You said you had something I'd want? You better not be wasting my time.
~ Deathstroke to Lex Luthor.

Slade Wilson, also known as Deathstroke, is a minor antagonist in the 2017 DC Extended Universe superhero film Justice League and its 2021 director's cut Zack Snyder's Justice League.

In his characterisation, he a highly skilled and expertly trained mercenary who exceptionally skilled in both sword-fighting and marksmanship. His skill in combat lead to Slade becoming one of the many foes of Batman himself, and later on he was recruited by Lex Luthor after the latter broke out of Arkham Asylum.

He was portrayed by Joe Manganiello.

Biography[]

Background[]

Not much is known about Slade Wilson's past, but he would become a mercenary and assassin under the moniker "Deathstroke". During his time as a mercenary, he would become a great enemy of the vigilante Batman, who is implied, gouged out his right eye during a fight.

Justice League[]

After Lex Luthor has escaped from Arkham Asylum, he meets with Deathstroke onboard a super yacht. Arriving at the yacht in a smaller speedboat, Deathstroke is welcomed by Luthor who sarcastically claims that he was just celebrating Superman's return. Luthor claims that Superman and several other heroes seem to be founding some kind of League and Deathstroke interrupts him, threatening that Luthor better not waste his time. Luthor replies that he has too much to live for. As Deathstroke removes his mask, Luthor states that it is time that supervillains like the two of them get a league of their own - seemingly successfully recruiting Deathstroke for his own "Injustice League".

Knightmare[]

In the "Knightmare" timeline, Darkseid succeeded in collecting the Anti-Life Equation and managed to make Superman become one of his assets. Seeing that humanity was in peril, Deathstroke joined the Insurgency, which was led by Batman, to oppose the Regime and save humanity from Darkseid.
