There ’s no theater director yet attached and no warrantee the film ever happens . But , it ’s being write with the Bob Hope that it ’ll happen . io9 accomplish out to DC for gossip or clarification and will update the piece if or when we pick up back .
The move comes on the eve of the secondJokermovie , Joker : Folie à Deux , hitting theaters for Warner Bros. and DC as well asThe Penguinrising to popularity on Max . Though those iterations of the Bat - villains are n’t part of the large DC Universe that DC Studio heads James Gunn and Peter Safran are developing , each is cogent evidence that image about villain can be smash . Not to mention Gunn as well as David Ayer’sSuicide Squadmovies . All of those surely have a bunch to do with a Bane - Deathstroke picture show going into development .
These two baddies may soon share the silver screen.DC Comics
Bane , of course , was famously played by Tom Hardy in Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knight Rises . And while that was the part ’s biggest cultural moment , he rose to popularity in the comics by breaking Batman ’s back in the democratic run “ Knightfall . ” Deathstroke was insert sometime earlier and come out in theTitansTV show as well as briefly inJustice League , played by Joe Manganiello . That translation of the character was alsoalmost the scoundrel in a Ben AffleckBatmanmovie and even coquette with getting his own movie , though neither happened . Obviously .
The query now though is , does this movie potentially befall before or afterThe Brave and the Bold , which is the movie that ’s expected to preface Batman into the DC Universe proper ? It could be nerveless and interesting to mess around in the Rogues ’ Gallery before meet the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder . Or , considering that film already has a theater director attached ( The Flash ’s Andy Muschietti ) and this does n’t , possibly it ’s further down the route . The development condition of all of these DC projects stay , largely , a enigma .
What we do recognize is this . Creature Commandos , out on Max on December 5 , will be the first official story in Gunn and Safran ’s DC Universe . That ’ll be follow up bySupermanin July of 2025 andSupergirl : Woman of Tomorrowin June of 2026 .
