Following the revelation that the main antagonist will be Steppenwolf, star Ben Affleck tweeted a video that revealed Deathstroke will be making an appearance as well. Now there’s speculation that the villain will appear in Affleck’s standalone Batman film. We previously saw the character in season 2 of Arrow, where he played the chief antagonist.

Sherlock Season 4
The latest promo image for Sherlock season 4 sees a rather pensive Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman).

There are no plot details released as yet but clues hint that Moriarty makes his return and Culverton Smith played by Toby Jones could also feature prominently in the show as well. Sherlock season 4 airs in January 2017.
