More Batman Villains Are Getting Their Own Movie
If Bane and Deathstroke were teaming up in the next Batman movie, then the Dark Knight would be in some serious trouble. But apparently, DC Studios plans to bring these villains to the big screen in their own movie, rather than joining forces to bring the Caped Crusader to his knees.
Via The Hollywood Reporter, Captain America: Brave New World scribe Matthew Orton has signed on to write the currently untitled film, which doesn't have a director yet. Orton was also a writer on Marvel's Moon Knight series. Outside of the comic book realm, he created the South African crime series Devil's Peak, and wrote the scripts for the World War II flick Operation Finale and a thriller called Cleaner.
The biggest thing missing from this report about the film is the hook that brings Deathstroke and Bane together. They seem like a mismatched pair, considering that the former tends to take on the Titans while the latter is one of Batman's biggest foes. There isn't even comic book history between them to fall back on. Bane and Deathstroke simply don't travel in each others' orbits, and the only thing they have in common is that they're among the most prominent villains in DC's comic book universe.
