Ben Affleck, known for his role as Batman in the Justice League movies, recently revealed at Zack Snyder’s Full Circle fan event that he had explored different plans on how to introduce Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke to the DC Extended Universe.
Affleck stated that he wanted Deathstroke to have “depth” as an adversary to Batman. He explained that there were multiple ideas he was exploring to make interesting, nuanced, and complex characters, particularly with Deathstroke.
Affleck said that there were two approaches to take when it came to introducing Deathstroke as a villain. Either make one formidable villain or populate the movie with multiple villains, similar to the video game Injustice. He added that he was trying to focus on Deathstroke’s character and make him seem as impressive as possible.
