Joe Manganiello Teases Major Fact About The Batman
The Batman suffered a bit of bad press after rumors of script problems surfaced. The rumor was quickly shut down by American Psycho writer Bret Easton Ellis, the supposed perpetrator of the rumor. And since no one from the DCEU camp came forward to clear the rumor, it seems like we will not be getting any clarifications for the truth. But one actor from The Batman has come forward to offer fans some positive news.
Actor Joe Manganiello, who will play villain Deathstroke in the upcoming The Batman offered some insight into what the movie will be like. Very little has been mentioned about the storyline of the film, given the fact that the script writing is still at its very beginning stages. Manganiello discussed in an interview with Mark Madden’s radio show what to expect from the upcoming movie, saying:
“It’s going to be gritty and action-packed and cerebral and all of those elements that people love about Batman.”
The actor also elaborated on how The Batman will differ from the other past movies:
“When I met Ben we sat down and we talked about, you know, the role. We talked about the movie. His take is a fresh take but I think the audience is going to be surprised, because it’s a road that no one’s really gone down that’s completely integral to, you know, who Batman is. And I think it’s gonna be refreshing but at the same time completely familiar. But it’s going to take this franchise in a direction that I think a lot of people are going to be really happy about.”
Manganiello also complimented Batman star on his director chops, praising him for past works:
“Ben’s a great director, man. I mean the last movie that man directed won best picture. He’s got an Oscar for writing. Like, this is all the components to go down as a… everything is lined up for a really really really great movie. Not only a superhero movie but just a great great movie.”
