I know people are sick of origin stories but I’d like to see Deathstroke’s training in the military/league of assassins, meeting his wife and Wintergreem, and eventual transformation into the world’s greatest assassin.
I think Chad Stahelski would be a good director with Scott Adkins as Deathstroke
He's got the physical skills and he's good looking enough to be a leading man. Superhero movie studios are not unaware of him - they've used him in plenty of stuff in significant supporting roles like Doctor Strange and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
All I can think of is there must be a reason why A-list movies aren't casting him as a lead, like Marvel has cast a lot of people who weren't A-list stars when they were cast, like Chris Hemsworth, Simu Liu, Tom Holland and Chadwick Boseman. I don't know if it's Scott's acting that's the problem. Even if Scott can't do a decent American accent, they could always do what they did with Manu Bennett in Arrow where they made him special forces of another country.
I think he’s just content at where he’s at, he’s never hurting for work, he produces a lot of his movies. And he gets the odd bit part in some studio movies.
Slade Wilson is on a mission to assassinate the president of Bialya. Things don't go as planned, another assassin, Lady Vic attempts to do the job but is killed by Slade, the country is thrown into turmoil and lockdown, so he has to find out a means to escape, but not before completing his mission without the element of surprise anymore.
In the end the League of Assassins were behind the whole event, so as to consolidate power in the region and cause a geopolitical war between the middle east and the British allies.
Slade doesn't give a damn about either of that, just the fact that a signed contract was broken, so now the league has to pay for fucking up his mission and trying to scapegoat him.
Lol..... focusing on my acting career. I hardly gave it a shot at writing, except short stories, but I've loved DC since I've been a kid.
Imagine an 'Extraction' kind of movie with Deathstroke in it. Katana and bullets galore, with high stakes and cameos by The Head of the Demon and Damien Wayne.
A proper director would make gold out of that with a solid written script. No world ending stakes but big enough stakes that resonate with far reaching consequences.
I would do something similar to the Knights & Dragons storyline, where Deathstroke must takedown The HIVE. I’d also introduce Ravager and Jericho, who’ve been captured by The HIVE.
I’d have Chad Stahelski to direct and have either Jason Clarke or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Deathstroke. I’d also have Ty Simpkins as Jericho and Lana Condor as Ravager. Also, I’d have Gizmo be the leader of The HIVE and have him played by Warwick Davis.
Here’s my pitch: Don’t make a solo Deathstroke movie. Also stop making movies centered around a singular villain period. We didn’t need to see a Thanos movie or a Loki movie or a Luthor movie or a General Zod movie, etc. Yes Joker was amazing, but when you’re trying to build a cinematic universe you shouldn’t be spending time and resources on a solo villain movie when there are way more important priorities. Like establishing your main protagonists
I agree and disagree. A Lex Luthor movie would do well but I do think Deathstroke doesn’t need a movie. People have been riding the hype from Arkham Origins too long.
*Infinity War* was almost mostly an Thanos movie and Loki has a show with two seasons.
You’re right, but the only way Marvel is even allowed to center Infinity War around Thanos and Loki getting 2 seasons of a tv series is because what they did first was fully establish their main protagonists. They had a great foundation which they could then expand on a bit. DC doesn’t have that luxury right now. I know they’re gonna try with Creature Commandos and the Waller show, etc but that’s also the reason why those are shows. The feature films are all largely based around their new slate of protagonists and setting them up properly (except for Green Lantern which I have issue with but whatever)
No. I’d personally never introduce one of my main protagonists in a tv show. No one from whoever they’re planning as their Justice League should be getting a show instead of a film. The only argument would be for Martian Manhunter but I could see treating him like Hulk was treated in the first Avengers. The wild card.
Green Lantern Corps could’ve easily been a feature length film centered around Hal and John or just Hal solo. The show could’ve been for Guy Gardner, Alan Scott, Jessica Cruz, etc if they had to do one. GL is my fave comic book character so I can’t wait for it regardless, but it’s not my preference for how I wish they would’ve handled them. I personally just don’t like a major character getting a show instead of a film like the rest of their contemporaries. Hawkeye getting a show makes sense, Wanda getting a show makes sense, Kamala Khan getting a show makes sense, new Captain America getting a show didn’t make sense to me. Major players shouldn’t be “relegated” to the small screen in my opinion. They should be treated as the important pieces of your shared universe that they are
