CW Seed, the CW’s online content site, has dropped a trailer for their Deathstroke: Knights & Demons series.
The animated series will join Vixen and Freedom Fighters: The Ray as being based on and set in the Arrowverse only in here Deathroke will not be played by Manu Bennett as in the live-action shows but will rather be voiced by Michael Chiklis.
This looks promising and between this and Titans, Deathstroke really is the flavour of the month, isn’t he?

Now, a decade later, Wilson’s family is threatened once again by the murderous Jackal and the terrorists of H.IV.E. Can Deathstroke atone for the sins of the past—or will his family pay the ultimate price?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
