DC Studios is set to bring iconic villains Bane and Deathstroke to the big screen in a new, untitled film. This development suggests a significant shift in focus, as both characters are typically associated with separate storylines involving the Dark Knight.
Matthew Orton, known for his work on Captain America: Brave New World and the Marvel series Moon Knight, has been tapped to write the script for the upcoming project. This film currently lacks a director, leaving fans speculating about the creative direction it will take.
While details about the storyline remain scarce, the unusual pairing of Bane and Deathstroke raises questions about how these two characters, who usually operate within different narratives—Bane as one of Batman’s most formidable foes and Deathstroke primarily facing the Titans—will come together on screen. Their lack of historical collaboration in the comics adds another layer of intrigue to the film’s potential plot.
Bane was immortalized by Tom Hardy’s performance in The Dark Knight Rises, while Deathstroke has made brief appearances in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, portrayed by Joe Manganiello.
As the anticipation builds, fans of the DC Universe are left eager for more information about the film’s release date and character dynamics. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting addition to the DC cinematic lineup.
