It Sets Up The Teen Titans In The DCEU
As mentioned before, Dick and Deathstroke have had beef since the Teen Titans days. If you ever watched the original animated series from 2003, you’ll be aware of how big a role Slade had in the popular program. At times it even felt like it should’ve been a Deathstroke featuring the Teen Titans show.
So far, we haven’t seen any hint that the famous superhero team will appear in the DCEU, but anything is possible at this point. One thing’s for sure, though: if Dick versus Slade turns out to be well-liked, you can be damn certain that the Warner Bros. execs will be licking their chops at inserting the Teen Titans into the mix.
It’s a no-brainer, really. Even though there’s a live-action Teen Titans TV series set to come out in the new year, we’d all go nuts for a full-length feature film as well. At this stage, the more characters introduced into the universe, the merrier – and Slade as the antagonist in Nightwing might prove to be the key in unlocking the door for all these great heroes to come out and play.
