Stephen Lang

Just like Ron Perlman, Stephen Lang is a bit too old for such a role. Or, at least, this is what the powers that be may think. However, unlike Perlman, Lang doesn’t lack the physicality for such a role. Or, at least, he doesn’t show it. Just put a patch on his face and you have Deathstroke.

Actually, we already saw him with his face scarred, on at least two occasions. One time was in Avatar, and the most recent was in the critically acclaimed Don’t Breathe. And if he doesn’t look like Deathstroke…(you know, there is also one other option for him to appear in a superhero flick, although not in the DCEU).

He may not be as agile as the much younger stars of the DCEU. But he most certainly makes up for this with his menacing stature and looks. And I can bet that even Ben Affleck’s towering Batman would be intimidated by him.

Warner Bros. needs to make this happen, before some other studio steals him.
