Bane and Deathstroke movie coming from DC Studios

[Autbot_Benz]

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Bane, the super-steroid injecting antagonist who was previously seen in the 2012 Christopher Nolan movie The Dark Knight Rises, and Deathstroke, another popular arch-nemesis in the comic book company’s fold, are being lassoed together and for a movie. The James Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC Studios is developing a script from Matthew Orton, a scribe on the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World movie.

Well I'm the biggest Bane fan around but... with Deathstroke? Why? And why wouldn't we just get Bane in a Batman movie first?

I also wonder if this is James Gunn's buddy Dave Bautista finally talking him into making him Bane in something.

I just hope they finally cast a HISPANIC actor to play Bane since that's what he is in the comic

I'm surprised James Gunn is allowing this to happen, this is the kind of out of control spinoff movies you'd think he would want to avoid until the new DC universe is a proven success.

Yeah, of course. Imagine how great an even more bulked up Javier Bardem would have been as Bane, maybe 10 years ago?

Is this separate from the Matt Reeves Verse of Batman?

Presumably. I don't think a steroided up Bane would make any sense in the Reeves-verse and if we did get one, it'd just be a "grounded" Bane who doesn't take venom like the Nolan version. And stuff like "Penguin" aside, it doesn't make any sense to grow the Reeves-verse if he's saying he's done after movie #3.

I can just picture the Snyder cult already making claims this is just the solo Batfleck script reheated and substituting Ben with Bane.

Doesn't even sound that farfetched.
