He is also featured as an antagonist in The Batman series probably due to his confrontations with Robin. The movie promises to offer a new take on Slade Wilson’s legacy as he attempts to save his son from H.I.V.E. With his soul torn apart and his young son taken prisoner, Deathstroke will have to atone for the sins of his past to fuel the battles of his future.
