Justice League: 10 Ways Deathstroke Could Appear In The DCEU

10. Introducing The Bat

Justice League has an ensemble made up of (at least) six major heroes, and even if we get another 2.5 hour epic (and with Warner Bros. breathing down Zack Snyder's neck that's unlikely), we're going to need some economical introductions of all the key heroes, especially those we've met before.

For Batman V Superman, Snyder went with a more typical "Bats stopping crime" intro (something that doubled as a homage to the 1940s TV series), but now we're really expanding the world it might be a good idea to bring in a member of his rogues gallery to further personify Gotham and Bruce's war on crime. Deathstroke would be perfect to do this; a violent, uncompromising adversary who highlights how still in the grip of crime the city is, before Bats comes down hard on him.

Of course, this needn't be the last we see of Deathstroke in the DCEU - just because he's locked up now doesn't mean he can't fester in Blackgate before returning as a full-on adversary down the line.