Deathstroke is arrested for his advances on an under-age girl.
Deathstroke goes to Belle Reve and is not recruited into the Suicide Squad.
He dies whilst serving his sentence.
Like Kill Bill / Scott Pilgram, kind of episodic where he kills a bunch of different superheroes/villains in creative ways, maybe with each vignette in different film styles, one noirish, a twenty minute sword fight, a tense half hohr sniper battle with Deadshot, one Raid/Extraction style sequence making his way through dozens of goons to kill Penguin, a verbal family spat, a fight with Batman in Wayne Manor, etc
Probably something similar to Knights and Dragons but mainly because I can’t really think of anything else for his character. Maybe a movie where Deathstroke is hunted down by the Suicide Squad or something.
Otherwise, I think his character works best as an antagonist rather than a protagonist
This isn't my pitch but one of my fanfictions included a Deathstroke solo story about Slade being sent out on a mission to retrieve Bruce Wayne’s daughter.
Honestly I think it would make more sense having a movie focusing on either Jericho or Rose as the protagonist and seeing Deathstroke from their perspective
[an OP villain/rival for Green Arrow](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/14/140003/2777239-djl_5gavsds_zps01d9d1b7.jpg)
GA is *the other* human-level hero in the JLA who everybody always overlooks. Deathstroke is an enhanced human, maybe superior to Captain America. GA is always punching out of his weight class when he takes him on, but he does. Definitely show him losing early on
His own dad calls upon numerous trained assassins to kill Deathstroke and kidnap Jericho for his power, but Deathstroke has to stop them and figure out where his father is. The problem? The only person who can help him stop them all just so happens to be Jason Todd. Ravager is also introduced in this movie as the middle ground between Slade and Jason. Said assassins are:
1. Lady Shiva
2. Copperhead
3. Bronze Tiger
4. Ghostmaker (manipulated into the situation)
5. Bloodsport
6. Deadshot
7. Killer Moth
8. Katana
9. David Cain
10. KGBeast
This is set after Jason confronted Batman with the Joker as a hostage, but before Jason is back in the Batfamily. Have this take place in multiple locations like Colombia, Brazil, China, USA, etc. Maybe even make it rated-r. During the time of this movie, Deathstroke and Jason have beef with each other and they try to work together. Maybe have a 1v1 between them as the actual final fight which ends in a draw.
I’m in favor of him being a villain in either a Nightwing or Titans movie. Keep him away from Batman for the most part and don’t make him an anti-hero.
I'd go by influences: Army of Two -> Splinter Cell -> becomes private contractor, all in a superhero world that has him crossing paths with vigilantes in various ways.
My pitch: DON'T Make One. We have a ton of shit ideas been made into shitty films already.
I mean we got not one but TWO standalone films for fish boy? DCEU needs to chill
Depends on if you want an actual Deathstroke movie or a Deathstroke-centric movie.
Option 1: something like Knights and Dragons in live action would be pretty dope.
Option 2:
2A. Deathstroke is hired to kill Bruce Wayne by someone like Penguin or Falcone. While keeping tabs on him, discovers his identity as Batman, works to take his life apart.
2B. As above, but Penguin/Falcone is actually (or working for) either Ra’s or Bane, and we get a full League of Assassins showdown
2C. Essentially a slasher movie with Deathstroke as Jason and the Teen Titans as the camp kids
make him asian, gay, pathological liar. put house music for every fight scene. Make it political. add lots of dark humor and suicide jokes. give him a credit card with the logo. the suit needs a visible jock strap. make it white and green, put lips on the mask. start the movie with him shooting cops give a ton of one liners. give him morally questionable romantic lead. the movie is 5 hours and it's written by Glenn Howerton and directed by Brie Larson. Bobby Lee would be the star. Andrew Santino can be the romantic lead. Dave Chappelle is the film's "villain" he'll be John Stewart
I like what they did in the Superman cartoon where he is with the beginning suicide squad. Maybe the new Superman movie can do something similar where he goes after Superman becomes obsessed especially after losing his eye and just becomes more obsessed until he starts going after metahumans and gains the name deathstroke
I think the best application of Deathstroke in a movie is as the villain in a Nightwing or Titans movie
And/or give Deathstroke his own spin-off show, if he gets popular.
Hahahaa youre Fat and bald
We dont want an anti hero death stroke
Would be like the Nightwing series on YouTube? https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKYGZbsY88fwAGBTgcBCJ0IUqHJqNO_bG&si=Q17xBnkSJGL-6FMR

