The Batman: 5 Stories That Could Influence Ben Affleck's Solo Movie

Chances are, of all of these choices, City Of Assassins will play the largest role in Ben Affleck's Batman. It's a story taken from Deathstroke's ongoing series in the '90s - Deathstroke: The Terminator.

The centre piece of this incredible story is a beautifully drawn, brutally brilliant fight between Deathstroke and Batman, and we can certainly expect some visual references to that in the big act 3 final battle. Of course, in City Of Assassins, Batman and Deathstroke end up teaming together, which could be a really interesting direction for the film to take.

The main battle in City Of Assassins is such a cinematic set piece, it would be a real shame not to use it in the film and it would be a great way to build Deathstroke up as a credible threat to Batman, something that would need to happen as we've already seen Batman beat Superman to a pulp, and let's face it - at the end of the day, Deathstroke is just a guy with one eye.
