Hmm . I wonder why ?
It ’s long been know that while the CW / DC universe does have admission to a all-inclusive raiment of DC Comics ’ roster , if programme are in the qualification for a motion picture with those character , they have to duck out of TV appearances moderately sharpish . This is n’t new for Arrow , especially . Deathstroke ’s absence after his initial arc of the show in time of year 2 was down to the fact that Warner Bros. was developing plan for Deathstroke ’s involvement in the DC movieverse . Then the show ’s take on Task Force X had to abruptly vanish when the Suicide Squad movie storm up , and that ’s after Warner Bros. let Arrow use the graphic symbol only asa test run ahead of the movie .
It had seemed , at least in Deathstroke ’s shell , that those limitation on the show had waned : after all , he started making more appearance and then returned in full earlier this yr before returning again for another major discharge in the first one-half of time of year six . But now that that plot line is over , concord to executive manufacturer Marc Guggenheim ( speaking at the late ACE mirthful gyp ) , the show is back to having Deathstroke off - limits , thanks to the character’sappearance at the end of Justice Leagueand the plans for hisown spinoff plastic film :
These are DC ’s fictional character , we ’re just hire them ya get laid , so we use the characters that they tell us we can habituate when we can use them , and we work around whatever restriction that places us …
… For a time they were order ‘ you ca n’t use Deathstroke ’ , and that changed and we were capable to have Slade Wilson back on the show , and now we ’re back to ‘ you ca n’t use him ’ . They ’re working on the feature film reading , it really is sort of now that you ’ve got plainly Slade , spoiler alarum , Deathstroke appears at the end of the Justice League movie .

Given the common law for this spot , it ’s not a surprisal , but it ’s still a shame that Arrow has to get strike around with what it can and ca n’t use because of the movies . At this point , consider the Arrowverse has been around over five years now , I conceive people can accept that the TV and movie personification of these quality are in different universes , and they can live side by side with each other — look at The Flash , for case ! But alas , it ’s not to be , at least for Deathstroke . So say goodbye to Manu Bennett for at least a little while yet .
