Shortly after the Arrow season 5 finale, we wrote about how both Manu Bennett's performance and the writing for the character of Slade Wilson/Deathstroke had made us want a Deathstroke spinoff.

We were far from alone; other fans, news sites, and the like have been chiming in with similar comments, and Bennett has been retweeting many of them, encouraging fans who want to see more of his take on Slade to reach out to executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and other potential players like Warner Bros. Television, DC Entertainment, and Netflix.

Bennett, who had tried and failed to preserve the surprise of his return in last week's episode ahead of its airing, isn't the first Arrow actor to try to kickstart a movement; a few seasons back, The CW mulled a Suicide Squad miniseries or storyline that would put John Diggle and Lyla Michaels front and center, and Diggle's actor David Ramsey was all for it. Even Bennett, though, doesn't claim to be the ultimate authority on Deathstroke.

"I think the most important person to get behind any Deathstroke original series is Marv Wolfman, who created the character," Bennett tweeted a short time ago. A few minutes later, Wolfman responded.

"Much appreciated, Manu," tweeted the writer of The New Teen Titans and Crisis on Infinite Earths. "I love Deathstroke and I was overjoyed to see your return and would love to see you do more." The comment is just shy of an endorsement of a Deathstroke spinoff, but it's possible that Wolfman is playing it cool, either because he knows about plans or because as someone who still regularly works for DC it's unwise to be seen as too vocal about Warner Bros. corporate strategy. Wolfman has also recently been seen taking notes with Joe Manganiello, who will play Deathstroke in The Batman.
