The notorious mercenary will be the main antagonist in Affleck’s standalone Batman film, in which he’s both starring and directing, reports TheWrap.
Deathstroke, an assassin with superhuman strength, speed and agility, first appeared in comic book form in 1980 but did not cross paths with Batman until a 1991 comic.
The villain is also rumoured to be making an appearance in next years’ Justice League movie.
