TITANS Will Introduce A New Version Of Deathstroke

Deathstroke is one of the most popular adversaries of the Teen Titans, so obviously people are curious as to whether or not Titans will feature the iconic villain. Series writer and producer Geoff Johns didn’t dance around the question at New York Comic Con (via Comicbook) when he told audiences they will bring him in down the line, and that they’d be fools to exclude him from the action. Johns also seemed to indicate this will be a new television actor portraying the villain, and not Manu Bennett’s Deathstroke from the Arrow-verse shows:

You'll see Deathstroke in Titans eventually, but it will be a new version.

That’s a shame, although I’m not entirely surprised. The grit and edge of Titans has all but ensured an Arrow-verse crossover would be problematic at best, so there’s no use in bringing in an actor who played Deathstroke on another show to confuse people. Still, I was a fan of Bennett’s portrayal and had hope he’d return to play the villain at some point.

Are you excited to see Deathstroke appear in Titans?
