Joe Manganiello Says DEATHSTROKE Footage Was Just A Screen Test For The Armor

Joe Manganiello Says DEATHSTROKE Footage Was Just A Screen Test For The Armor

Back in August, Ben Affleck's Twitter video of Deathstroke aboard Batman's new Justice League aerial base, The Flying Fox, caused many to speculate on the DC Comics mercenary's inclusion in the film.

While some sites were reporting the Deathsroke art Joe Manganiello tweeted to Geoff Johns on his birthday as official concept art, CBM quickly identified it as fan art from talented Deviant Artist Jeran Morales.

A few days later, it seems Manganiello felt the need to clear up the confusion and give Morales some props at the same time.  However, while doing so, he confirmed what many suspected, that the footage released was just a screen test for Deathstroke's armor.  So does this deflate those theories that the character will appear in the Justice League film before tangling with The Bat in the DCEU's first standalone Batman film? Was Zack Snyder actually looking over Ben Affleck's storyboards for The Batman and not for his own film in this Tweet?