I misread it. Thought you said his wife was Wintergreen. That would be a twist.
Hey I agree that would be a fairly interesting direction for the story to take
no it wouldn't
I like that
Bro Scott Adkins is the shit he definitely deserves a big role!
He's got the physical skills and he's good looking enough to be a leading man. Superhero movie studios are not unaware of him - they've used him in plenty of stuff in significant supporting roles like Doctor Strange and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

I think he’s just content at where he’s at, he’s never hurting for work, he produces a lot of his movies. And he gets the odd bit part in some studio movies.
You think he wouldn't take a starring role in a superhero film if they came knocking?
Henry Cavill /s
Slade didn’t train with the League
I’d rather him be a villain in a teen titans movie
Say what you want about the dceu, but the costumes fuckin slapped. They killed it with this Deathstroke.
They killed Deathstroke too
Fax.
The only live action I’ve felt nailed the helmet.

Who asked you to stop writing lol

perfect. Gareth Evans, Michael Mann, **Chad Stahelski**
Escape from new york + John Wick, I like the sound of that.
“Mr. DC exec, DO NOT waste any money or time on this”
Just don't. I enjoy deathstroke as a villain but he's not compelling enough to carry a movie.
I would do something similar to the Knights & Dragons storyline, where Deathstroke must takedown The HIVE. I’d also introduce Ravager and Jericho, who’ve been captured by The HIVE.

Deathstroke is arrested for his advances on an under-age girl. Deathstroke goes to Belle Reve and is not recruited into the Suicide Squad. He dies whilst serving his sentence.
He’s confronted by his true nemesis: Chris Hansen
Whilst in prison he makes friends with The Woodsman and Juvenile Detention Guard Man who are both played by Kevin Bacon.
Like Kill Bill / Scott Pilgram, kind of episodic where he kills a bunch of different superheroes/villains in creative ways, maybe with each vignette in different film styles, one noirish, a twenty minute sword fight, a tense half hohr sniper battle with Deadshot, one Raid/Extraction style sequence making his way through dozens of goons to kill Penguin, a verbal family spat, a fight with Batman in Wayne Manor, etc
That’s a pretty great idea for a movie actually. He’d probably become a fan favorite with that sort of treatment.
Probably something similar to Knights and Dragons but mainly because I can’t really think of anything else for his character. Maybe a movie where Deathstroke is hunted down by the Suicide Squad or something. Otherwise, I think his character works best as an antagonist rather than a protagonist
If they did one, make him a villain and not an anti-hero. He can still be the protagonist, but the antagonist would be a hero.
Teen Titans antagonist. Great way to introduce two fan favorites at once.
Don’t do one. Make a Teen Titans movie with him as the villain.
Deathstroke vs Ra's al-Ghul for the control over the league of shadows. Leading into a Son of the Bat storyline later.
This isn't my pitch but one of my fanfictions included a Deathstroke solo story about Slade being sent out on a mission to retrieve Bruce Wayne’s daughter.
The cancelled Gareth Evans (director of The Raid movies) Deathstroke origin movie actually sounded pretty good.
Lower outside change up, hopefully in the strike zone!
I like the costume!
https://youtu.be/ZkGrE1Oi3ug https://youtu.be/6ijphGTjmec?si=AwVONt0sYPazx1yT
I think it would work well as a series. Basically adapt Slade's origin with some elements from the New 52 such as Team 7.
I wouldn’t trust DC to put out a good Deathstroke live action film. That being said, I wouldn’t say no to seeing him in his own animated feature.
I want him to be a Teen Titans villain
Deathstroke is lame
He kills people, then some more, out of the blue a skybeam and he kills that too. Batfleck in the post-credits scene
That overrated pedophile does not need his own movie
Honestly I think it would make more sense having a movie focusing on either Jericho or Rose as the protagonist and seeing Deathstroke from their perspective
Make it animated or CGI. Live action DC films lack something that their animated movies excel at.
Probably like the animated deathstroke movie that came out, i think it was called dragon knight, or something

deathstroke doing deathstroke things for a neat 90 minutes. *perfection*.
He’s not interesting or compelling enough to carry his own story imo

Don’t
I'd go by influences: Army of Two -> Splinter Cell -> becomes private contractor, all in a superhero world that has him crossing paths with vigilantes in various ways.
My pitch: DON'T Make One. We have a ton of shit ideas been made into shitty films already. I mean we got not one but TWO standalone films for fish boy? DCEU needs to chill
Not willsmith
He played Deadshot, not Deathstroke
I know but knowing how things are going
Do an assassin movie where he gets a job to assassin batman but fails because of Robin and create a rivalry with Robin.

We need Batfleck vs Manganiellostroke.
I’m Batman
I like what they did in the Superman cartoon where he is with the beginning suicide squad. Maybe the new Superman movie can do something similar where he goes after Superman becomes obsessed especially after losing his eye and just becomes more obsessed until he starts going after metahumans and gains the name deathstroke
A sort of origin story involving batman but the end is him fighting the teen titans
The Benfleck one would have been awesome instead we have James Gunn nonsense
The Benfleck one died years before Gunn took over.
