Devil May Cry 5 certainly leaves an impression. What felt like a franchise unable to come back from the brink, now feels like one with a future.

Why Did Ben Affleck Decide To Use Deathstroke In The Batman
While I'm not convinced that Deathstroke is the 'main bad guy' in The Batman, he is going to be a pretty unique flavour considering we've never seen him in a film before.
That leads to the question, 'why did director Ben Affleck decide to go with the assassin?' Speaking to Collider in a recent interview, he revealed why he likes the match up, but also, what version of the character he is drawing from. He said:
I just had an instinctive feeling that he would match up with [Batman] well. You know, I'm a big admirer of that character as well, especially in the New 52, the way that they did Deathstroke, and I thought that it could work.
So there you go. We are probably looking at the New 52 version of the character.
A fight between Batman and Deathstroke is always fun to see play out, thanks to the physicality and speed of both, so I hope we get a nice juicy fist fight between the two.
