   Between Deadshot, Deadpool and Death Stroke, casual movie goers are going to be getting them all confused lol. Good time for us fans!

      The irony is deadpool was a R rated mash up of the dc ones

      Their civilian names are even worse. Slade, Wade and Floyd (the oldest one by far). Only Valiant ´s Bloodshot is missing from the lineup... For now, as he is in some "stage" of development too.
      Edit: I forgot Shield´s Deathlok, i wonder why...

   I think dead shot is a fantastic antagonist, such strengh and depth in character. I think after the Leto fiasco, we're just gonna have to let joker slide for a while. We've been privilaged in the past, via Ledger, Hamill, Nicholson etc, but there is a s***load of great rogues to explore. The batman world is a universe in itself.

   Mark Hughes´s has a pretty solid perspective and you can see a refection on Slade´s mask during sec. 23.
   Who could this be... if the Batmobile is just behind him.

   This is rather expensive looking footage for just a "costume test". That fog machine and set look legit.

      It was definitely made on the set of JL, but they could have just been taking advantage of having those sets available to make the test look as good as possible. There's just not much happening here. Looks to me like a quick look at lighting the costume and (maybe) how a certain actor who was in London recently fills out the suit.

         They even got Banner, must have cost a buck or two. 6?/10 What We Do In The Shadows is very similar too:

            Expect Thor 3 to have similar comedy scenes, due to the director. The source comics is great but they will hardly adapt it, with their track record.

   Cheers to the rouge gallery of DC.....they are just as exciting as the superheroes. I'm happy to see they are using new ones we have not see in live action, very smart from their part.

   Did you guys see an article from
   One of the conicbook resource sites, they think he's walking off the flying fox that's holding the batmobile. Maybe Bruce needs his help. Kind of a cool rumor.

      It definitely fits the description of the Flying Fox, so it could be something from JL. I just lean towards a screen test and them using a cool-looking set that was immediately available. I could be completely wrong, though.

   I appreciate the randomness of the Deathstroke news. I'm hoping for some REAL confirmation about his role in the DCEU, SOONER rather than later. Perhaps he's been cast already. And that footage will actually be in the Justice League movie.

      I wouldn't count on it. IIRC Batman movie is still in writing phase and I guess writers just decided to use Deathstroke as main antagonist. Nothing more than that.

   This is the first time I've decided to listen to this podcast. Obviously I was very hyped about the news and I had some spare time to kill, so I gave it a try. I'm happy to report that it was very insightful and enjoyable to listen to. Keep up the good work! I'll definitely be listening to all future podcasts as long as I'm not too busy.

      Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the show and plan to keep listening. Don't worry if you get too busy. It's our job to distract people from theirs!

   The short answer to that last question is YES, The Dark Knight movie is indeed the best Batman vs. Joker story ever told. And I think a Batman vs. Deathstroke movie, has the potential to be just as amazing.

      Death of the family/Endgame for me. It takes into account all of their history and puts it into perspective beautifully. Also when Bruce SPOILER ALERT removes ___'s bandages was one of the most compelling moments I've experience from the Bat in any medium.

   I like the idea that the Deathstroke scene could be an end of credits scene, a tie-in to the Batman movie. The good thing about using Deathstroke is how he could bring support characters from Batman's rogue gallery and the Batfamily into the story. He could be looking for Batman (maybe hired to kill him, or someone close to him), and that would lead him to find both villains and allies of the Bat for info or just to force Batman to come to him. My favorite twist is how the Joker could be in the movie to actually stop Deathstroke from killing Batman and robbing him of his favorite antagonist.

    Except for his raspy, throat cancer voice, Bennett was pretty good.
