Video Review 001 Deathstroke (DC) [Warner Bros.]
Deathstroke teased for Justice League @ Batman Solo Movie (?)

[?] Chance of Success = 80%
A cryptic video released by Ben Affleck showcasing Deathstroke in his full practical regalia for almost a full 30 seconds. He is almost fully armored from top to bottom with key articulation points (i.e. Suicide Squad's Deadshot) with quite a built body and high posture, just seeing here in a supposed aircraft (noted the steam and the billowing cloth off of the hilt of his sword) and walking away from a vehicle (resembling the Batman's Batmobile).
With the intentional panning to the side off of the screen to reveal the air-conditioner and green wall, it is more likely to be a test footage for the upcoming Batman solo movie than a leaked practical shoot for the still shooting Justice League. Since the ensemble movie is still under the direction of Jack Snyder, it would a cheap shot to release something as big as a villain to the mass by his own volition, that is unless he is teasing the main adversary for Batman for his own upcoming movie that he would star and direct himself, trying to get a sense of how the audiences would react to the news while still focusing on the current JL production.
The wardrobe the actor or stand-in wore in the test footage is a high-end movie quality suit that would contrast wonderfully with the current iteration of the Batman suit, seemingly being shot for a costume test and how it looked practically on the screen as a part of the pre-production process of the solo movie.
After being portrayed excellently by Manu Bennett in the television show Arrow, his inclusion into the DC Extended Universe would be a sight to behold as his mastery of martial arts is wonderfully complimented by his tactical prowess, going toe to toe with the Dark Knight himself.
Having being reported (but not officially confirmed) that he is indeed would be in the solo movie after all but without the Arkham Asylum setting, the still possible inclusion of a number of villains from the rich tapestry of Batman mythology would be an interesting concept if Deathstroke would use his tactical skills to be the mastermind behind a group of villains and spearheaded a continuous attack on the vigilante and wear him down enough for the one-eyed assassin to land the final blow.
