With a big-budget movie just weeks away and a HBO series freshly unveiled, a few other DC villain are being targeted for the spotlight. Sources tell that , the super-steroid injecting antagonist who was previously seen in the 2012 Christopher Nolan movie , and Deathstroke, another popular arch-nemesis in the comic book company’s fold, are being lassoed together and for a movie. The James Gunn and Peter Safran-led DC Studios is developing a script from Matthew Orton, a scribe on the upcoming movie.

There is no director on the project. Bane is a relatively recent addition to Batman’s rogues gallery, with creating him in the early 1990s. The character was born and raised in a prison on a fictional Caribbean isle, a locale that allowed him to not only hone his brute fighting skills but also absorb the teachings from all manner of international criminals.

He later was the subject of a horrific steroidal test, an experiment that left him incredibly strong but also addicted to its serums. The character made his mark in an epic storyline titled “Knightfall,” in which he brutally broke Batman’s back, a story that catapulted him to the upper rankings of Bat-villains. The character has appeared in numerous video games and TV series, and was notably portrayed by a muffled Tom Hardy in the final installment of Nolan’s Batman trilogy, .

Deathstroke was first introduced in 1980 to be a top-tier villain for the Teen Titans, but the super-enhanced master assassin grew to become on.
