Zack Snyder’s Justice League Deathstroke Scene Sets up Lost Batman Solo Movie

This article contains Zack Snyder’s Justice League spoilers.
Joe Manganiello was supposed to make numerous appearances in the Dceu as Deathstroke, a noted villain, antihero, assassin, and all around badass. His appearance in the post-credits scene of the theatrical cut of Justice League was little more than a cameo, one which explicitly stated that Lex Luthor wanted Manganiello’s Slade Wilson to be the first of a team of villains that could match the Justice League. In other words, it was a setup for a Justice League 2 that would never arrive.
But the version of that scene in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, while virtually identical in several ways, features different dialogue, and one that hints at the character’s ties to Batman. Snyder’s version of the scene doesn’t mention a team of villains at all, but rather shows Luthor revealing Batman’s true identity of Bruce Wayne to Deathstroke.
