The comic writer/executive/producer confirmed both the casting and the character’s role in the upcoming untitled Batman film.
The news comes to us from The Wall Street Journal, which recently had the opportunity to interview DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Geoff Johns.
Johns was also asked if there’s a chance we could see Deathstroke making his first big screen appearance in Zack Snyder’s in-production Justice League movie, but he declined comment.
That particular project doesn’t yet have a release date, but Ben Affleck and Johns are currently collaborating on the script, and it’s unlikely that we will see the finished product any time before 2018.
