Mattel's also making DCSuperheroes version of Deathstroke for another line.

Toy companies like to release as many toys as they can with licenses they pay millions for. Chuck the movie logo on something and it's more likely to sell. The trend a few years back was to release the main character (in this case Bats) in as many stupid, colorful and varied outfits as possible. The trend more recently has been to keep doing this... but also to add in as many characters as possible "inspired" by the movie. Possibly Deathstroke and this design for the character will show up in a Video game or animated film relating to TDK. That's where most of the non-movie Spiderman 3 figure characters showed up, in the video game. Yeah, Jamie has hit the nail on the head.

The Two-Face doll was already shown, but only his alter ego, Harvey Dent, will appear in 'Knght' (although TF might show up in the last few minutes to tease an audience) and Kevin C's comment got me thinking. I don't think Deathstroke is in the film...but there IS a minor bad guy called 'Gator'. I would flip if that wasn't codename for Killer Croc...which if so (its doubtful, but bear with me) could get a jump on a possible Spider-Man 4, featuring a live action bad guy with a reptillian connection....whicj, since I'm on the subject: Back to Deathstroke. (Code name: Gamble haha!) ...the character shares much likeness to that of Marvel's Deadpool. What character was recently announcd to partake in the Wolverine film again? <em> Note: I was hoping Bats would face Deadshot, but that hope has faded</em> Hmmmm.... But I have ANOTHER theory. I think this angle makes more sense, actually. Tell me what you think. Deathstroke doesn't appear in The Dark Knight. He appears in the animated "in between film" The Gotham Knight. Whatcha think?

I doubt hes in the movie, unless this character has an alter-ego that turns out to be one of the thugs in the movie, like a wink-wink, nudge-nudge to the fans of the character. Kind of like with Doc Conners in Spiderman, but on a smaller scale. Ive never even heard of “Deathstroke”.
