After Arrow‘s action-packed season finale last week, fans are seeing Deathstroke in a whole new light. The guy is becoming more of an anti-hero, and he’s beginning on this new quest to find his son. With this storyline unfolding, everyone online has started begging for a Deathstroke solo series.

When we say everyone, we mean everyone. Deathstroke creator Marv Wolfman seemed excited by the idea, as did Arrow star David Ramsey. Well, now it looks like Deathstroke himself is in on the action.
Manu Bennett has played the character since season 2 of Arrow, although he hasn’t been around much as of late. But now he’s back in business, provided he’s one of the chosen characters to survive Arrow‘s finale cliffhanger.
On Twitter Wednesday afternoon, Bennett started urging fans to help get Deathstroke his own series. He called for everyone who wanted a Deathstroke show to “rally” together so they could make something happen. He also tagged DC Comics, WB, producers Greg Berlanti & marc Guggenheim, and Netflix, just to make sure they were aware of how much people wanted this to happen.

With this kind of support, maybe a Deathstroke series is possible. The only real hurdle in the process would be the DC films, which are set to begin featuring the same Slade Wilson character, portrayed by Joe Manganiello. That hasn’t exactly gotten in the way in the past though, as The Flash and Captain Boomerang each have big-screen counterparts as well.
If you’re in support of this potential series, be sure to back Bennett up on Twitter, he’s loving the help fans are giving him.

After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).
Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
