Dream Team! Deathstroke And...Aquaman?

This is interesting. Joshua Williamson, writer of the Flash and Justice League vs. Suicide Squad books for DC, posted the image below on Twitter a few days ago. It reveals at least a small appearance by our main man in Flash #33, out this month, as part of the ongoing Metal storyline running through the Bat books.

Check out this amazing 2-page spread @MrHowardPorter & @hificolor did for FLASH #33. The 1st part of the Bats out of Hell crossover! METAL!

He's involved with some pretty heavy hitters there. Wonder what his motivation is? And why he'd be partnered with Aquaman, of all people.

No mention of him or any of the other guest stars above in the solicitation text, however, so his contribution might amount to little more than the panel above.

“JUSTICE INSURGENCE” part one! 

After the harrowing events of DARK NIGHTS: METAL #3, the JUSTICE LEAGUE has scattered around the world to find the only artifacts that can fight back against the invasion of the Dark Multiverse. The League thinks they know how to take back their world, but they are not prepared for who is standing in their way. The Seven Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse. All the brilliance of Batman, but none of the morals.

Barry Allen, The Fastest Man Alive, is the first to get a taste of their plan, as BATMAN: THE RED DEATH takes him on at the Fortress of Solitude.

So could it be that Deathstroke actually guest-stars in an Aquaman? Not in October, as Aquaman's issue that month features the fifth part of a story entitled Underground. That story concludes in November. Part two of Bats Out Of Hell takes place in Justice #32.  Aquaman is on the cover, but there's no sign of Deathstroke.

Maybe the preview material will reveal a bit more. At this point it doesn't look like we'll see much of him but it's cool to see him included at all.
