If there is a film in the universe "DC"Worth exciting expectations (although this is very controversial after the failed paintings"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Suicide squad"), This is definitely a solo Batman movie directed by none other than Batman himself, ie Ben Affleck. In film "Batman v superman"Affleck shone in the foreground, and the list of his achievements as a director, unlike the popularized Zach Snyder, is quite good, which is cause for joy.
The use of the Dark Knight as the protagonist of films (with the exception of the movie "Batman and robin"), so it is difficult to imagine that"DC"Will blend the canon character of the characters with their commercial-oriented appearance.
An exciting addition to the film is the main villain, Deathstroke, played by Joe Manganiello. This character, also known as Slade, has never appeared in a feature film before. For those who are not familiar with the villain, below are 5 reasons why Deathstroke's debut is worth seeing... Also check out our 10 Best Batman Movies.
1. Tragic past
Deathstroke is one of those villains whose story is so gripping that it could easily make a hero out of him. During the days when he was still known as Slade Wilson, Deathstroke joined the US Army and proved to be such a capable fighter that the instructor in new combat techniques, Captain Adeline Kane, could not help but fall in love with him. They married, but were forced to leave, as Deathstroke was sent to fight in Vietnam.
He gained his superpowers through participation in a secret experiment and soon after became a mercenary. Ultimately, all this was the reason for the abduction of his son and the loss of the ability to speak. Adeline blamed Slade for what happened and even tried to kill him, but was only able to blind him in one eye. This explains why Deathstroke only wears the factory mask on one side of his face.
2. Abilities
While Deathstroke's backstory hasn't been revealed in full, there will surely be a lot to see when it comes to battling Batman. In battle, Deathstroke is such a bad guy fully armed, an expert in martial arts, possessing enormous strength, speed and endurance obtained through a secret experiment. The experiment also rewarded him with the ability to heal.
In a short time, Deathstroke can recover from many injuries, but his irreparable blindness in one eye shows that strength still has its limits. Perhaps the most surprising thing about his power is that Deathstroke falls into an insane, animal-like state during his recovery. If such a scene is not included in the film, it will be a significant disadvantage.
3. Previous television appearances
Most likely, viewers know more about Deathstroke than they think. Under his second name Slade, he appeared in the animated series “Teen Titans", Acting as a terrifying and mysterious adversary for several seasons.
And more recently, in the role of a villain, he again appeared in the television series "Arrow", Which also involved his former army friend Billy Wintergreen, who is an important link to Slade's past. These and many other images of Deathstroke provide a good indication of the atmosphere of evil and intrigue that surrounds him.
4. Possible allies
Deathstroke is a strong contender for multiple appearances in the universe "DC", Since he is presented as the main villain and confronts many heroes, including the entire Justice League. Sometimes Deathstroke became an ally of Ra's al Ghul and Lex Luther.
On the one hand, this could play into the hands of a future criminal association, and on the other hand, it could contribute to a violent discord, since all these characters are too selfish to tolerate someone else for a long time.... But at a certain point, in an attempt to kill Luthor, Deathstroke recruits his own super-villainous team of Titans, which delights the audience.
5. Impermanence
Deathstroke's most surprising quality is its unpredictability. From time to time, he adheres to something vaguely reminiscent of the mercenary code, but often for his own benefit, he betrays both his own beliefs and alleged allies.
Clashes with members of an alternative universe, the American crime syndicate and many others sometimes prompted him to take the side of good, and the relationship with Lex Luthor often teetered on the brink of confrontation. In the main, Deathstroke pursues only his own interests and does not hesitate when it comes to betrayal, which could contribute to the surprisingly complex character of the villain. In this vein, the universe "DC"Takes precedence over Marvel.
