Might we see a live action Slade Wilson in the upcoming BATMAN: DARK KNIGHT? Mattel revealed some upcoming action figures at Toyfair 2008 - and there's Deatshtroke in the DARK KNIGHT movie line of figures!

I'm confident that nolan can direct the movie to bring the best of Deathstroke

Never trust movie directors when it comes to comic book based characters. They all want to put there own twist on the character and end up ruining what the character is all about. Comic characters should not be open to interpetation. They should be portrayed as they are written.

Doubt it's happening but that would be cool. A different villain (not one of his normal rogues) than one we've seen in all the Batman movies and cartoons and one that can challenge him mentally and physically. He should be in another movie.

maybe he'll make a brief appearance in the end of the movie, leading to his inclusion in the third one?

I don't like the new Joker. It does'nt match the Comics version at all.

I know he's not meant to be a Clown. My Point is that if you look at every other Incarnation of Joker, He's never looked this Sinister but maybe thats just me.

Maybe it will end on him, You know like how they ended on the joker last time, It ends with Slade this time it would be cool!

yeah I thought the same. Besides some people already know Slade because of the TT show, so it's not as if he doesn't have at least a little reputation to people who don't read comics like the scarecrow and ra's al ghul

Your Crazy! The Dark Knights Joker is better then any other Joker in this world! I prefer this joker over any other that any director has ever done! You should go watch it, you will be amazed, I promise that.

I can't disagree with you there, I feel a murderer should be shown as a murderer not as a clown (but then again that would be going against Joker's portrayed character)

Deathstroke in a movie!! Played well I'd love it, turned into a thoughtless thug and I'd hate it.

Deathstroke the Terminator issues 6 - 9 would make a real good movie.

#20 Posted by Melkor (13 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago - Show Bio

So much for that idea. Oh well, maybe we can see him in the next one.

#21 Posted by Apparition (11349 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago - Show Bio

Foot in mouth statement, made well before the movie came out! The movie, and the Joker kicks absolute A$#! Never pass judgement till you've actually watched/scene what your passing judgement on!

tsk, I wish. Im a big fan of Deathstroke but hes not going to be on the big screen anytime soon.

#26 Posted by Melkor (13 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago - Show Bio

We can hope they have him hunting batman while batman is chasing clayface or some other nasty in the next one.

#27 Posted by Gambler (80653 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago - Show Bio

I think Deathstroke is one of the easier Bat-villains to bring to the big screen without being cheesy.

Not Death Stroke Deadshot. Now don't get me wrong i love Death Stroke but i heard that Deadshot was gonna be in the next movie

#30 Posted by NightFang (9223 posts) - 4 years, 4 months ago - Show Bio

I love Deathstroke but he should be saved for the Teen Titans and that Deadshot, Hugo Strange, Black Mask, Catwoman or the Riddler should be in the next movie.
