Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons
Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons is an American animated web series that was announced in May 2019 and premiered on January 6, 2020. Originally planned to air as a 12-episode web-series on CW Seed, these plans were canceled after the first episode appearing on CW Seed on January 6, 2020. The first episode that premiered and the 11 subsequent episodes planned to debut as a web series were later re-purposed into a direct-to-video animated film, Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons: The Movie, released digitally on August 4 and on Blu-ray on August 18, 2020. A second episode was eventually released 10 months later on November 24, 2020. While existing as a direct-to-video DC Animated film, like Batman Ninja it is considered a stand-alone entry that is not part of the DC Original Animated Universe series of films.
