Deathstroke was named as The Batman's villain last summer and Joe Manganiello was cast as the one-eyed hitman, but there could be a twist in this tale.

Matt Reeves is believed to be overhauling Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns's script for the film, and it's unclear whether Slade Wilson will survive through the extensive rewrites.

Adding to the uncertainty, The Batman's production schedule has shifted since Manganiello signed up, so who knows whether he's able to fulfill his commitment?

“Umm. Maybe. We’ll see,” was his coy response when Pittsburgh Today Live asked him whether he is still playing Deathstroke in The Batman.

Well, that's cleared that one up.
