Det grämer oss en aning att Affleck aldrig fick chansen att fullfölja planerna sin Batman-film och baserat på information som läckt ut låter det som ett minst sagt spännande projekt. Under Zack Snyder's Full Circle Justice League som nyligen ägde rum berättade skådespelaren upp lite mer om vilka idéer och tankar han hade, något som också bekräftar att Deathstroke planerades vara Batmans huvudsakliga fiende genom den Fincher-inspirerade filmen.
"There were a number of them that I was kind of exploring, and, the plans were to make interesting, nuanced, complex characters, in particular to the character you mentioned. I kind of feel like either you do - I'm just going to get into my own preference here - but either you do a kind of massive one villain that is so formidable you just can't imagine how your protagonist is going to be able to overcome it. Or you have to really sort of populate kind of, you know, Injustice - these big group villains - where you have to get all these different characters."
Affleck berättade även om hur han ville ge Deathstroke tid att skina, få honom att upplevas som en genuint farlig motståndare för Batman.
"So I was at the time really trying to hone in and focus on that character and get into depth and detail about it to make him seem as impressive as I felt there was the opportunity to do. That's the only detail I have for you."
Joe Manganiello som var tänkt att återvända i rollen som Deathstroke har också tidigare gett sina insikter kring filmen och berättat om hur han skulle gjort Bruce liv till ett mindre helvete.
"It was a really dark story in which Deathstroke was like a shark or a horror movie villain that was dismantling Bruce's life from the inside out. It was this systemic thing: He killed everyone close to Bruce and destroyed his life to try and make him suffer because he felt that Bruce was responsible for something that happened to him."
Vi får hoppas i varje fall delar av manus eller några av dess idéer kommer till användning i framtiden för det låter som en härligt mörk och spännande Batman-film. Som vi nu högst sannolikt aldrig kommer få uppleva tyvärr.
