Bane and Deathstroke Team Up for New DC Movie Adventure

DC Studios is reportedly developing a film featuring two of Batman's most notorious villains, Bane and Deathstroke. While there is no director attached to the project yet, the film is being written with the hope of moving forward. This development comes as the second Joker movie is set to release, alongside the rising popularity of The Penguin on Max. Although these characters are not part of the larger DC Universe being crafted by James Gunn and Peter Safran, their success indicates a growing interest in villain-centric narratives. Bane gained fame in the comics for his role in 'Knightfall,' where he famously broke Batman's back, while Deathstroke has appeared in various adaptations, including the Titans TV show and briefly in Justice League. The status of this new project remains uncertain, especially in relation to other upcoming DC films, such as The Brave and the Bold, which is expected to introduce Batman into the new DC Universe. The timeline for the Bane-Deathstroke film is unclear, but it may be further down the line compared to other projects that already have directors and release dates. As the DC Universe continues to evolve, the development of this film could provide an interesting exploration of the villains before the introduction of Batman and his allies.
