Even if Manganiello does not make an appearance as Deathstroke in The Batman, it would be rather shocking for him never to bring the character to life on the big screen.
If Deathstroke is kicked out of The Batman, the studio will surely find a spot for him in one of their countless other films being developed.
The current unknown status of Deathstroke in The Batman could stay this way for some time as Reeves is not expected to begin working on the film until later this year.
Hopefully for the sake of Deathstroke fans and Manganiello – who has been extremely excited to bring the character to life – the killer will make his big screen debut sooner rather than later.
