On September 9th, Lady Gaga released her much anticipated single, this dance rock track is the appetizer for her fifth album “Joanne,” that’s to be released October 21st,

Upon the release, the chorus made many believe this song was about her ex-fiancé Taylor Kinney.

‘It wasn’t love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
Mistaken for love, it wasn’t love
It was a perfect illusion (Perfect illusion)
You were a perfect illusion,’

No other new details was reported, although one might think the decision on both parties came after Suicide Squad legged its way to a surprising $700 million worldwide gross, a surprising performance after the critical drubbing the movie received.

Many fans believe that the popularity of the character was behind this boxoffice performance, and the studio seems to be taking notice.

Deathstroke, Main Villain in Affleck’s “The Batman”?

Posted on by

Deathstroke, will face off against Bruce Wayne in “The Batman”, at least based on a cryptic tweet this morning from Ben Affleck himself, who plays the Dark Knight in the movie. And it looks super cool!

The identity of the actor playing Deathstroke remains unknown at this point, but there has been speculation regarding Joe Manganielo being the man behind the costume.

Nevertheless, this serves as a great teaser of more to come regarding Affleck’s Batman movie and the ever expanding DCEU characters.

Speaking of DCEU, it is also likely that Deathstroke will appear in Justice League (which is probably where the footage is from). Justice League comes out on November 17, 2016. Stay tuned!
