With Ben Affleck releasing the Justice League video, it’s wondered where is the footage from?
Obviously as Zack Snyder is filming Justice League, it seems likely Deathstroke will be appearing in the film.
Further evidence of Deathstroke in Justice League may actually come from that one set image a while back that Zack Snyder released of the Justice League costumes (see below) which seemingly features Deathstroke’s armor and costume.
The footage may also feature Deathstroke in the Justice League Flying Fox hellicarrier which set visits revealed was retrofitted from an old Wayne Technologies project. The Justice League Flying Fox hellicarrier is a plane that has three levels, with the bottom housing the Batmobile, seats on the walls, and a ramp that lowers. The second level has a cockpit with a gun (Justice League movie concept art featuring Alfred as the gunnery) and an armory of weapons. The third level also has the main cockpit where two pilots can sit.
“It’s big enough for the Batmobile and it can house other of the Bat gadgets. It’s definitely its own self contained, fantastic piece of equipment,” producer Charles Roven said about the Justice League Flying Fox hellicarrier in a previous interview.
Regarding why Deathstroke might be on the Flying Fox is unknown, but fans are already theorizing that perhaps Steppenwolf creates an army of Metahumans. Is Deathstroke their leader?
via reddit:
“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as an Atlantean.
Earlier saw Ben Affleck tweet out video of Deathstroke, which may be for the Justice League movie or the solo Batman flick.
Deathstoke, aka Slade Wilson, was created back in 1980 created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. The character was originally a primary villain of the Teen Titans, but has since been made to be a villain of Batman as well as Green Arrow. Deathstroke is an assassin and mercenary, who was given powers by a secret experimental serum. Powers for Deathstroke include superhuman strength, agility and an expert at martial arts.
Deathstroke was most recently played by Manu Bennett on Arrow, but the character was taken off the air because WB wanted Deathstroke for another project, which now looks to be either Justice League or The Batman (or both).
The inclusion of Deathstroke in the DCEU may even suggest Nightwing and the Titans exist. Interestingly enough, a live action Titans TV series was recentlys scrapped. Maybe to make way for the Titans in the DCEU as well? Geoff Johns did confirm huge plans are in store for the Titans.

Following up on the last batch of DCEU rumors, which interestingly enough did list Doug Liman as directing a DC movie (but not Justice League Dark), now the latest rumors also include DC TV shows.
Worth a mention is that the rumors state WB may be eyeing more serious takes on DC TV characters akin to Game of Thrones with shows on HBO. It’s also said some of the new rumored TV series might tie into the DC movie universe as well.
Other rumors mention Zack Snyder off Justice League 2; Man of Steel 2 definitely happening and without Snyder; George Miller eyed for a Jack Kirby property (New Gods was previously rumored); Suicide Squad 2 in the works; the Green Lantern Corps movie would be based on Geoff Johns’ Sinestro War (would be awesome!), and lots more.
Obviously take these with a grain of salt as a reddit user put together the following list from 4Chan:
Booster Gold is still in the works, treated more as a Deadpool February release film. No production date set.
Lobo is currently up in the air, being eyed as a potential TV series set in the DCEU movie universe.
Deathstroke no longer in the works. Ayer wanted to use him in Suicide Squad 2, will have an antagonist role.
Metal Men being eyed as a start for animated DC movies. If Lego Batman is successful, Warner plans to push forward development and Warner Animation Group will create the movie.
WB wants to make a few “in-universe” tv shows for the DCEU, multiple smaller teams and smaller characters being eyed. WB wants these shows to be “premium cable” type shows akin to Game Of Thrones
Fables Movie adapt canceled. Currently being eyed as a television show, although worried it may draw the comparison from Once Upon a Time. Up in the air if it will happen or not.
Sandman movie currently being developed. Giving it as much time as it needs to develop. Could very well be canceled. Joaquin Pheonix approached after Joseph Levitt left.
Sam Raimi being courted to direct a DCEU movie.
100 bullets still in development, although will not at all be marketed as a comic-related movie. Will have the Vertigo banner, but will be along the lines of Kingsman. Was envisioned as a “Sin City” type film, but is currently now a singular story. Will focus on one man’s story with the gun, and have appearances throughout by the Minutemen and the Trust.
The Question being developed for HBO as a smaller scale “gritty noir” show.
Suicide Squad 2 production begins soon, Ayer started writing the script in July, expected to shoot late-spring 2017. Will reportedly be dialed back from SS1, with less CGI, a more human threat, and no pop music at all. Slightly lower budget.
George Miller attracted to making a Jack Kirby property movie, working on Mad Max sequel in-between potential DCEU movie.
Man of Steel 2 is happening, Snyder not returning to direct.
Snyder no longer wants to return to direct JL 2, has opted out. Plans to direct a smaller scale movie for next project.
Shazam to be a one-off movie unless it does extremely well.
Cyborg currently up in the air. If he’s a breakout character in JL, he will get a movie, if not, it’ll be repurposed.
Legion of Superheroes canceled. Deemed “too early” to be developed.
Darkseid could potentially be saved for JL 3, having more background development in other movies for New Gods and Apokolips. New Gods property being heavily eyed as a film.
Green Lantern Corps will be an adaptation of Sinestro Corps War. Will have Guy Gardener, John Stewart, and Hal Jordan as the only human lanterns. Red Lanterns won’t appear but will be teased.
JSA was originally being worked on, expected to be teased in Wonder Woman with them being in WWI instead of WWII heroes. The idea was scrapped due to it not fitting the general plot of Wonder Woman. It was decided to relegate these characters to the CW shows.
Scalped being worked on by WGN network. Was held up with Doug Jung working on Star Trek movie. Jung expected to show run the series. Geoff Johns wrote the pilot.
WB wants to keep a 3-year release schedule with solo movies for A-listers . Wants to keep diversity in the lineup and keep filmgoers interested without being fatigued. On DC Animated movies, plans are to increase production to 4 movies per year. Doing “event” animated movies with a limited theater release ala Killing Joke will probably happen yearly.
Old scripts being revitalized as animated movies might still happen. Batman Beyond script by Boaz Yakin has been floating around.
