Will the actor still appear as the DC villain?

So, what does this mean, if anything, for Joe Manganiellos Deathstroke?

I dont [have any information], he said.

Well, I do but nothing that I can share.

I know everything but I cant say any of it.

Thats a good question for Warner Bros. and DC.

Reeves saidhes using a new story for the standalone superhero filmand not the script Affleck wrote.

Its just starting again.

Im excited about it.

I think its going to be really cool, he remarked.

Let me be very clear.

I am the luckiest guy in the world.

Batman is the coolest fing part in any universe.

Im so thrilled to do it, he told the Hall H audience at the convention center.

The actor also told EW, My status remains what it always is.

Ive done the two movies.

Ive always intended on doing a third if Warners wants to make it.

Certainly, if the Batphone rings, I will answer.

Trying to do that, and direct, would probably be too much.

Something would be compromised.

I think it came off, optically, to the broader world, like lack of interest or enthusiasm.

When in fact I love this character.
