movie. What they showed in flashbacks in SSQUAD showed us how big of a presence Joker and Harley has in Gotham City and their history with the Bat. This world is still being set up in many ways.

 

[Boom]

But at the same time, Affleck's coming with a shelf-life.

That's part of the appeal of the Arkham Asylum concept. Get a lot of Batman's rogues in one movie. So even if we only got one Batman solo film, they'd at least go all-out with it.

Joe M for Deathstroke? People are saying he's in London sporting a "Deathstroke" look then recently followed Snyder on Twitter.

More disturbingly he follows David Ayer. That's dedication and loyalty to WB to see those tweets

Oh yeah. He is Deathstroke.

Joe Manganiello is a good choice for Deathstroke. Although it would've been great to see someone like Matt Damon or Brad Pitt or Ron Perlman in the role but Joe works just fine for me.

I loved his voice work on Teen Titans, but he I would not want him to play him in live-action.

If I was an A list actor I'd not be eager to work with studio which delivers movies that get awful reviews and butchers performances of Academy Award winning actors. Joe is probably the best they could do.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Academy Award winning actors.

On a complete side note, it annoys the **** out of me that people put way to much stock into the Academy Awards. They are ****ing bought and paid for. They really don't mean ****.

typical umberto saying exclusive scoops when it was obviously clear it was for batman solo film

 

[Tra-El]

Something going down on Collider videos in like 5 minutes. John Campea even said we might want to check it out:

We'll be live #ColliderMovieTalk talking #Deathstroke reveal + we'll be dropping a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT. See you in 10

 

[LoganGambit87]

[Tra-El]

They're going live in about 1 min.

Oh, okay. I thought there was going to be some type of tie-in. My bad.

 

[harlequinade]

Apparently Sofia Vergara (Joe's wife) just started following Ben on twitter.

Tumblr be like

 

[OutOfBoose]

I totally see Manganiello's eye in that mask's eye socket.

 

[harlequinade]

Ben what have you done to us today?

 

[Godzillasaurus]

Is it REALLY confirmed that he is the main antagonist in the Batman solo? Or is that just more of Umberto Gonzales' ****? When will the Joker return!?

I think it's just TheWrap saying that and all the other outlets picked it up
