Is Deathstroke the DCEU's saving grace?Denmark Well, no, because Wonder Woman – but kind of yes since Justice Leaguewas such a bust and he's played by Magic Mikealum Joe Manganiello. Manganiello took to Twitter Saturday to wordlessly reveal the first photo of himself in character as Slade Wilson (not to be confused with Wade Wilson, another sword-wielding superhuman named after death), and we have a sneaky feeling we're going to watch that movie.

The end credits of Justice Leagueshowed Deathstroke about to team up with Lex Luthor for a formidable supervillain alliance, an injusticeleague, if you will (you probably won't). As Mashable previously noted, Deathstroke was supposed to appear in a stalled Batman film, so this clip could be setting up sequels to Suicide Squador Justice Leagueitself.
Or here's an idea: Deathstroke as the villain in Wonder Woman 2, so we get some of the DCEU's redeeming characters on screen together (again, all we have is a photo).
In the D.C. Comics, Deathstroke is a master fighter, highly trained by the military and able to use 90 percent of his brain capacity thanks to a biological advancement serum. He became an assassin, a job that eventually got his son killed and made his wife leave him. This sounds like the most intense origin story, but the D.C. creative team doesn't need our help, right??
Justice Leagueis now in theaters, with a big-screen sized Deathstroke after the credits.
