Justice League set picture has Zack Snyder working on Deathstroke storyboards

We've gotten various teases from the set of Justice League over the past few months, the biggest of which came from Ben Affleck himself when he revealed that Deathstoke - who will be played by Joe Manganiello - will be making an appearance in the film.

Now Zack Snyder is getting in on the act, taking to Twitter to share a photo of himself working on storyboards for a Deathstroke sequence...while wearing Batfleck's gauntlet.

Exactly who Deathstroke is conversing with in that storyboard isn't made clear - although smart money says it's Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor - and while it would be fun to see Slade Wilson confront the Justice League it's more likely that his appearance will sow the seeds for Affleck's solo Batman movie. In any case, it'll be good to get an early look at Manganiello's character in action.

Directed by Zack Snyder and starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Mamoa, J.K. Simmons, Amber Heard, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher, Justice League is currently scheduled for a November 17, 2017 release.
