Normally it’s the female DC characters who look like strippers. Striking a bold blow for equality, Warner have announced that hunky Joe Manganiello, the MVP of the gyrating good time that is Magic Mike XXL, will face off against Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight as super-mercenary, Deathstroke.

DC Entertainment CEO, Geoff Johns, spilled the news in an interview in the Wall Street Journal, prompting Manganiello to confirm via Tweet:

You may recall that Ben Affleck recently posted some footage of someone as Deathstroke from Justice League‘s London set – apparently Manganiello was in London at that time, so it could very well be him in the costume. What do you think?

If nothing else, it’ll be fun to see Batman go up against a foe who is capable of going toe to toe with him in hand to hand combat. Bane aside, most Batman villains we’ve seen on the screen have been no great shakes in the fisticuffs department.
