The army thought the experiment was a failure
but their drug didn't work but it just took a little time to turn you into
Deathstroke
where's my boy where's joseph will you join hive
or will my man slit little joseph's throat here and now
the answer is no
you're a mercenary
and the people that you love have paid a terrible price
you see i have a secret
i'm a knight like the ones in our favorite book
roaming a dangerous world and i don't want those dragons to hurt you
ever again
so what are we going to do about it we you're not going after him alone this time
Welcome back everyone it's charlie this is going to be my new batman deathstroke
video that's right they made a deathstroke movie if you can believe it
so i'll explain what's going on with this what's going on with the larger
reboot of the dc animated movies since justice
league apocalypse war and what's going on with deathstroke in
the live-action dceu movies after justice league
if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the easter eggs
we'll do an amazon giveaway all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and
let me know what you want them to do with deathstroke in the new
dc movies the basic premise of the movie is that this retells a version of his
origin story but it is different from the canonical
comic book version of his origin story that you've seen in a lot of the other
adaptations they did a version of deathstroke on
titan season 2 recently as part of the nightwing origin story
they were doing the judas contract storyline during that season so they
told his backstory as part of the judas contract
classic teen titans story but this version of the movie
changes some of the aspects about his family members and where they come from
so for instance rose wilson's backstory is ravager is a little bit different
jericho's backstory is a little bit different and as you can tell it's
michael chiklis playing deathstroke so obviously we have another
version of deathstroke so i will talk about how i thought he did compared to
the other versions of deathstroke like manu bennett or joe manginello's
deathstroke but the movie is basically deathstroke
versus hive with a couple other villains they introduce but it all winds up being
a twist upon a twist upon a twist it's all about being double-crossed how
do you portray deathstroke is an anti-hero if he does such terrible
terrible things most of the other dc series that have
used the character have portrayed him as more of a villain i think they've slowly
tried to humanize them especially on the flash and arrow where
they use the character a ton of times the way they accomplish that in this
movie is by putting him against villains through
hive that have no moral code no sense of honor and that's his whole thing is that
he does do terrible things but he does have a code of honor
that he operates by he's supposed to be true neutral
a true mercenary as happens in the comics usually what winds up getting him
though is his past catches up to him and bites him in the
ass sometimes literally the movie focuses heavily on the
consequences of his actions and how it destroys his family and his broken
relationships with his wife with his two children
the biggest change they make from the comics though is that there's no grant
wilson as part of this storyline a lot of you may have seen a version of
this earlier this year when they released it on cwc
in a bunch of smaller chunks so what they're doing now is they're just
combining it all into a blu-ray and home video that they're releasing next week
so if it seems weird or you're having deja vu like wait a minute didn't i
already watch this you probably did it's just that they're
releasing it in a slightly different way i'm not as big a fan of the animation in
this as i am of some of the other dc properties usually dc animated movies
are really solid but it just depends on the team inside dc that's animating the
project one of the other really weird things
about this though is that they end on a big cliffhanger and i do not think that
there's going to be a sequel to this i think they build it like it was going to
be a series and they were going to do a season two to follow up on deathstroke
getting pushed off the cliff by jericho here but
there's been no talk of them doing the second part of this storyline since this
came out earlier this year so i have no idea
this is kind of what it's like to be an anime fan you see a really cool season
one but then there's no promise of a season two in sight it just completely
vanishes into the night just in terms of recent dc animated
properties i say justice league apocalypse war is probably the most
solid thing that they've done so far so this is also part of the idea that dc
is rebooting their animated continuity if you didn't see apocalypse war is one
of their better movies that they've done the last couple of years
at the end of that movie because they basically completely derp that timeline
the flash pulls another flashpoint and there's a big teaser
for dc rebirth movies like they're trying to launch another animated
franchise through the dc rebirth title everything would change and some of
those changes may be sh*te but the movies that they're talking
about rebooting in terms of the line of continuity is just the justice league
mainstream animated films the one that started with justice league flashpoint
then justice league war where darkseid shows up on planet earth in the justice
league forms for the first time then more recently they did the death of
superman then the reign of the superman and now justice league dark apocalypse
war so it's just those movies with those voice over actors
they'll still continue to be a ton of dc movies every year
but they're just using the opportunity to bring in new creative bring in new
voice over actors so for instance the brand new superman
movie superman man of tomorrow that they're going to be
releasing next week as part of dc fandom has a completely different voice over
cast and the animation style looks vastly vastly different from the
animation style of these justice league animated films
you're all getting excited about robert pattinson and matt reeves new batman
movie that's based on the long halloween story line
will dc announce that they're actually doing batman the long halloween is an
animated movie sometime next year too there's no
trailer for that yet so we haven't seen any animation
but it'll also be another example of them just trying different things new
teams new animation styles so it'll be fun to see what that actually looks like
the last we've seen deathstroke in the live action movies right now
is actually the justice league theatrical cut joe manginello was
teasing that the justice league snyder cut is going to have a completely
different ending in post credit scene so i'm guessing that he has a little bit
more dialogue he barely even speaks at all during the theatrical cut
but most of that footage was actually shot by joss whedon so
none of that stuff that you saw in the theatrical cut with deathstroke and lex
luthor is going to be in the snyder cut without
having seen the full snyder cut yet all i really know about the alternate
versions of deathstroke during that movie is that they have a similar scene
where he breaks lex luthor out at the end of the movie
they have a brief conversation about setting up their own team like the
legion of doom and that's about it but it's a very
different type of conversation that goes down in a very different way from the
theatrical cut originally when they cast joe
manginello's death stroke it was actually more for
the batman movie when ben affleck was still going to be directing and writing
that movie and starring in it that was going to be batman vs
deathstroke in an arkham style movie with batman fighting his way down level
by level in arkham but ben affleck the way he explains it
left the project just because he couldn't find a way to crack the
story and he was just so fatigued with playing the batman character that he
wanted to pass it on to someone else that someone else wound up being matt
reeves who then cast robert pattinson they'll be previewing that movie at dc
fandom this weekend so we'll see a lot more of that for the rest of the year
then after he was going to appear in the ben affleck version of the batman movie
he would have gone on to a deathstroke solo movie in the dc eu
we don't know a lot about that movie other than he would have just been an
anti-hero like the mandalorian so i think that's a good comparison to make
because they're both lived by strict moral codes
they walk around in some crazy armor and even though they're not evil themselves
they do have to do a lot of terrible stuff
in the line of duty post all your deathstroke baby yoda memes i feel like
they could have done a really awesome version of that but the mandalorian got
there first with baby yoda in the mando joe manginello said he would still love
to do a deathstroke movie even though it seems like it's going to be sitting on a
shelf for a while they have no plans to do it anytime soon
it's always possible that they bring that character back through the suicide
squad franchise if the new james gunn suicide squad movie is as successful as
it seems like it's going to be just comparing michael chiklis's version
of deathstroke and his performance to the other versions we've seen so far
i feel like he does a really solid job he's a great actor in all the live
action stuff that he does i feel like manu bennett is the most
well developed version of deathstroke so i am partial to his version
i do feel like joe manginello's dceu movie version of deathstroke could have
become the most superior version had he gotten his do in the dc movies
but as it stands none of those movies wound up happening so you really only
have him for a couple minutes so you can't really say that that's completely
superior to what they did with arrow and minou bennett's version of the character
even though with a movie budget you could just make
it look so much better but like i said dc fandom is happening
next week there's going to be a bunch of dc movie trailers previews and footage
and they'll also be a bunch of video game stuff too
for the people that are looking forward to big batman arkham game announcements
